Ok, i just got a scam link sent to me, though i would warn you.
THIS IS A SCAMLINK DO NOT ENTER ANY LOG-IN INFORMATION AT ALL!: http://www.badcompany2fr3e.tk/
When you click on the link it looks like a steam website but if you look at the adress it's from a non-official steam site.
A good thing to remember when you are following links or recommendations is to always check to see if the adress to the site is correct(Official) before you enter any important information. There is no way scammers can "copy" the adress of other sites so if the adress is correctt you wil be safe.

Yeah its kinda sad how many people fall for this.
But some people are new on the internet and might not see what we see that well.
Here is the chat:
"Whiskey:
http://www.badcomany 2fr3e.tk/ Only on is now free Steam game: badcompany2"
"StatiC: from a .tk site?"
"StatiC: hope you didnt fall for this dude xD"
"StatiC: u there?"
"Whiskey is now offline"

There's about 10 things which are raising massive alarm bells for me straight off, from the URL obviously being a fake, to the "free web hosting" at the bottom of the page, to the links which don't work, to the site working much slower than the official steam pages, to the pictures that don't load, to the icon in the tab being wrong, and to looking through the source seeing the failed copy and paste of the steam page as the most obvious things.
It's just so obvious, and I have no sympathy for people who do get caught up in stuff like this.
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Doggie does remove the link as there's always a chance someone will be ultra stupid and click the link and actually try and log in.

Yea, i got this from Whiskey last night. I think his account is hacked, because he filled in some info or something.
Poor him.

StatiC has been cautious enough to make it extremely obvious *not* to fall for this, with all the red text it would require some serious lack of intelligence to fall for it.
You'd be surprised at how fast Mozilla and Google are at adding sites like these to their malware-list, though. I suspect it will be replaced by a large red "WARNING"-sign anytime soon!
