    Steam scam warning - user "Kyngo"

    Hi guys,
    I just got a chat request from a guy "Kyngo" who apparently belongs to our XtremeSystems Steam group. I joined, and here is what happened:

    Site looks similar to genuine, but it's a scam. Genuine Steam community is located at https://steamcommunity.com/. I just thought I should warn you about that, especially since he's on our Steam group.

    Got this aswell today, it's obviously a scam and probably nobody here would fall for it.

    Ban please.

    Invite only is probably a good idea.

    I got it too, but as you thought "nice try"
    Didn't even press the link.

    EDIT: Do we have a list over what ppl are called in the steam community vs. XS?

    I go by my real name at the Steam-XtremeSystems, "Søren".
