# 3 Want to know whether the unknown link is Fake/Real?
- Open your own steam profile in a new tab & login safely
http://prntscr.com/2sb035 / http://prntscr.com/2sb1sh

- Open fake URL in another new tab & Check whether the spelling is correct

- Now if the "fake URL is not logged in"
http://prntscr.com/2szvhk & http://prntscr.com/2szt9b
& in new tab your "steam profile is logged in" http://prntscr.com/2sc73p

- That means that the URL is fake & it is designed for phishing
- If you try to login in that fake URL your password will be recorded & the email verification code will be also recorded/stolen
- Then Scammer can login with your details & he can do what ever he wants with your items/account/wallet
- Warn your friends to "not to respond" to your chats from hacked account coz they will use your identity & scam your friends
