... I'm sorry

I hope you 2 get your steam accounts quick! must suck not being able to play games you payed for

Meh, if I have to I will buy the games again. I am not upset about it. Just gotta wait and see what happens. I think they are looking for Left 4 Dead and TF2 accounts. The only thing that sucks is getting the achievements back.

Well the name he used was condemned who is a Steam friend of mine, so i guess I don't know who it was. Like I said I thought it was a friend, but he already had been hacked. At least it won't happen again.

For future reference, before you enter login information, check for a couple things:

1. The name before the suffix in the address must match your site. (ie bla.ebay.com is good, ebay.bla.com is BAD)

2. Look for verified sites and secure connections (ie https:// in the beginning).

3. When in doubt, ENTER YOUR OWN URL (ie instead of using his, go to ebay.com or w/e site you are going to).

it was http....
I just deleted it so it doesnt highlight as a link

You're not going to have to buy them again man, they will reinstate your account. The only real risk is VAC banned stuff...

the VAC banning is only for multiplayer games.
