Tell him to contact Steam support and include some proof of ownership like what is mentioned in that link Flash posted.M.N.I.F.T.K wrote:All right here is the story, My friend Zack...

As far as helping him; people that willingly turn over their email address, email password, Steam account name, Steam password and Steamguard code for "Free games" typically cannot be helped. It's more of a maturity and experience thing. He'll eventually learn from his mistakes, just like we all did when we first ventured onto the Internets.

Re: Friends Steam got hacked.
Ah that reminds of the time when I was 13 I had gave everyone my passwords for some game called... I think Adventure Quest. I saw ads for it ago. Must still be around. But back to the story, It was for a free premium account someone had offered me.Crusty Juggler wrote:Tell him to contact Steam support and include some proof of ownership like what is mentioned in that link Flash posted.M.N.I.F.T.K wrote:All right here is the story, My friend Zack...
