Another Steam Message scam kicking around

Looks like another message is doing the rounds on Steam.. Just had a "nobody" send me the following message:

YoNiC Hey there PGm, if you would like a free game please visit this link: http://manygame.justfree.com/login.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to choose your game and login to confirm your choice. This is a one time promotional offer, limited free copies for a limited time hurry to get your free game now! Have fun !!

Thankfully Firefox 3.5 reported the site as possible Web Forgery, which I already knew but at least some of us may be forewarned.

Just thought I'd give the rest of you a heads up.

I've posted this to the main website for all to see too.

Good one Bbloke!

What I don't get yet is, where would they be selling the aquired games ?
Finding the site or the service on which the stolen accounts are sold again would be interesting.
Of course not to buy stuff but to take 'em down.

I'm glad I've never experienced anything like that. Once only when a friend messed, unsuccessfully around with me.
