Just to let everyone know, my account was just hijacked after I went to some website called [edited for your protection], guess I should have known better bet oh well. DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBISTE!!!! The link was sent to me by, a guy who's handle is Nacho who I'm pretty sure was probably a victim of the same site. Anyways, I've got a trouble ticket in with Steam right now so hopefully it'll get straightened out shortly, but we'll just have to wait and see.

I take it that the msg i just got wasnt you, you even responded - well whoever it was did. Thanks for the warning, regardless. Reply back if you get your account back, or whatever you end up having to do.

I would like to thanks Gobbles for warning me of the hijacked Don Juan. I also think Gobbles has been warning a lot of other people. Good job Gobbles!!
As for you Don, I hope you get everything straightened out.
Good luck!

lol, you seriously fell for that site?
I'm sure you will get it sorted out, btw stay away from any emails that need you to bank millions of dollars on behalf of the Nigerian president.
anyway, instead of staying away from it - spam the crap out of it with fake account names and passwords.

Lol, yeah I heard about that one. I also got a series of emails asking me to receive some computers from out of the country, fix them, and send them out.

Thanks for the heads up DonJuan. I probably would have thought it was really you if you hadn't posted this.

Just as an update to let everyone know. I sent a trouble ticket in to Steam about my hijacked account, one of the things they ask for is your CD key if you bought the game in a store. The problem I had was that I bought the game almost two years ago and have since lost the box. Didn't really need it as the game was linked to my Steam account and I always had access to it. After I told Steam this they basically told me I was S.O.L. so I went to Steam online and bought HL2DM only, which only ran me $5, and made a new account. Randomly today I got an email from Steam saying they reset my account password. Basically this is for T3 and King in that I will be resuming using my old account with the Steam ID of STEAM_0:0:16047372 and to let everyone else know I'll be back around now. However, I'm heading out to good ol' Texas for my brother's wedding and will be on here scarcely for the next week.

I fixed your steam id in sourcebans as soon as I got the PM. You should be able to get on with the tags and all that.
Thanks for letting us know you'll be gone!

First, big thanks to Eyerock for poating up there about my situation.
it happened to me too but since all my games were gifts I showed them a couple emails and it was all good. That stupid site has supposedly taken 20,000 Steam accounts.
Friend me back when you can. My invites list is longer than my friends lists. :D
Getting used to the Forum,
Nacho.

Just to know now, has DonJuan Fixed his problem?
And if he did, is he playing with (TKC) DonJuan or DonJuan, because there are two Steam ID with his name and picture.
