Luckily it only took a day to get my account back as I had solid proof that it was my account (reciepts from paypal ect). I have another account and went on that to talk to the hacker and he tried to convince me the only way to get my account back was to get 5 other accounts hacked. ****** 
I was wondering that too clippa, also how good are the passwords people are using?

offered 3 free games
it came from a guy I know on steam, always been decent to me
people are way too trusting of people they meet on the internet. it scares me.
if I've never met you in real life, I don't know you, and that's that.
I don't give anyone my steam account name/pass word who I don't know,
might get away with display name although loads of people might have the same name as you oddly
