You've received a gift copy of the game Battlefield Bad Company 2 Standard Edition on Steam‏

got this in an email off someone who i don't know, with the following message

dydy
amuuuuse toi mon poucin


Best Wishes,
chouchou

anyone else ever receive one ?
 
I'd decline it and email Steam Support tbh (or just decline it and ignore it). It could just of being sent to an email gift sent to the wrong address, in which case you shouldn't really accept, or it could have being paid for with a stolen/dodgy card in which case you'd be the prime suspect and you DEFINITELY shouldn't accept it.

You could try messaging the gifter, and ask if it was sent in error. but watch out for any dodgy links in his replies!

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Resend it to my address in Trust.

I know I'm ressurecting an old thread here but I've just received the same email from the same person with the same message 6 months later.

Obviously a scam but I didnt find much on google about it except this thread.
 
I guess they somehow get into someones account, gift games to random people with the persons money, then laugh as everyone gets banned.
 
The email is from steam store ([email protected]). ive only viewed it on my iphone so far so I cant interrogate more.

Ive started Steam up at work and I dont get the gift offer.

I assume the link to redeem will take you to a phishing site to try and get you to log in.
