    So you just went around sending a random URL that you received to others on your list without even knowing what it was or was for?

    I clicked on the URL someone sent to me, this sent the same URL to everyone on my friendslist. At the time I had no idea what this URL did.

    I assume your account was compromised, correct? Did you create a Steam Support ticket to get your account back?

    What proof do you have that it was indeed the hijacker, and not you?

    I can't really get proof, this occured 3 years ago. I know I didn't send the link I would never have done something like this.

    I'm sorry, but without proof you were hijacked, I can't remove your tag. You are responsible for what happens from your account, and that includes attempted hijacking through phishing links. There is no way we could tell if it was you, or your "friend" using your account, unless you provide proof.

    How can I provide proof if it happened 3 years ago?

    Burden of proof is ultimately on you. What exactly did you see on this website, though?

    I saw nothing, as soon as I clicked the link to the website it immediately started to download something so I closed the browser.

    I'm sorry, without additional evidence that you were innocent in this situation, I have no way to differentiate you from an account hijacker.

    At the time of this I was 11 years old, why would an 11 year old try to hijack accounts.

    Can you provide your trade history at the time the link was sent out, from the day before until 2 days after?

    Im not sure how that will help because I was never scammed for items, nor did I scam for items.
