    So its seams that NisseFar and Nivek are hackers and if you add them they will hack your pc and kill your drive... is this true?
    heres also a message someone sent me telling me about it.

    If two people by name (NisseFar and Nivek) wants to add you to their list, do not accept. It is a virus.Tell it to everyone on your list because if ome person on your list adds him or her, you get it too. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.Please pass it to everyone on your list.DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, NO MATTER WHAT!

    Im a little scared but then I have virus protection so I don't know what the think about this @-@
    Thank you

    This isn't telling us anything.... how about posting the users ID block?
    Otherwise you can report them to Valve.

    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    From JUST adding someone? Not that I've heard of, and if that were the case it would probably be a vulnerability with Steam. If they send you a link and you click on it, most certainly you can get a virus. I wouldn't recommend adding them and taking the risk though.

    This looks like a chain letter.

    People have been sending this around for years (since 2013 from my memory). I recall it being sort of a hoax back in 2013 and it most definitely is meaningless now. Just a bunch of people who see it and don't look into the claims or how recent they are, and then spread it themselves.

    Oh... forgive me for being new to the internet. I prefer dank memes over this old stuff...
