    What happened? Description:
    User has contacted me with a question if I could be a replacement for a one person in a ladder game (DotA presumably, but could be any CS:GO or TF2) - I said that I was no longer playing any ladder games, so I thanked for remembering me and declined the offer.
    After that he asked me to vote on his team in ChallengerMode tournament and gave me a fake link, that I was not aware of.

    By my mistake and stupidity I entered my credentials on that website thinking that it is a real site. In a moment I was logged out from Steam on my computer and a few very expensive trade requests were sent to his bot account:

    | steamname: poisteeridco1972
    | steam3ID: [U:1:1307115041]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:653557520
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199267380769
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561199267380769

    I had MFA activated thus was lucky that all the trades were in hold for 24 hours. Incident was reported to Steam support.

    Annotation: This person was in my friends list for like >8 years, back from playing on the same TF2 server. I did not had any communication with this person for more than 7 years now after server was shut down. I do not have or had any closer relation with this person than just a known face on a server and "Steam friend". Ideal occasion to use a leftovers of trust for a scam that looked very legit.
