He's ID is --> steamcommuinuity.com/id/Pyroman747/ Anyone that gets something similar, DO NOT PRESS THE LINK. It's not steamcommunity but it's spelled differently and a phising scam! Be Cautious!

Phishing isn't really a physical thing. Phishing is a process by which you bait a person into believing something is legit (like the site) and then lure you in. Almost always they work hand in hand with a keylogger which is the ACTUAL danger you get from a phishing scam. That gets downloaded onto your PC then logs all your keystrokes and sends it to the recipient. It basically logs everything you type and where you type it and lets users log into your accounts.

Anyone that's dumb enough to do this deserves it tbh. And most everyone should have an antivirus anyways if they're using the internet so this wouldn't be that much of a threat.

No one deserves to have their account security breached simply because they aren't aware of these types of scams.

Also, I think it goes without saying, but anything with spelling and/or grammatical errors is almost always not a legitimate entity or coming from a legitimate source. (I'm talking about both the message and the link)
