Beware PC gamers, a new scam is making rounds on Steam, posing a risk to your account. This scam comes in the guise of a fake playtest invite for a game like Mafia: The Old Country. The phishing link is sent through direct messages, enticing you to click and add it to your Steam Library with promises of a playtest invitation. While the link might seem legitimate at first glance, careful inspection reveals it as a scam. Although the specific page for this scam seems to have been taken down, the consequences of falling for such traps could be severe, potentially leading to compromised accounts or exposure to malicious software. Always approach any link-containing messages with caution, as even those from trusted sources could be compromised. Steam’s play test invite system is rarely used, and legitimate invites will appear in your Steam notifications tab rather than as direct messages. Stay vigilant and safeguard your gaming experience from such scams. Be cautious, and think twice before clicking on any suspicious links.
