    Steam Phishers:
    Explanation: Steam phishers are used to steal your account login name and password either disguising itself as a steam community page or a free game or what ever it may be.

    Warnings

    Preventions

    Steam Digits:
    Explanation: Steam digits are a series of numbers that represents your account. The lower the digit the more experience it shows, also the lower the digit the more the account is worth. Digits are considered the X's in Steam_ID:0:0:XXXXXXXX if there are 8 numbers after the last : there are 8 digits. 1 and 2 digits are not open to the public so if someone is selling one it is 99% chance of a scam. TO FIND STEAM DIGITS JOIN A VALVE GAME, GO INTO THE CONSOLE AND TYPE STATUS
