    Ok, I haven't been around here for a while, but I just got 2 messages today from Empires mod forum members that leads me to believe they have been scammed out of their accounts.

    The links were the same, and ended in ".tk"

    Watch out for this.

    I got both, people are dim.

    TBH I didn't actually bother reading it until empty pointed it out to me, I just assumed shooting was doing some stupid thing I didn't give a shit about.

    quickly check if ur email still works, sometimes when they are farming massive amounts of email, they change all the emails later.

    Just remember, if there is a beta on steam, you can use it in your steam options menu, you don't have to enter your password anywere

    Open your steam options. If you can participate in a beta, it will tell you ;)

    Well at least for the alleged Shooting account you can tell it is fake because it includes Clantag and Rank.
