So I've had two people message me this in the last few hours and another one yesterday. (None of them play FL thankfully so it may not have spread to any of our community members).
One of the guys who sent me this hadn't even had any activity on Steam since 28th August
There's a message going around that looks like this:
[Image: bPelXsm.png]
It downloads some kind of 'SteamStealer' virus within a file that most Anti-Virus software does not pickup on yet. As far as I know, you're not actually infected until you open the file downloaded (But still, just to be on the safe side don't open that link at all).
The virus wipes removes all items from your inventory and sends them to another person.
If you've already opened this, change your password immediately.
Here's a good guide for dealing with the situation: http://steamcommunity.com//sharedfiles/f...=288873991
edit:
Just got another message from someone with a slightly different message

edit2: Just want to mention that the virus is automatically sent to the friends of those who are infected. Your friends aren't trying to trick you, they've fallen victim of this and aren't really to blame.

Found this video explaining a little bit about how this is working
