    This is clearly a scam.

    http://welcometosteamgames.t35.com/

    It's hosted on a free web host server, the url contains nothing similar to the ones that Valve use. It is also a direct copy of the steam community page (https://steamcommunity.com/) with some added features. The placement of some text is also off and not aligned properly. Do not enter in your steam account information if this is sent to you through chat or some other method!

    Some idiot tried to send me this through steam chat. Scams like this are common among the steam community. If there is a promotion like this you can believe that Valve will be promoting it a great deal themselves and you most likely already heard about it. Do not believe anything in steam chats that asks for your account info in anyway.

    I don't normally post this stuff, but there have been a number of people on PA and others that have joined Steam through TF2 F2P, so just a heads up about the assholes out there. Steam will never ask you for your password, they might only ask for your account name if you contact support with an issue, but that's about all.
