dont get suckered into signing up for this scam or you will lose your steam account !
the link is not to steapowered website but to a free webhosting site at *****.t35.com which will no doubt
look genuine but when you login with username and password it will allow the scammer to hijack your steam account.
Dear Steam user,
This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration to activate your free version of CounterStrike : Pro.
Please follow the following steps,
*Visit the Steam homepage http://www.steampowered.com/.
*Log yourself in by using your Steam Username and Password.
(If you are in a public place, make sure you are the only one that sees your account information)
*After logging in you wil get an activation code, copy the code and move on to the next step.
You will now have to choose between ATI & nVIDIA.
*After clicking on the ATI or nVIDIA logo, you will be asked for the activation code
(So make sure you have copied the code)
After following all this steps, your game is now activated on your Steam account.
You can now go to the 'Games' tab on Steam and download your free version of CounterStrike : Pro.
(if you don't have steam, download it from our site.)
Signed,
The Steam Team

I got that the other day, I knew it was fake as it came to the wrong address. Then when you moved your mouse over the link you could see that address was wrong as well.
