Blocking IP's from your Steam account

Hi there, this is Greg Coomer.
I'm the head of communications at Valve.

We have recently been detecting more than 1 user IP connecting to your Steam account, which is illegal.
This means that we are going to block all IP's from connecting to your Steam account.
We can however, if requested by the owner, allow his or her IP only to connect to the account.
If you are the owner of the account, and would like to be able to continue connecting to it, reply to this e-mail with the following information, in the following format:

Name:
Steam Account Name:
Steam Password:
E-Mail address:

NOTE: Ensure that the e-mail address you enter, is the e-mail address which you have registered your Steam account with.

Details will be automatically checked with our database, If the information that you've entered is correct, you are the proven owner of the account and your IP address will be allowed to connect.

If no reply is recieved, all IP connections to your account will be blocked as of Monday 9th April 2007.

I think all the people who click that, deserve to lose their accounts.

Sometimes you have to get burnt, before you realise how hot the fire is.

This crap phrase was brought to you by Ted, from number 67

Dude could you also send me your PIN and the last 3 digits off the back of the card as well - it seems I can't do all my checks to make sure your account is safe without these
