Uhh... congratulations? http://xkcd.com/538/ (Also not to be one of "those guys" [not that you seem to mind] but $550 in a steam account isn't anything worth drooling over. A quick glance at http://www.steamcalculator.com/ shows me that I have double that in my steam account, and I'm not going to go through the trouble of spoofing my MAC address - really that's just starting to get a bit full of one's importance.)

I would have just said "if it is sent to spam, it's spam" or "there's no such thing as a VAC admin and a Valve staff member will not randomly ask for your password" or just plain old "don't be an idiot and share your password." Honestly, you are just boasting rather than complaining. No one cares if you own lemmings or TMNT on Steam just so you can flaunt your successes.
