It's possible but I doubt it. Not much they can really do with it. Most likely gonna appear as a legit Steam site and hope you log in without noticing it's fake, and then boom, there goes your account.

Quote me to see my reply!

im pretty sure if you go to any website they automatically get your ip address or else they wont be able to send or receive information from you so idk what constitutes stealing 

Thank you for clarifying!!!

Did you type the link wrong or is it really "streamcomnuninty"?

That would likely be as scam, if it's actually "steamcommunity" then it's legit...
