You should give them fake names and passwords

well you now the email is fake because being able to install steam on multiple PCs/macs at home work or wherever to be able to play your games is one of the main selling points of buying games from steam.

see it's the first point they make: http://store.steampowered.com/about/ under 'Instantly access your favorite games'

stupid scammers

On the downside however, they now know your e-mail account is live and in use, so they can add your address to the hit list.

very very true, internet 101 is:
do not reply to spam email
do not click any link inside the mail
only click the junk button of the email provider (not the link in the email that says junk) or just delete the email.
