    Appeal description:
    I met this guy while playing Dota 2 and he added so we could party sometime and play together(that's what I thought). Yesterday (24th January,2017), he asked me that he wanted to buy my items, I was suspicious about it I told him to go first but he said he wanted assurance and asked for 3 items in my inventory but I said No and he said that he will add me in facebook and talk about it so he can go first without any assurance. So we added each other and we added each other and started talking. The screenshots of our texts are added below:

    After that I quickly blocked and muted him on Facebook and went to Steam to change my password but I was unable to do it. While changing it, it started asking for a 'Fresh Login' I thought it was because I changed it but the password wasn't working, he changed my password. I tried 'Forgot password' option, kept trying but I found out that he changed email associated to that account and removed my phone number associated to that account. I sent a message to Steam Support after that and this morning I get a reply saying that they have changed it and they sent the new password to my account and I went through the chats and found out that he was chatting with my friends asking them to buy their items.
    View attachment 637643 This is the screenshot of my account password being changed by the hacker.
    I don't know why but I can't add more screenshots so I will add it in the comments(like its said in the screenshots rules thread).​

    P. S.: After logging in my account, I found out he had texted some of my friends asking to buy their items. He also unfriended some of my freinds, my friends told me. And maybe some removed me because of the hacker asking them that he wanted to buy their items.

    I blocked all communication, reported and unfriended him soon as I got my account back as I was afraid that he might try to hack it again. So I can't get our chats back and I can't reply to my appeal thread anymore.

    After a review of the report/taking into account the appeal, I am unable to consider this appeal.
    Willfully lending out of account credentials is NOT considered a hijacking for SR appeal purposes. You are responsibile for your accounts security, that is Valves stance (as they told you) and SRs stance (by policy) Furthermore, the user would have been unable to make or receive any trade(s) due to using a new device that would have triggered a trade cool-down, this fact does not match with what was in the report.

    I will be unable to grant such an appeal.
