    ok I had a OP scammer tag I appealed on OP and now I am appealing here.

    so here's what went down
    last year, around 18th october, a account named Hi! added me into a convosation and he had a link to a legit looking steam website, which said I could earn free steam games. (i was stupid) and i put in my email information and I lost my steam account. he probably changed his steam name by now. soon I went on steam support and I asked to get my steam account back which I did but I forgot to change my email straight away and lost it again but i got it back again. this is the link to the forum of me getting my account back
    https://support.steampowered.com/view.php?ticketref=5121-TDJK-9938 but when I go on the outpost servers I see that my name has the SCAMMER tag next to it. I didnt understand what I did as I thought that it had to do with trades and I didnt scam anyone in any trade. I decided to leave it. then later in 2013 I checked around steam rep to find my name and I found two pages on steam rep reporting me

    it apparantly was about me phishing a person into thinking he/she could earn free games by going into a scammer website. here are diffrent screenshot of this from the above links

    now here's the weird thing. the date on the screenshots (above) was around 22 october 2012 where apparantly was when my account was hijacked. so the person who hijacked my account was the person who sent the people who reported me, the links.

    just in case you don't believe I got hijacked thats me in the steam support forum
    here's a screenshot of my steam support account http://imgur.com/JZMPuOB
    here is also a screenshot of the message I got telling me they have changed my password (date is 25/10/2012) http://i.imgur.com/F9VbNoq.jpg?1 ( I changed it after)
    i regained my steam account on 21st but lost it again later in the day due to not changing the email straight away.
    Please I hope you will help me
    Thank you
