1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Victim profile: 76561198304291191

    What happened? Description:
    Asked me what happened with my account before telling me there were reports against my account. Got me to add another person impersonating a steam admin and was leading down the typical verify item scam.​

    what did you do to your account? did you cheat or something?

    [00:07]
    144 hz:
    nah man, genuinely no clue
    didnt trade today until like 10 and was only on for 30 mins
    any idea how i can find out what's happened?

    [00:07]
    Wanderers:
    maybe someone got pissed on you and made a false report on you
    you should fix it as soon as possible before it's too late for you to fix it and get permanent trade banned and steam lock which prevents you on playing steam

    [00:09]
    144 hz:

    How long have you known this user? Do you have any other ways to contact them outside of steam?
    Also who was the other account they referenced - that is needed information - provide that ID64 to that account ASAP!

    I have known this user for a short amount of time, a few days. Added after a spycrab on an unusual trade server.
    I do not have a way to contact him no.

    here is the accomplice account, his name was Matt Charlesworth:

    I'm not convinced the user was acting on their own.. I saw you comment on their profile, what did they say to you? I need that screenshot of the chat if they made contact.
    It is possible the account was hijacked so I'd like to confirm that. Tell the user they need to post here with full screenshots of the steam support ticket where it confirms they were compromised.

    @144 hz It would appear based on a message currently on the users profile that they may have been hijacked.. I suggest you make contact again and see if that was the case.
    We certainly don't want to tag someone that was innocent. Have them post full screenshots of the steam support ticket here asap!

    Apologies, currently camping and havent had access to reliable data. The user claimed they were hijacked on my profile but another user they attempted to scam told me they had essentially admitted to it AFTER they made this comment and they were afraid of reprocussions. I will unblock and tell him to add evidence to this thread but I don't believe they were hijacked - there was nothing at all in their inventory long before the scam attempt. I'll unblock and message them now.

    @PandaAndBamboos Need a FULL screenshot of the entire steam support ticket you created to recover the account with.
    If you didn't do a steam support ticket - make one now even if you have control back you must tell Valve and they must confirm you were compromised.
    You have 48hours to provide.

    In the meantime I've hidden the ID's you posted - this is NOT your report - but a report against YOUR account.
    You need to clear your accounts name - you can report those other users you feel were involved directly to Valve instead as we do not accept hijacking reports here.

    here. it's proof that my account has been compromised. hope things will clear up and people will quickly realize how obvious and B.S it is with the modified Steam API coding.

    After the guy hijacked/compromised my account, he did some aggressive chain linking threat scams to my other friends. literally ruined my own lifetime of fun. it was pure collateral damage and lost it all of what just happened from the start of today.

    Thanks - that is what I needed
    I'm archiving report based on what accused provided showing they were compromised during the dates for which this happened.
    This is your one pass - you are responsible for your account at all times!
    Report is archived.
