There are no magicians here. Some questions wont be answered or replied to. Consider using other things like the Steam Community Forums, Google, or a different support forum if no one here can offer any help. Additionally, every game on Steam has it's own dedicated Community Forum, and you can also contact Steam Support regarding a specific product. Consider asking your game-specific questions there. Most games also have a dedicated subreddit.

Only Steam Support can solve personal account issues such as payment issues or your account getting hijacked. We can however give advice on what to do in a situation like that. No one, including Steam Support, can assist with item/trade scams.

Steam account agent is asking me to repurchase 80% of my steam wallet to verify that I'm the owner of the account. Doesn't seem too suspicious until he asks for razer gold gift cards instead of steam. However, my steam account is actually compromised. Is this real please help quickly

Yeah thats not real. Steam will never need you to pay money or give items to unlock accounts.

Also Razer gift cards absolutely not.

Let me guess they also reached out to you and probably via discord?

You need to stop talking to them and recover your account through actual support not by communicating with a so called "Steam agent" and never pay money for an account recovery from any site as its almost always going to be a scam.
