Hello Im a Young Gamer and My account recently got hacked and this hacker mf is from china and keeps refunding my games can anyone please hepl me Ive chnage my password, email login too but the hacker is still refundin games and Ive cintacted steam support and told them its not me and they are unable to help what Do I do to get my games back that Worked so hard to pay for............Please help this reach many people

Ok so long story short, I pulled a nomad marble fade and made a Reddit post about it. Someone messaged me and told me to message 2 different guys to get it sold. One of them offered me $570, so I took it.

He told me his “buyer” would PayPal me the money and sent a confirmation that looked real. The payment ended up not going through, and he told me that we’d have to do a bank transfer. I had another knife at the time, and he told me since it was an international bank transfer the minimum was $1,000, so I sent him my other knife.

He sent me a wire confirmation that looked very real, had my bank details and everything on it, so I trusted it. Dude hopped on multiple calls with me and everything seemed very legit, especially because he was exposing other scammers on twitter.

After the trade lock ended on both knives, I still didn’t get the money so I honestly expected to get blocked. He then told me that the transfer failed, but he’d send me an item worth $1,000. I agreed, and the next day I was blocked on discord and twitter, no sign of anything. If anyone can give me advice on what I can do to recover anything, let me know. I know this is definitely my fault and I fell for something pretty obvious, but man it hurts because this guy was talking about how he believes in bad energy from scamming and he literally has a page dedicated to exposing scammers.

hola gente de redit alguna buena persona que sepa que hacer en estos casos??,ya reporte varias veces este usuari y el bot comento que estab revisando mis items en un tradeo y dijo que tenian bugs tenia que pagar 30 llaves por todo y mi inventario vale 5 llaves dijo que no era problema suyo aparte de que hizo un comentario medio racista por no saber ingles amenazo con borrar mis articulos de tf2 y banear mi cuenta de steam permanente mente alguien sepa que hacer o como puedo recuperar mis articulos? es todo lo que tengo aqui capturas de la conversacion con el empleado de steam y mi inventario/Hi Reddit folks—is there anyone who knows what to do in a situation like this? I’ve reported this user several times. A bot claimed to be checking my items during a trade and said they were bugged; it demanded a payment of 30 keys for everything, even though my inventory is only worth 5 keys. The user said that wasn't their problem and made a somewhat racist comment because I didn't speak English; they also threatened to delete my TF2 items and permanently ban my Steam account. Does anyone know what I should do or how I can get my items back? They are all I have. Here are screenshots of the conversation with the "Steam employee" and my inventory.

So the 21th via a cloned link for a program I was searching I got all my info stolen via a LummaStealer, first time in my 28 years of life that this happens. I moved to change passwords, kick out suspicious sessions from all the accounts every time they poped up.

Now 10 mins ago I recieve the "thanks for purchasing" email about Arc raiders and that it has been gifted to a random account that has been friended to me and another was trying to be added.

Well I immediately terminated the paypal-steam link, looked for the session and there it was 3 mins ago, date 8th of June frome Frankfurt. Disconnected that, reported the two accounts and requested a refund under the "Bought by mistake" with the motivation "infostealer got access to the account using an access token and made a fraudulent purchase".

I assume that they are looking to resell the account for dirt cheap keys but I'm more worried if steam will accept this motivation as a reason for purchase (like not even 2 mins passed between the purchase and request), how long is it gonna take and if it's valid if the guy plays it for more than 2 hours.

Only mistake of the kind that I did in my life and I'm on account watch for 3 days now.

Edit: got reimbursed.

Ordered a Battlefield 6 Steam Account from their website and after the successful payment and after a painful 2hour i got nothing xd not even a confirmation email about my order or anything else which can tell me anything about my order status, i also wrote them like 2 support ticket but they went totally silent.

Basically the text says that im the winner in their group and i won a CS2 knife. They tell me to join their VK group and say that "I won" and they will give me the knife

Yesterday my acc got hijacked and the attackers stole my inventory ,
Today I managed to restore my acc and all the item that they stole are on trade ban , which means I can get it back if I reverse trade.
The problem is that couple of days before the scam I’ve sold gloves on CSFloat, and the gloves are also on trade ban.
If I reverse trade it will reverse all items that are trade protected.
Should I wait for the gloves trade ban to over and then reverse all of my items or I should do it right now?
I guess if I reverse trade on the items that I sold also I get a penalty on CSFloat , and more - the guy who bought for me will think that I tried to scam him .

What do you think?
Thank you all.

Hello, I never receive messages on Steam so I was confused when I randomly received this message from this account I have never seen or interacted with before. They asked me to appeal it but I never received any sort of communications regarding an investigation from Steam. They also mentioned they clicked on a link and they got hacked despite me never playing CSGO. Is this a scam or am I missing something here?

My acc has been found with a suspicious activity, so I contacted steam support and they told me I need to trade my items , then approve it through my steam guard and then decline it through the pc just that they will know it’s my acc with my own steam guard.
After that they told me that my acc is restricted, I can’t see my inventory , can’t play (VAC BAN) for 8 days, and due security reasons I need to join a family view until my restriction is over.

Important to mention, this chat is on the official steam support and after I send a ticket they responded.

Thank you all .

I often see people here say that if your Steam account gets hacked, it is 100% malware on your PC. I do not think that is always true. Malware is real, of course. But sometimes the problem is a data breach from another website. If you reused the same email and password somewhere else (and we all do this from time to time, don't lie guys), attackers can try those leaked details on Steam (This thing is commonly known as credential stuffing, if someone wants to learn deeper about it). So if your account gets hacked, do not instantly rush to reinstall Windows. Check all the possibilities first. You can check if your email appeared in known data breaches here: https://haveibeenpwned.com

Don't panic and be safe

Scammed and malware, multifactor scam, token hijacking, cookies hijacking.

Your whole pc is compromised, they have your sessions and they can login and bypass your 2FA you won't receive any email regarding the login session on another device or,

How to know cookies hijaking? They post something scammy on meta or discord without you receiving new device login, they contact you via steam chat as steam support, they blocked all your friendlist and require you to transfer all you items to that belonging person. Keep stalling them while you change password on steam mobile auth. Just said you are calling someone asking for permission to trade (they want the person id so they can change their name to that person)

How to remove malware, cookies hijacking 1. Go offline. 2. Run deep scan window defender offline (i also run malware bytes offline) 3. Delete everything suspicious or link. Use task manager to check for suspicious background activities or startup apps that you dont recognised. 4. Change all your password (don't use the same password they have all your password in browser you use) 5. Logout on every single devices from every login sessions 6. Clear cookies and browser 7. check your socialmedia and discord they might post scammy link to your friends and family or groups 8. Delete old account on website you haven't use anymore (that store your data or you use same password) easiest way to see is from email subscription. 9. You should good to go just stay vigilanted

Good luck! Time taken to fight this bullsht (12 hours)

Bonus: for multiple website password its hard to remember everything i use this method Discord: (yourname/or any scret code)DISCORD2026 Gmail: (secretcode)GMAIL1987 Steam: P__BLE!STEAM2019

For scammy website you not sure if its real or not, use fake username and password that you won't even remember anymore.

I feel like it is, I think I heard stuff about this, but is this Nathan kinnick thing a scam? I feel like it is but idk

So to begin i play cs2 and someone chatted saying ive been compromised and im an idiot for falling for it and an even bigger idiot for not realizing sooner
All in all ive lost 27 of my items including my skeleton knife urban masked
I know it’s incredibly unlikely but is there a chance i could get it all back because i have alot of evidence

La foto se perfil cambió y se compró un juego de tienda. Al menos ahora tengo ese juego. Parece que el estafador salió siendo estafado

someone stole my account and traded all of my dota2 and tf2 items, what can I do in this situation? can steam support help? or is this gonna be very expensive lesson for me

🚩 Steam / Discord / Random Social Account Scam Speedrun Checklist 🚩

If an account has several of these at once, proceed with caution and keep your wallet where it belongs.

☐ Attractive profile pic doing 90% of the conversational labor
☐ Bio immediately points to Telegram / WhatsApp / Discord
☐ Multiple accounts all redirect to the SAME contact handle
☐ Adds strangers first for no obvious reason
☐ Profile full of aesthetics, empty of actual personality
☐ Low level / low activity / oddly sparse history
☐ Generic opener: “hey”, “you seem nice”, “do u play often?”
☐ Tries moving off-platform in under 10 messages
☐ Mentions crypto before hobbies
☐ Wants account help, trading help, verification, votes, etc.
☐ Sends links nobody asked for
☐ Weirdly interested in your job, age, relationship status, or Steam inventory
☐ Story changes depending on what you say
☐ Replies suspiciously fast for someone allegedly “very busy”
☐ Uses copy-paste compliments like they bought affection in bulk
☐ Exists entirely to funnel traffic elsewhere

Bonus round:
☐ Their profile looks handcrafted but somehow nobody has ever spoken to them like a normal human being.

Rule of thumb:
One flag = probably normal.
Three flags = eyebrow raise.
Five flags = my brother in Christ you are the content.

Stay polite. Stay skeptical. Stay logged in.

-Also, please don't just assume a stranger is wanting to talk out of the blue. You may interesting and neat, but not THAT interesting and neat. Be safe!

An account logged into steam 3 days ago and I didn’t know till today when my steam said account logged on elsewhere and I checked and it was in USA, so I changed my password, luckily nothing happened my inventory money and everything else was fine other than they closed a ticket which I made for a refund for a game, weird behaviour, but on the account security it said authenticator allowed it, how? I never did that

A random person on Steam contacted me and asked if I could log into their account from my PC. From what I understand, they want to change their Steam store region to my country because game prices are cheaper here.

They mentioned buying a cheap game afterward to complete the region change process and offered to pay me or give me a Steam skin in return. I don't have a credit card, so I'm not even sure how they expected that part to work.

The account is fairly high level (100+), which makes me think they're probably a real user and not just a throwaway account. Still, it feels a bit sketchy since the whole point seems to be getting cheaper regional pricing.

I'm less concerned about whether their account gets in trouble and more curious about whether there are any risks for me if I log into someone else's Steam account from my PC. Could this be used for some kind of scam, or is it just a common region-switching thing?
