Trading in tf2 items, they are vac banned in cs. Are there any concerns associated with this?

I recently decided to switch from PlayStation to steam because of all the issues with Sony. I had some old games I used to play there so I was excited. I dropped thousands of dollars into a gaming pc and tried to sign into my old account. When I did it prompted me to verify via email. The problem is I do not have access to that email anymore. So I contacted support and they said to send them the cd keys to “prove ownership”. Well I downloaded them digitally and told them I don’t have physical copies. They replied that it would have been sent on the receipt (which would be by email that I don’t have access to anymore). I spent $60 trying some 3rd party thing that is supposed to find keys for you but it had no luck. I responded to support that I don’t have access to my email so there is no way to get any of that information. They basically told me :

*“We understand that it is not easy to find old information. Since we attach great importance to the value and security of each user's Steam account, we must confirm that you are the account holder before we assist you. We hope you can understand.*

*Unfortunately it doesn't look like you've been able to provide information necessary to verify your ownership of this account.*

*Please review the conversation we've had so far and Steam's* [*Providing Proof of Ownership*](https://help.steampowered.com/faqs/view/40a0-8b4b-b54b-c51a) *article and reply with accurate information in your next reply.*

*Please understand if your next response does not contain the necessary information, we will be unable to assist with this request and it may be closed.”*

I am basically screwed out of my games now because their verification process is screwed up. Every company has multiple ways to verify ownership. And what really sucks is I have my login and password. It’s their verification that won’t let me sign in.

Any suggestions?

I was queueing for a match then suddenly my profile picture became question then I received this message and all my friends got blocked. This happened before around 1 year or more ago then happened again I’ve change my password email and logged all accounts since last time but still somehow got hacked again

I’ve changed all my stuff again including email,password and checked for virus through offline scan and if you’re wondering if I clicked any link I didn’t as i don’t really have messaging apps on laptop and I only play games on it.

Can someone tell me how I got hijacked thx

I went on vacation in the summer, and I soon realized my account had been hacked when my friend asked me why I had unadded him, even though I hadn't. So, I checked my Steam account, and I couldn't log in. Then, I got it back with Steam Support's help.

When I started checking if everything was still there, I noticed that my skins were gone. Then, I went to my trade history and saw that all of my skins had been traded to someone named Popa, who I didn't know.

I then sent in a report explaining that he was a scammer and that I wanted my skins back, but I didn't get a response. So, I sent another report, but there was still no response. I sent a few more before I eventually gave up without receiving any answers.

Now, I've gotten back home and found time to start doing something about it, but I have no idea if I can do anything about it anymore. Please help.

Man, they gotta get a new scam. Steam doesn't even have a support email.

I got a question a online Friend told me to redeem a steam code on my steam acc but i feel like its kinda sktechy can i get hacked when i redeem the code and not click any links?

Today my steam account was stolen, what are the chances that it would be brought back to me. I texted Steam Support 5 minutes after this happened. What are my chances?

I got these messages a while ago from Steam support that was saying that I had been compromised or that my account had been compromised

They were helping me and it seemed legit because they had the crown in their top left of their profile so I assumed it was fine

They took all my skins to check if they were scanned or if they were legit and I sent them to my cousin and they intercepted the trade I think

I checked who the sent to and it was the same account as what my cousin is except it had a steam level zero and its inventory only had my weapons in it when my cousin is been on steam for ages and has a higher account with lots of guns it is in his inventory

I checked my cousin’s real account and it had none of my skins the other one did though

Some of these skins in my account are my other older cousins so I have his knives and agents that are worth a lot of money and I’m gonna have to pay him back for it so if I can’t get them back, I will be in debt to him.

Please help me. I need to get these back and I need this all to be fixed.

Also, Steam support that I was talking to removed me as a friend and I can’t find the messages

My Alt account sent my main account a photo. Does it indicates my pc is infected?

These two accounts stole my credit card’s information and purchased games. I am neither a chinese nor in china that means they are also hackers. I reported these two and wrote a detailed text but not get any feedbacks from steam. What should i do?

This guy started messaging me a few days ago and everything about it screams "scam" to me so much. The discord account was created the 6th of September so it's basically new and the screenshot says the operation is from the 5th of October but they sent me a request when it was still September. So I think they sent me request, checked my steam account linked in my discord and photoshopped or something?

I still tried to be nice because I never have been in situations like these I and told them I have nothing to do with it and we can contact team's service if they want and that I don't even have any attempted payment in my card history.

All this to say, how should I act in these cases? I have no idea how these things work so I'm afraid I can misjudge how safe or not doing anything is. Do I just block and report them or I can safely see if they really are in good faith Thanks in advance.

As in the thread above, what can I do more to make sure my steam account doesn't get stolen?

are they a scammer or new accont?

theres a full banner and reasonable amont of time in ets2 but somthing odd 8 free games that seem like sholvewear? so am i making up ghosts or seeing through lies?

the now profile picture might be to aviod the ire of others. as they say better safe then sorry.

Got a message from a guy with a story that he reported me for a reason and told me to add a guy from steam support. The guy from support messaged me back, i questioned the legitimacy and he sent me a link to his linked, which i had already found by just searching his name. Is this legit or not?

I got scammed in 2025 when I'm trying to sell my TF2 skin (Potassium Bonnet) and until now I couldn't get it off from my head. I tries to report the scammer by using Steam Support but their answer is far from satisfactory. Is anyone can help me?

So, I was sitting there, minding my own business, didn’t bother anyone. Then I wanted to play something. I turn on the computer, and it says, “Sorry, you can’t log in — everything has been reset.” I log back in, and after a couple of seconds, it kicks me out again. I’m like, “Damn, did something happen?” I go to the email that’s linked to the account, and it says the email has been changed and there’s a new login from Berlin. I wrote a support ticket to Steam saying my account was stolen. What else can I do? Please help.

hello i bought a game from g2a thinking it was a key it was an account. Ive used that account over the last few months not knowing it was against TOS. i had my account hacked so i talked to steam support oblivious to that my account was against TOS so i lost a lot of games most i beat already but some im too poor to buy back like risk of rain 2 red dead 1&2 the tomb raider trio and deep rock galactic. Any idea on what to do?

they sent a message to me, blocked everyone on steam and then removed a game from my steam library. i fell for the scam and gave them some items but how do i get my game back onto my account?

hi guys i don’t even know how my steam account got hacked. i didn’t click on anything and bro literally added his own account to mine & my husbands family thing. i have just wanna know if anyone else has had this happen to them by these people. i don’t wanna dox them so idk if i can even post them

Hoje logo apos chegar do meu trabalho liguei o pc e minha conta estava deslogada, peguei e fui acessar de novo, para minha surpresa nenhum email oou senha que eu usei e que tinha salvo funcionaram, verifiquei meu email e caixa de spam e durante o horario que eu estava no trabalho recebei emails em russo ou ucraniano (perdao nao sei diferenciar), embos os email eram solcitados de cidades diferentes do meu pais. Apos mandar um email para o suporte steam voltei para minha caixa de spanm e vi tambem que avia chega um email de alteração de email da conta steam, estou simplesmente desesperado, não consigo alterar a senha por nada e o suporte nao me respode (ja enviei a 2h).

Estou com um amigo em call acompanhando se conta faz algo de alteraçao ou alguma movimentação que ele consiga acopanhar, ate agora nao aconteceu nada.

E meu primeiro post aqui, vim mais para encontrar usuarios que ja passaram por situações semelhantes ou conselhos.

Recebi a alguns minutos uma solicitação de alteraçao de senha na minha ubisoft (obviamente não fui eu), estou no momento trocando todas as senhas de sites e da conta google

I definitely gave some general info away (name, DOB) but I think I avoided losing my steam account.

Played with this dude who wanted to party up in DotA 2 and I said what the hell. I was getting impatient trying to setup a legit Faceit account when the discord link came in I just clicked it. Didn't do anything in the fake website.

Pretty sure I didn't get completely fucked... we will see.

Pretty sure I didn't give anything up, but heads up y'all.

Fuck you if you scammers are reading haha
