Report a translation problem
is there an API here : https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
If yes :
--------------------------
Your account is compromised,
DO. NOT. TRADE.
Do not trade even if the message tells you that you only have X time left.
Do not trade, or you will loose your items due to automates set up by the scammer.
Do not trade at all, even if you are sure it's the correct account you are sending to.
They want you to iniate a trade, that's how the scam works. So not trade.
Steps to take NOW:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer. If you used that passwords for another website, change it over there too.
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
6. Change your trade link
Profile > your inventory > trade offer > Who can send me trade offer > scroll down and make a new trade link.
7. Report the scamming account to support if you are already scammed :Help (top left) > Steam support > CS GO > problem with item > I was scammed
(Replace the game if it's not CS GO items - support cannot give those back, but can ban the bot account)
The whole point of it is to force you to initiate a trade and a bot will cancel and redo a trade instantaneously that you would beleive is the correct one but is not, it will be a bot copying the receiver account almost perfectly in less than one second, you will confirm it but that's the fake account and your items will be send to that other account and lost.
They can do that because they have set up an API key for that, through you connecting to a weird website one day, and they just need you to confirm the (compromised without you realizing) trade through your app.
If you lost your item already, you cannot get those back, that's just an unfortunate expensive life lesson.
