Secure your account. Its a scam.

Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Change passwords from a clean computer
Generate new backup codes https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

And yes, it's a scam, so don't trade anything until you have secured your account.

does nothing when you hand over the log in. do the list Wolverine posted and secure the account NOW before the scammer does more damage

the message on your profile is 100% fake. steam does not post ban warnings nor ban messages on the profile, they do not give you time to move items.

Means nothing, when you give away the code.....

When your PC and account are secure again, simply edit your profile name and info back to what it was before. You can also then contact the real Steam support for more help if you want to.

Help -> Steam Support -> and so on.

You might also want to think hard about where you used your account informations, and avoid going there in the future...

Could have been worse. Could have lost access to your online banking, or your porn stash. A few skins is no big deal.

Aside from that, do what people are telling you to do.

Only thing I done lately is looked on skin baron and face it but thanks guys done all the above now so let’s see what happens. Someone on my friends list noticed my profile was different and said same thing happened to his mate and he lost everything and account got banned so god knows some dodgy ♥♥♥♥ going on. But thanks again all

Blatant scam.
Do not use your Steam Login on ANY website other than Steam

Follow this:

Steam will never post garbage in your profile, they would send you a Notification in the Steam Client and MAYBE an e-mail from a valid Steam email (not a spoofed one, not google, not anywhere else).

Follow those steps, do not ever use your login on any site again.
Skin/Trade/Bot sites are a near guarantee to have your account compromised, just like this, which will get you banned from games as well should they use your account to play & cheat on.

Because you logged into a phishing site thinking you were going to get something for free most likely. That's the best guess I have given you gave no additional information .

He's lying, Steam don't notify their customers of bans by modifying their public profile, for starters it would violate data protection laws and GDPR.
