Discord "ValveOfficial"
i have encountered a steam report scam as this person accidentally reported me for scamming on discord (i have no history of scamming anyone and i have never scammed a person since i rarely trade to the players) for tonight I am not quite sure if I almost got scammed to really valve contact other steam users in discord?

Does Valve state anywhere that they have a presence - let alone user support - on Discord, which is a third party service?

Does it make sense to you that somebody from Valve would contact you on Discord given that they have their own support/ticket service?

Nah that's 100% a scammer. There is no way Valve gonna contact you from discord.

Perhaps this will answer you:

Valve employees will never communicate with you about your account using any chat system including Steam Chat and Discord. The only way you can speak with a Steam Support agent about your account is through the Steam Support Help Site. There's no situation in which you'd need to reach out to a Valve or Steam employee directly to resolve an issue.

But the scams do continue just as much.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
