the account was blocked for no reason, what to do?
Warning - October 20, 2022
This account violated the Steam User Agreement.
?Your Steam account will be completely restricted for 24 hours due to too many fraud reports you've received lately. ? Buying, gifting, trading, cd-key activation, and access to the Steam community will be disabled.
The functions of the account will be limited. Ban is permanent, indisputable and will not be removed by Steam support
? We suggest that you move all of your traded items to another Steam account until we resolve this issue, otherwise they will be automatically deleted as soon as your Steam account is banned.


Can you help me with something ????

Don't do anything, the last part I read scream scam, and means someone on your account.

1. You would've gotten red / yellow notification alert that appear when login, that how you know if account got ban, or something getting revoked from account library.

2. Steam support do not delete accounts unless you requested, they can lock accounts but that if you done something against ToS which you can figure that out already, as only you would know the answer.

3. People can not report you for fruad that not how that works, and Steam has an automated system for people that chargeback on Steam, that why people can't report you for fruad. They can report for trading scam, but not for anything else.

4. If anyone private message you, email you, or whatever out of the blue telling you that your ban, have pending ban, or I accidentally reported you, is a scammer, or that their account been hijacked as victim fell for scam.

Here's are the steps do all of them, don't skip to kick the scammer off your account if had any.
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

4. Generate new backup codes https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

yeah this is a scam. Steam doesn't "warn you" that a ban is about to happen.nor do they tell you to trade items. --- do nothing of the sort and secure your account ---.

Lots of obvious mistakes in the text, and this is something support would never say:
We suggest that you move all of your traded items to another Steam account...

In any case, do not trust anyone claiming to be a Valve employee or Steam Support unless it's a response to your ticket or a warning/ban notice given directly on Steam.

Scam intended to scare you and force you to move the items (make a trade). As the result you'll never see them again.
