<Urgent!>Fraud team is a scam?

[HobbItSam(拒絕送院)]

Will steam employees ask you to transfer money through crypto wallet to verify your account money is clean or not?
Coz someone called Sean Vanaman told me to do this to proof of my account cleanliness


Edit:
It actually a scam.

tldr:
Someone added my steam as friend and told me that my name had been used by someone else to making a scam for SC2 knifes. And sent me a screen shot of reporting my account to suspend/ delete my account. (with proof of the "Report form" screenshot)

And I've to communicate through Skype. And someone called "Sean Vanaman" told me to verify the account balance and have to "CHECK MY FUND IS CLEAN OR NOT" by TRANSFERING HALF OF MY STEAM TOTAL SPENDING TO A CRYPTO WALLET ADDRESS by using ETH.

The scam was so legit that he had a e-version of employee verification from Steam and Gabe Newell signature.

AND I HAVE TO TRANSFER THE MONEY THROUGH SCREEN SHARING!

Luckily, I've been in a really doubtful feeling about this when he tried to guide me to transfer money to Crypto money.

And Im really appreciated all the people who told me not to trust this guy from it and post a link about the scams that was really common.

The scary part is that the SCAMMER did create alot of FAKE PAPERWORK to makes you fells legit.

PLEASE DONT TRANSFER THE MONEY BY ALL MEANS, AND DONT TRUST ANYONE APART FROM STEAM SUPPORT MESSAGE ITSELF.

Of course not. Use common sense, what self respecting business would do that? Why would they need to verify things when they control the system and have all that information already at the ready?

It's a scam, yes.

[Slav Mcgopnik]

Scam.

He just said he is transfering the money to my account
but Im really doubt about this process

[HobbItSam(拒絕送院)]

Context:
I've been told someone using my name to scam people(not my account)
and he gave me the skype chat to contact someone from steam

And he asked me to fransfer some money to a wallet in order to proof myself is not guilty to scam people

[pckirk]

Scam!

If you don't believe us, why are you asking? No matter what crap story you've been told, it's all fake.

Real steam support people will not contact you outside of steam. If someone tries to get you on discord/skype/ any third party chat, it’s 100% a scam.

Don’t trade him anything, don’t give him money, don’t trade anyone for now until you get clear of the scam and can be sure your account is secure.

Nothing more needs to be said over PMs. My point has been made here. This person is trying to scam you out of items, money, crypto, whatever they are asking for. They are not legit, stop talking to them, and do the account security checklist.

[Aluvard]

Scam.
Follow steps 1-6 to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (should be nothing in the APIKEY)

[Pscht]

No chat, no PM. Keep it here. That way you can't fall for ANOTHER scam. Yes, they often double-dip, promise help and scam you more.

He just said my account will be in delete process...
idk man

[wuddih]

no employee related to Steam will EVER contact you anywhere, not even on Steam itself.

stop talking to people and do the procedure mentioned in #10.

Sounds like you'd rather be scammed than listen to anyone else but the scammer. Good luck with that.

People can *say* all sorts of things. That's how they scam you.
Another popular scam is to get a Discord message from someone saying they accidentally reported you for cheating, and you need to click the link to fix it.

The real Steam/etc don't contact that way.


edit: sounds like you need to watch out for all the scam phonecalls, too.
