No, that is a scam. Do not send any skins and secure your account.

Because they already have access to your account. You logged into a phishing site and gave them access.

To bypass the authenticator for trading, they scare you and make you want to send your skins to another account. They then cancel that trade and send another in it's place, before you can authenticate the trade. This makes it to where you authorize the trade to the scammer's account (profile avatar and name changed to match that of the intended account).

Hence why they gave you time to send your items.

"We allowed you to send value skins to a friend or a storage account within 24 hours."

Valve wouldn't post it on your profile and they wouldn't give time to send skins. They would have simply banned the account and you would have to contact them about the ban.

Correction.

You got phished.

The good news is that you can learn from it, educate yourself on scams and eventually make your online life ever more safe.

Something everybody should do in this day in age, because while what happened to you is scary. Just imagine if it was your bank account that got phished this way. Could be much, much worse in the future if you don't learn to be safe online.

Choosing to log into a scam skin website with your Steam account does not equal hacking.
