Is this a scam?

[Roseberry]

Hello there, I got DMed on discord by some user who said the following:

Hello Good day sorry to bothering you here is this your Steam account? Im getting trouble with your Steam account."

Along with the message, they sent a screenshot of my steam profile

Yes it's a scam. Report, block and move on.

It's the usual start of a scam. It will most likely lead to something about inventory or trades, and you being falsely reported requiring you to talk to someone else who pretends to be someone from Steam Support.

just an fyi

this is often the 2nd step in the con

the first involves you already giving them your info

just to be safe, make sure that you do not trade until you have done these

the scam involves you trading your stuff to a "safe" account

a friend or the like

and the scammer hijacking the trade

so, do these in this order

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

(there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

#1 why this is a scam.

on discord

#2 why this is a scam.

*If* support wanted to talk to you, and they don't need to unless you've opened a ticket first, they will ONLY do this on Steam, through a system that normal users cannot use.

If anyone on any platform messages you about anything to do with your account, it is a scam.

Please use your common sense. The fact that this happened on discord should have immediately informed you that it's a nonsense scam.

They dont use common sense and this is why and how people are getting scammed out of billions of dollars.

If my bank calls me and tells me i have problems or i need to verify myself to them i firstly tell them to go and EFF themselves for being scammers and, secondly, that i look forward to my bank account being locked, so i can go down there in person and sort it out.

How can smart people be so damn stupid as to believe people on the phone or in messages? But they do so they keep doign it as it pays. Pays to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars now in fraud every single year. From pig butchering scams to scams about steam accounts. People are fricken stupid and those people almost deserve to be scammed so they learn
