Someone said on Discord they accidentally reported me for illegal purchases, But it sounds fishy

[Cioss]

He said "I was about to report someone by illegal purchased but I accidentally reported you instead of him, for fraudulent report the steam developer said that you could get suspended on your steam" And then proceeds to show me an image of a steamsupport reply saying I will get banned in 4 hours permanently, But it sounds fishy that you will get banned perm if someone accidentaly reports you.

[Noa.]

It's a scam

It's a scam method, just ♥♥♥♥ with him and then unfriend and block him lol.

Imagine you get banned, just because a stranger reported you...... Valve will never contact you via Discord.

The scam is so old.....

Report, move on. Don't engage with them and give them reason to report you for real for harrassing.

I already reported him to discord and such, don't worry.

Just remember:
If it's not a notification in your Steam Client, it's an obvious scam.
Messages through Steam Chat also would be scams.

And most importantly:
Random people, regardless of the Display Name (which they can make whatever they want), will be completely unaware of what you're doing in Discord or outside of Discord, unless you're streaming or speaking about something.

Always report anyone that makes any claim about your account.

I stopped right there.

Even Alden tried warning people when they were impersonating him...

Scam, even though a million people know that

[Boricle]

someone just tried to scam me

[Crashed]

Probably using Discord to evade any sort of Steam enforcement, and get a hold of a "clean" account.

This actually happened to me. For me, the scammer nearly drained all the cash out of my backing account forcing me to pay in bitcoin transactions. I’ve lost nearly $1,700 from this.

Well iam not shocked. But i bet the scammer is happy about the easy earned money.

I got this scam too, had to change my underwear after...then googled it and everyone was pretty much saying it was a scam, I blocked them after telling them they were being a poo poo face.
Like most scams it relies on fear, they want to scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of you, so that you stop thinking logically....even me as a 30 year old, took me a few minutes to realise how stupid it was.
