Steps to take NOW:
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 for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)


Please review how you are logging into Steam, you somehow gave them your log in information. This could of been due to the computer being compromised and redirecting to a fake login, or you using a 3rd party site to login to steam.

Once you are sure you have regained control, you can start trading again. Please triple check any trades you make to be sure they are going to the correct account.

report the account the items went to. scammed items are not returned

theyre gonzo. Best you can do is learn from your mistakes!

A Trade API scam usually works as follows:

The scammer gets your Steam Web API Key. This is obtained when you log into a scam website.

The next time you make a trade, the scammer (a bot) uses this API key to cancel the trade.
The scammer (a bot) sets up another profile that looks exactly like the account you're trying to trade to. It creates a new trade to this bot account, this all happens very fast.

You hit accept on your Mobile Authenticator, and the scam is done - congratulations! you've just sent your items to an unknown 3rd party!

Morel of the story... Stop using skin trading sites outside of Steam, they are all scams.

Unfortunately they're gone forever. The best you can do is to learn from your mistakes and don't fall for this kind of thing again

See it this way: you've gained a valueable life lesson (not to trust strangers). Be glad you've gained it online, where stakes are low and not IRL where things could've gone way worse.

As others have said, no.

This is going to seem harsh but understand why this is.

Account security is ALWAYS the user's responsibility. This applies to EVERY other market - even banks. If you are negligent in using your bank card, say, and your account gets money stolen, you won't get that back. If the bank are nelgigent then you will.

In your case here, you GAVE AWAY your log in details unknowingly. That's on you.

Now Valve used to, as a goodwill gesture, return items. But people tried it on and fleeced them so they don't do this anymore.

ya i get it but the thing is that i dont use gambling websites or anything bc i have always been scared of thid type of thing but it says i sold everything for .88 cents and im 16 like ive worked hard for those skins and then someone just takes them for free

[Cathulhu]

Because you gave your login credentials away on that fake website offering free stuff or to "vote for a CSGO" team or to get free Discord Nitro or whatever.

You made a mistake, a big one.
Now you have to deal with the consequences of your actions.
Part of growing up. Taking responsibility.

[76561198355685601]

Thats the thing ive never done that. Thats y i dont understand how this happened its as if someone was sitting here at my computing and listed them for sale for 88 cents each
