Valve employee on Skype

[Mando]

So i just had a problem with my phone number. I just wanted it removed from a community banned account of mine. A guy told me to ask for help to a Valve employee called "Solo"
His profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/anster
He gave me his Skype, i gave the banned profile and then he screen shared me that he has the Valve employee badge. It looked good to me. He asked me to give him a screenshot of my recent purchases on my main account(not the banned one). After that he asked me to change my mail to his. I trusted him and i changed it, then he sent me a screenshot of the account. He told me that he temporary community ban it because he found some errors. My account that he banned: https://steamcommunity.com/id/pulescu
Then he told me that he needs to validate the account and asked me to buy 50$ steam gift card.
I told him that i don't have 50$ and then he said that he will to 30$.
I refused and then he stopped responding.
He also showed me some comments on his profile from his "clients"

Its a common scam,

Do this ASAP

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)

Just because he CLAIMS that is his account doesn't actually mean its his account. Its a scam, steam staff will not talk with you on Skype nor will they ever ask you to buy steam giftcards

My question is how did he got my account community banned in 5 minutes. IT WAS NOT COMMUNITY BANNED.

Another one fell for the wallet inspector level of scam

What do you mean wallet inspector? Inspect element?

You literally said your account was already community banned, and you were trying to remove the phone number from it. Either way its 100% a scam

Before i gave him access to my account, the account wasn't community banned and after 2 minutes he sent me this https://imgur.com/a/YLA9EO0

Steam employees will never contact you outside of the Steam Support portal. You gave the scammer access to your account, and he likely performed some action (such as scamming others, including your friends) on your account that caused Valve to apply a community ban to it.

After securing your computer with the steps above, you'll need to contact Steam Support through the below link. This is the only way that you can contact Steam Support.

Does steam support will be able to lift the community ban tho?
I already contacted like 2 hours ago.

Most likely but they will ask for proofs of ownership
