Do you experience any abnormality on your account, like your friends & games disappeared, name changed into numbers, etc.? If not then you can just block them all in steam and discord.

Pro tip: deactivate 'accept DM from member in the server'.

DO NOT TRUST ANYONE!!!

Always always always assume that EVERYBODY wants your money... (which is the truth)

Name and shame isn't allowed here. Doing so could result in a ban. If someone is scamming on Discord, then report it to Discord. There is absolutely nothing Steam can do about issues happening outside their IP.

For tips on securing your account, see the below link.

It's great that you finally noticed this was a scam, but why did you send an email to an obviously fake address? Seriously, ask yourself, why would Valve need to conduct business from a gmail address?

Still, if you want to be doubly sure your account is safe, it won't hurt to do the following:

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)
7. Make sure your steam recovery email account is secure

we talk in steam

You didn't say anything about talking in Steam. You said...

someone text me in Discord

Regardless. If they have messaged you on Steam, then report them. You cannot use the forums to name and shame anyone.

Brother, what is the problem with saying names? First, I wanted to share my problem with you because I do not have experience in this field. Second, to ask for your support and take advice from you. Three, so that no one else falls into fraud and protects himself. Accept my visit.

I'm not your "brother". I have no idea who you are.

As for saying the name, I told you. It's because it's violates Steam policies which you agreed to. You may wish to review these policies again.

It's extremely likely the scammer is using a fake name and that name could be the name of a completely innocent person which is why you should never name them. Always report and move on. Let the moderators handle it.

If you wish to continue violating the policies you agreed to, then that's on you. Just be aware that there will be consequences as a result.

Okay thanks for your advice

do all the steps in post 7. Always remember, steam support or anyone from valve, will not contact you through discord or use a gmail account. Like previous people stated, naming and shaming is against steam rules, for all we know, the account might as well be compromised, so report, block and move on.

Yes i understand you want to make people aware of the "scam" and the people involved. But keep in mind, by the time someone gets scammed, like yourself, it is already to late.

Is it "naming and shaming" when they're just saying the fake name that the scammers use in lots of scams? This isn't a real user, any more than that "Steam fraud officer" (whatever name they use for that one) in the other scams is.
