I just got scammed by 3 accounts and using bitskins (DON'T USE THAT SITE) I was contacted by a guy saying he wanted to buy my skins by me putting them up on bitskins so I was like fine he can buy them thats a fair site I put them up and it never loaded and they were never put up on the site (I checked the bot Id and it seemed fine). Then another guy was like do you have an alt bc this guy shammed me (i was aware he could be part of the scam) but i was like it couldn't hurt to put them on my alt I haven't used in months. I put them in the trade to my account and trade it and never got it in my inventory I look on the account IT AN EXACT REPLICA OF MY ACCOUNT how'd they know that was my account and the one I was going to trade to. Then I looked at the inventory it had my knifes I was putting up on bitskins and my knife I trade to my "other account"
Plz help me get them back Im happy to provide any information that could help.

The account is Green Night {LINK REMOVED}
and the one who scamed me is Alez with a pubg profile pic

You can use the report feature available on their profiles

Report them via their profile page, include all information you can. Hopefuly you have learnt not to trust random people who add for trade then want you to use a third party, whether thats a site or a person.

scammed items are not returned.
deauthorize all other devices
change passwords from a clean computer
scan for malware

stop visiting 3rd party scam sites, you are less likely to have these problems

Sure you can do something about it. Don't click on links you get from a total stranger who clearly has not your best interest in mind.

not as cut and dry as that, some people are just susceptible til they've been scammed once, or even a few times. they trust in everyone and don't think people are out to get/take advantage of them.

Why trust someone you don't know?
Didn't your parents tell you not to take candy from strangers?
The same with the internet, strangers that act like they give you an advantage are rarely actually nice guys.

Dont click links outside of steam itself and only trade through steam. You might also want to

1. un-connect all devices from your steam account phone tablet ect.
2. run anti virus detection (windows defender ect) on your devices.
3. change all your passwords and re authorize your mobil account if you want.

You can report them by clicking the more icon and then hitting the report or flag button. Try and provide screen shots and other evidence if possible as it will most likely increas your chance of banning them or at the least stacking evidence agains them.
