Escrow Bot : Scam?

[Ray-Ray]

I was sent a link to me by a person named "Anomaly Prize Bot 1" stating that I had randomly been chosen for a karambit knife prize and to click the link below and respond with the code given to me. Being the skin thirsty player I am, I clicked it and my phone lit up stating that I have confirmations to make involving my account. There was a trade from someone named "Escrow Bot" with a steam logo as its profile picture. The trade involves me giving away my whole inventory as a gift so I canceled it. Then a message kept popping up every time I open steam saying "your account has been locked due to suspicious activity and to ensure protection, confirm the trade with Escrow bot".
• For anyone who did the same thing, and I hope u researched Eacrow bot before you confirmed the trade, don't trade anything. To fix the message that's popping up, go to your task manager and close any unfamiliar apps that has appeared. And to prove that the message is fake, you should still be able to play your games and access CSGO market from the game. Also, if you did download anything from the message, delete it and run a malware detector app since it may have been a virus.

Yes, it's a scam. You downloaded malware which automatically sent a trade from your Steam account and now it's trying to trick you into confirming the trade.

Why don't people ask FIRST? Why are they this dumb?

An intelligent response from start to finish. A rare thing on these boards. Good job OP.

Wow people actually read this post pretty quickly. But yeah I already scanned my computer and deleted anything that was suspicious. I already thought about the consequences before clicking the link and since I had a decent malware detector, I thought it would be fine so yeah...
Btw- Anyone that read this post, I'm not trying to offend or destroy Anomaly's reputation in anyway since I said "Anomaly Prize Bot1" this bot was definitely just some scammer who's trying to scam someone using his name.

So, you let yourself get shot because you had a "bulletproof" vest?

Marketing, and their depiction in movies of course.
