I did an oopsie(thank you for your suggestions y'all ♥)

[kordeli]

So i did a VERY big oopsie about an hour ago. Earlier today i was sent a free nitro ad message from an old "friend". When i first looked at it , i was like , there's no way its real. I clicked on the link and the site that i got in looked pretty legit (it also said protected site https). So me being the biggest dumbass on the internet submitted my steam id and was happily waiting for my FREE NITRO. little did i know a couple seconds after that i got an email from google saying that my steam changed without my perm , and so did my email for my steam account. long story short , i am now logged in on my alt steam acc. If you take a look at my friendlist my lost acc is still there named성문수 . I lost all access to that account (email changed , password , my phone number got taken down etc etc) and i was wondering if theres any miraculous way that i can get it back. Ive spent a bunch of money on that account and have spent thousands of hours in games and i would be pretty sad to lose all that. anyway thats all there is to it. Please respond if you have any suggestions , dont bother telling me im stupid down in the comments. i know that already ♥

Follow this article and contact Steam Support.

After you get your account back, you will want to secure it. This article should help you.

Edit: You should also report your friend's account too, it's certainly compromised.

The S in https only means the data between you and them is encrypted it doesn't mean a site can be trusted

Will have a link to the Self locking tool in the email notifying you of changes to your account.

DO NOT be signed in on any account when you do recovery

When you have it secure do all of these just to be sure the hijacked is OUT

Scan for Malware/virus https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/
Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Change your Account password on a secure device, mobile phone for example.
Generate new back up codes https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey


If you insist on using third party sites do it the safe way

1. Open Web browser
2. Login on Steams Official page
3. Visit Third party site
4. Look for and use the one click login button
5. If 4 doesn't work and you're asked for you username, password and Guard code your on a phishing site. LEAVE and DO NOT use again

Can also use sites like scamadviser.com to check how trustworthy a site is before using it. Works for any site not just Steam related. Use it whenever entering login credentials or
banking data


EDIT: have to say I just noticed another thread with the same title and almost a word for word OT that was made 10 minutes or so before this one

Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply <3. I posted the same thread on the account that was supposed to be mine but steam told that it couldnt be posted cuz that account isnt fully activated and stuff (didnt fully read). I've actually just sent a support ticket to steam and im waiting for their response , if that doesnt work im definitely going to check the way you suggested. Again thank you <3

This is the best "Hey guys I was scammed/hacked" post I've ever seen. You 100% own up to your mistake. You recognize it's your problem and not Valve's. Then you politely ask for advice on what to do. No denial. No accusing others. Just "Hey, I screwed up. How do I fix it?"

Follow Supafly's guide. It's good advice that's been copy-pasted hundreds of times for similar issues. I sincerely hope you get your account back.

Alot of these scams work because people misunderstand URLs. A site being "secured" only applies to the data that is exchanged between you and the url not that it is a safe website.

[Ocsabat]

Always assume that anything "free" on the internet is a scam and should be avoided.

A bit of a heads-up for the situation. I just got my account back. I wanna thank everyone that helped and most importantly the steam team. I love you all ❤❤
