You have received too many complaints about your account, your Dota 2 items will be removed from your account and your account will be blocked.

Help!!

I have received a message

I do not understand why they will delete my items, I usually play Dota 2, and today I got this message.

Help!!!!

[Spawn of Totoro]

That sounds like a scam. Valve wouldn't block an account based on complaints/reports and they wouldn't remove the items.

Where did you get this message? Did someone send it to you?

[Wolf Knight]

its a scam. were did you get this message you are seeing?

[DarkCrystalMethod]

Report and block whomever sent that message to you. Most likely its not from Valve/steam.

[Ettanin]

That's a scam. BLOCK and REPORT the contact that told you this.

If you clicked on a link and/or entered/gave away login data, perform the following:

Account Security Recommendations:

NEVER follow instructions to speak with someone claiming to represent Steam Support through Discord or any other chat system, even if they come from a friend's account.

There's no such thing as a false report that you as an account owner need to take steps to solve. This is a scam

If you were contacted through Steam: How to Report a Scammer, Hijacker or Phisher

If the contact comes from a friend's account, consider report it as "Their account seems to have been compromised", as most likely they fell for the scam and now their account is being used to spread it

If you were messaged through Discord, you can also report them:

Isn't it odd that it's the items (tradable stuff) that are at risk and not the, let's say, rank? Or any passes/other stuff-money-spent-on?
Isn't it odd how Valve's own VAC doesn't touch the items at all, while this alleged pending ban does?
So many red flags, so little time...

[DC-GS]

Looking at the 3 websites you actively advertised.
Yep, one of them planted a bug in your account (api key).

This is True or False???

Phishing mail.

Important events such as these are usually accompanied by an account alert IN THE STEAM CLIENT.

The Message

Account:Alt******
Email:elm****** ( that person knew my email with which I have linked my account )
Ticket:SS-GGR3-BBW3-P1W3
We inform you that you have violated the terms of the license agreement.
IMPORTANT:Any items that will be sent as an in-game Dota 2 gift will be permanently blocked. You can send all items as a trade offer.
Your DotA 2 items will be deleted from this account in order to save them to full restrictions.
You need to trade all your items to your second account or to a friend you can trust.
Steam does not return items to avoid duplication.
Such copying leads to a decrease in the value of all items due to an increase in their quantity in the economy and, as a result, to financial losses for everyone who trade items or uses the Steam trading platform. Valve Corporation (c)


Help!!
Is True or False??

This message

Your DotA 2 items will be deleted from this account in order to save them to full restrictions
You need to trade all your items to your second account or to a friend you can trust
To send an offer from a friend's profile:
Open Steam (either the client or via the web)
Hover over your persona name at the top
Click on Friends
Click on the friend you'd like to send a trade offer to
Click "..." button
Click on Offer a Trade
Click and drag the items you wish to trade from both inventories into the trade boxes
Check the box to confirm the trade contents
Click on Make Offer.

You'll then need to confirm the trade offer. If you're using a Mobile Authenticator through the Steam Mobile App on your smartphone

[Spawn of Totoro]

That is totally a scam. They are trying to get your items.

[AltitudeChero ™]

And they also changed my Nick from steam to
Community Ban

Help!

SS-GGR3-BBW3-P1W3:
Complaints went to your Steam account, not your Dota account
Soon you will receive a red sign about the blocking of your game of Dota 2, as well as all items irrevocably and cannot be restored. You will have the opportunity to appeal for the removal of the red plaque, but your items cannot be recovered, so I highly recommend sending to your friend's account or to your second account, carefully check the account where you are sending items.
