your account is compromised
DO NOT TRADE
If you have access to the account

Steps to take NOW:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)


Please review how you are logging into Steam, you somehow gave them your log in information. This could of been due to the computer being compromised and redirecting to a fake login, or you using a 3rd party site to login to steam.

Once you are sure you have regained control, you can start trading again. Please triple check any trades you make to be sure they are going to the correct account.

After you have secured the account, please edit your profile back to normal (if it was altered by the hijacker/scammer)

Steam support does not post messages on your profile, they don't give out warnings about pending bans, they dont give time to move stuff, they wont tell you to move stuff. Someone has enough access to the account to make changes to the profile. If you try to move any items, the trade will get cancelled and a new one created sending the items to the scammers accounts.

They do not change your name/avatar unless it violates the rules (advertising, inappropriate language,etc). Such a change would only reset it to the default settings (your steam ID for the name, the default ? avatar for the avatar). This would include an account alert that you have to click a box that says "I have read this"

He isn't joking. Secure the account before your other items become trade worthy.

no one on steam would do that.

so how many third party sites have you login in to ?

thats not a try, that is how you secure the account. the items are gone.

if the account was stolen, do what I posted in the other thread

accounts dont get hacked, they get hijacked because the account owner somehow gave away their log in information. you have to sort out how you did that.

You gave out your account info bro. It's the only way steam accounts get "hacked"

Steam has already put things in place to protect your account.

You gave your information away. Nothing Steam can do about that..

they do protect their users. what they cant prevent is a user giving away their accounts log in. there is nothing any company can do to stop that. if this is your attitude, you should stay off the internet completely and avoid having any kind of online accounts, that is the only way your going to protect yourself from having your accounts compromised or stolen.

that you are aware of. the people that steal and/or hijack accounts know how to get you to hand over your log in information without you realizing it till its too late.

Aside from giving your account info to scammers.
