VAC bans are only issued for the detection of a known cheat. The only way VAC can transfer to other account is if you were family sharing or had the same number linked on both accounts at the time the cheat was detected.

Steam Support can not do anything about VAC bans.

VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support.

Account sharing is not allowed and it is grounds to have all account involved terminated.

VAC bans are delayed from time of detection to the time the ban is actually applied.

What you were doing when the ban was applied is irrelevant.

NO! READ THE DAMNED INFORMATION PROVIDED.

Go back in time and don't do the things that earned the VAC ban.

No. Any arguments or excuses you could make would have already been exploited to oblivion by everyone just looking to get out of a ban.

Again, understanding the system you're using would remove any delusions about reversing permanent bans the account has earned.

The problem is the phone number.In other accounts i put not the same phone number but i didnt cheat so i put this phone number and get banned for the phone number i swear to god that i didnt use any cheats.I send steam support maybe they will remove it

Your fault. Not understanding the system and doing things you shouldn't be doing is nobodies fault but your own.


VAC bans are permanent.

all VAC bans come from the detection of a known cheat, whether it is used on the account itself or some sort of sharing has occurred (account, library or phone number).

Users are responsible for the security of the account and all that happens on it

You were warned every single time you added a phone number to an account.

steam support has nothing to do with game nor vac bans. you can stop posting, the ban is permanent and nothing you post is getting it removed.

the only vac bans that get removed are the ones that are falsely applied. falsely applied means vac misidentified a process as a cheat. if vac detected a cheat, the ban is correctly applied and permanent, any and all accounts with the same phone number at the time of the cheat being detected get banned at the same time, no if's, and's, or but's.

The amount you have spent means nothing and everyone is treated fairly as it's an automated system in place to deal with cheaters.

Because, cheaters, that's why...

Its not wrong. Your 'brother' or whoever you thought using your phone number was cool is the one in the wrong

Stop blaming everyone else and blame your 'brother'. They got you banned. No one else. They're a cheater and a liar. Go blame them.

Steam support has nothing to do with VAC ban, they can NOT removed them or provide you any info on the ban.
