My account got hijacked and steam support page not loading
All of my TF2 items were stolen because someone used a phishing website to get my info, and when I go to the steam page for "Items Traded Without Your Knowledge" it either doesn't load or i get an error. Please help.

On some day you had got fooled/tricked by scammers so to given away your steam account credentials on some fake and/or phishing website/link literally, so even the QR and/or SteamGuard codes got cloned for them and/or simply becoming bypassed ..

So, if you logged in into a scam/phishing site, you gave away all of your Steam Account credentials and login informations. A bot creates and places an API-key into your Steam account and therefore get semi-full access to it. This API-key grants remote access for developers or in your case for the scammer & hijacker.

Hundreds and thousands of Steam Accounts become hijacked like this on a DAILY BASIS, cuz of greed .. using account credentials and security measures without a brain ..

Your hijacked items are lost..!

Here, work through that list if you havent yet:
