Someone called themselves as Steam official on discord, is that a scam?

[ytchoco]

recently someone added me on discord and said i made a spam on them, but i only purchased one game. then they tell im getting banned if i dont do appeal. then they call me to add someone on discord. that guy told me to sent recent purchased.. things started to get weird, they want me to register a phone number to my steam acc. i rejected then they ask me to change my steam acc email to someone. I quickly leave the vc and contract the official email. is that a scam?

Scam.

Report, block, ignore.

That's a scam.

If you gave them anything:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Ensure your email address and/or password aren't contained in any public breaches:
- Email: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
- Password: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
-- If they are contained in any public breaches ("oh no, pwned!"), change your email account's password from a secure computer before proceeding.
-- If that happens, you may want to secure other accounts than just Steam.
-- Consider using mobile two-factor authentication on your e-mail address if your e-mail provider supports it.
4. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Change passwords from a clean computer
6. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
7. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
8. Change your trade link: Profile > your inventory > trade offer > Who can send me trade offer > scroll down and make a new trade link.
9. If points were stolen within 14 days, reset your Steam password (not change, RESET using Forgot Password) to cancel pending awards.
10. Once you have done all of the above steps, edit your profile to get rid of the fake message planted by the scammer (if it exists).
