Legit or am i baing a fool

[Mauryc]

Hi to whoever reads this, im currently talking with someone claimin they accidently reported my account along with their freind, i seen this happen before , they said i might be locked out of my steam account and that my ip will be blocked?

i checked steam and didnt see any notifications saying ive been reported or a tleast a warning, they said that somehow "it was imidaitly accepted" moreover they made the dc account [yes dc, they reached out to me on dc, adding to the suspicion] on may 15 2025 and no bio, they messaged me yesterday

sense i dont use steam to much but use it to play with freinds i anted to know, is this real or a scam, they even told me to use this email to reach out to steam, one they got from their ticket?

[e-mail]

i doubt anyone will read this in the time frame but if so, is it okay if i ask for you aid,

if this is real or not, and if someone responds or not, i hope whoever sees this has an amazing sunny day or a wonderful and peacfull starry night, may all your dreams be sweet like suger and the day be bright just like the sun :D

Of course its a scam attempt. And the email is fake.

I got an email from [e-mail], am I really talking to bill gates?

Also how many multi-billion dollar companies can you find using gmail addresses instead of their own domain?

That's the fascinating thing about scams is quite often facade is so flimsy it's almost seems to be done deliberately because it filters out anyone who is the least bit skeptical and all you're left with are the prime grade A marks.

this is often the middle of the scam

to be safe, do not trade and do these

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/

2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.

3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.

5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App

6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

(there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

In Discord click on the cogwheel near the lower left corner to open settings.

Click on Connections in the USER SETTINGS section.

Either unlink your Steam account from Discord or at least toggle off "Display on profile"

That will block one common way that scammers target Steam accounts.

I really hate that I've never seen any of these people on discord targeting me with scams, y'all must be hanging out in hundreds of random servers filled with people you never met or something...
