HELP Steam support scam???
I just got randomly messaged by steam support and i mean I get alot of scammers trying to get my items. BUT this time was different I look at my account and everything was changed! Friends blocked, showcases removed, and even my description changed to my SteamID. What was more scary was that he had my emails of my steam and paypal account, even my phone number. I immediately changed my password and removed access to all devices. I scanned my files using windows security and no malware. Im freaking out right now cause I dont know if im safe :( . Any help would be appreciated please

You 100% clicked a link through a friend or your web browser had a virus of some kind. This doesnt just happen. Usually people click a link of some kind or you allowed access through a browser to link your steam account.
