I was talking to Lawrence page a guy from steam about an investigation

[General L O C U S]

Yesterday I got a message from Lawrence page about the fact I was in the middle of a item theft, the way he had full control of my account and I didn't get notified someone tried to login to my account is all so strange. He also send messages that had full color and and boxes I didn't know were even possible. Everyone was blocked and my account was being 'investigated'. Had to trade items to a friend but steam didn't work, I was under his full control it looked soooo legit, I was even in a call with 2 friends who also bought it, 1 was even a computer guy so he would've seen a scam. The next day I wake up, my items traded to another person. The offers I made to my friend for the investigation failed, but without my notice to 'accept' an offer it made the offer so actually I didn't trade them. When I wannet to report the account who has my items it said that I already reported him, but I didn't. I wanna shed light to this type of scam that it is really hard to see it as a scam, just really trust me on this one, I even searched for the 'cool chat tricks' but nothing. I will leave the link of the account with my items; https://steamcommunity.com/id/kimgolovanov613 so you can see for yourself and maybe report him for me because I can't anymore, I rather have my skins stuck in vac than in that persons hands.

Hijacked, not hacked. You leaked your account credentials somehow.

Do not trade until your account is secured.

Take the following steps to secure your account:

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 clean computer.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key (there should be no key). https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Steam does not return inventory items or wallet funds: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3415-WAFH-6433#noreturn [/quote]

If you no longer have access to your account, read this:

Here's a few additional words on what happened:

At some point in the past, you have logged into a malicious website with your Steam login. This site has placed a bot into your account, which was there, sitting, waiting, for you to create a very valuable trade.
Then it canceled the trade, made an account owned by the thief take the name and avatar of your friend, and sent the trade to this one.
This is the trade, you confirmed on your phone. You could have spotted it by the warnings, that the person has recently changed their name and is not a friend of yours.

The steps listed up there are a way to clean out the bot from your account. Do ALL of them.

In the future, do not do Steam logins on other websites. Instead do a browser login on the website of Steam (store.steampowered - bookmark it to avoid copycats). Every website, that needs a Steam login, will recognise this and allow you to confirm your account.
If it still asks for your name and password, it is not a real Steam login.

I suggest you read the Scam FAQ https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/70E6-991B-233B-A37B

Also please remove the profile link.
Criminals never use their own profiles (why would they pay 5 Dollar to unlock it, when they can get hundreds for free by stealing them). Those accounts are used for a couple of days and then discarded.
However, if the original owner ever gets it back, your link in this thread will keep haunting them.

And about the "report him for me" part - reports are checked manually, so third-party reports are useless and will be discarded. Mass-reports on a profile may even lead to legitimate reports being drowned in the mass.
You may want to keep this piece in mind as well, if anyone ever claims to have "accidentially reported" you (another very popular scam scheme).

So yeah, please remove the link, before a forum mod has to do it.
