Someone trying to scam me?

[Mel0~]

Hi guys this is urgent. Someone on discord messaged me and he is claiming that he accidentally reported my steam account. And he told me to add a certain steam account named Jiffy and he claims that "Jiffy" is a valve employee (upon checking Jiffy's steam account he has a valve employee badge) what is this about? Anyone please help me. I'm not entirely sure that this is a scam

It is a scam, yes.

And now al has added new info to his profile info at the top of his profile...

Valve employees will not attempt to contact you via Discord.

Of course is it a scam attempt. Just block him and ignore whatever he's claiming.

"Someone on discord...." is already enough. 100%, always, without a doubt, a scam.

I can't believe people still have to ask.

Common knowledge is on any site; Admins/Staff/Employees do not contact people outside of the site/service itself, and often do not contact people directly at all.

Anyone wanting your password, purchase history, to "verify your items" by giving it to them to "inspect", claiming your account will be suspended/banned if you don't do (thing) is always a scam

There is no such thing as "accidentally reporting" either, nor does a report against your account do anything if a Steam Employee looks into your account and finds nothing wrong.

Always use the search before asking a question.

Specifically...

• NEVER follow instructions to speak with someone claiming to represent Steam Support through Discord or any other chat system, even if they come from a friend's account.
  
• There's no such thing as a false report that you as an account owner need to take steps to solve. This is a scam.

Yes but it is not an employee who contacted me directly. it was a random person and he sent a steam profile with a valve employee badge. That's what puzzled me. Because i believe to have that badge means you are a legit valve employee. That's why I asked

Let me guess, they then told you this Valve dude got their Steam friends list full but that dude on Discord totes is the same Valve dude?
BTW, please post a link to that Jiffy profile. I'd like to check myself.

That's the point, they never would do the above.
Anyone can link you to anything. Much like how people can send you a youtube video, people can send a link saying to "Add them" or otherwise in attempt to look more legitimate for what they want you to do.

If anyone wants you to do anything with your account that could compromise the status of your account, or makes claims of your account; report the account messaging you to the proper service. Any Discord account trying to scam you, report to discord. Any Steam account trying to scam you, report to Steam.

That is a real Steam employee. The scammers on Discord are just impersonating this Valve member. Just because someone links someone real doesn't mean they are them.

Valve staff do not operate on Discord or anywhere else. Steam Support are the only Valve appointed staff who deal with users and this is done within the Steam client only.

Everything on Discord is a scam.

Well, were you told to contact THIS profile, or something else? I bet something else.
