Try to use your brain, it may hurt at first but only because it's brand new...

I have no reason to believe that is legit, what else are they saying to you?

Does this show any entries? If so then your account is compromised and being used by others, that could be a cause for the warning.

Of course, an important aspect here is where that warning is being shown. You say "Steam assistant", what the heck is that supposed to be? Be a little more specific, does any warning show in the Steam client or while visiting the Steam website?

The part of his post that he deleted, "We allowed you to send value skins to a friend or a storage account within 24 hours." was a huge tip off.

That means your account is already compromised. Delete the API key and secure your account immediately.

You really need to leave the game you're playing and focus on securing your account...

Yah, the thread is a bit hard to read for me because several posts, including your previous one, are still shown as being filtered by the system on my end.

A friend just got the same message but it appears in the description of his Steam account, his inventory is still public

It's always a scam, just ignore it

Edit: and tell the friend to ignore it obviously
