Where FAQ by Steam.

Did you login on any websites that the scammer gave you a link to? If yes, go change your password ASAP do not wait, scammer will steal your account when not expecting.
Did you download, and & run/install anything provided by the scammer? If yes you need to scan system asap, or do full system wipe, then reinstall your OS.
I didn't login or download anything! The profile is already reported on Discord! I got my steam account fully back from them.
I sent screenshots of the back of the gift card. Literally so dumb of me but I was panicking.
Pro tips:
- No support will ever contact you ever unless you contacted them for issues in the first place.
- Any messages from discord, twitter, facebook, or etc are scammers if they claim to be support/admin as they have no reason to ever contact you in the 1st place.
- Don't login via websites you don't know, there lots of scam sites that make fake login pages, they make up stories like vote for my team, you have pending ban, you won a prize, whatever story may be, as shouldn't login via scam sites.
Here a trick scammers do on their scam sites that make it real as possible.

Steam has a one click login, where 3rd party can use Steam API, to see this method have to go to steam itself directly, login to steam, then head to 3rd party site, if it shows one click button like screenshot below you know it safe, but if it asking for login name, and password, then you already know it's a scam site as you already login on steam itself before visiting the 3rd party site.

When comes to your own safety, and secuity never **** around, and find out, there reason why don't do it. In this case you only made a mistake because you were unaware of this scam before, and wasn't thinking straight, so best to learn from this experience so don't repeat it again in the future.

Dota 2 price manipulation scam, I knew nothing about dota 2 items at the time
Well the question was how do people fall for it. Turns out you already know. And you weren't the last ignorant gamer on the planet...
I mean. Fair enough to fall for that, I wouldnt judge anybody for falling to the manipulation scam, because who actually knows about dota 2 items?
But come on. Who the f fails to question the fact that they are demanded to bribe a moderator to remove false report? That i don't understand
Your ignorance was justifiable. But some other flavor of similar ignorance is not? You're gonna believe what you want, but I can promise you as someone who's been interested in scams and quack medicine and all sorts of related subjects for decades, it's all ultimately the same mistake and the same human weaknesses and flaws that are exploited.
You didn't know about items, trading, and other facets of the system. But most users don't actually know that many details about account security or other games items either. They're still being manipulated same as you were, whether it be DOTA2 or CSGO, or general account security, the formula of a scam and why it works isn't as dramatically different as you might imagine.
So why do people fall for it? Same reason you did.
