Secure your account NOW!

Report the account that received your items.

[Skiff]

Is there any chance to get my stuffs back?

[nullable]

No. The scammer isn't going to return the items. And Valve doesn't reverse trades or duplicate items. See: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9958-MJDG-3003 Item Restoration Policy.

You're probably gonna want to read over the various security and trading policies in the support section so you can proceed safely in the future.

In the future you should stop logging into 3rd party websites using your Steam account, that's most likely the cause of your current problems. You logged into a website thinking it was Steam, but in reality you gave your login details away after which the bad guys took over.

Maybe, thats the case. I only visited to GOSKINS, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥S.

"only" visiting even one of those sites is sadly the reason - all it takes is one.

I have to commend you for admitting that. Very few here are capable of doing so and would instead place blame on someone else than taking it as a lesson-learned.

You've done more than most. Ofttimes many wioll argue til they're blue in the face that they absolutely did not go to such sites. Whether they're lying to weirdly save face or something, or whether they just can't remember is moot.

The fact that you are open and admit your mistake means you will learn from this.

You can actually see how this scam works easily. If you go to ANY third party site (and note ALL of them are scammers) it will ask you to log into steam. That's the key. You aren't logging in at all, you're just handing over your login details.

The way to see the scam easily is to log into steam via a browser FIRST, then visit such a site while logged in and it will STILL ask you - that demonstrates it's a scam right up front.


So for the future, now you know never to trade outside of Steam and don't visit sites or links that anyone sends you.
