100% a scam, Steam do not have a Discord contact person

It is a scam. It is not uncommon for random people to friend you on steam and try similar tactics as well.

I fell for it, (logo vote) I managed to change the password and also that email, I contacted Steam who confirmed it, notified friends, and now I'm scanning the PC. What could I do from your experience? Thank you very much.

If you just got a message about it that's all they are going to do.

You see, they do this where they just tell people some ridiculous lie and hope the other person believes it.
They don't have anything on your PC. They haven't gotten your account information. They have nothing on you. Just an empty threat.

[alegiuvado[ita]]

empty threat as they are, thank you very much

I had that too.
I lost cash, because of that RickJohnson.
He threatened me if i don't pay him, he won't give my account back (and no refund).
Of course i need to inform police about that.

Stay away from him, do NOT respond to HIM.
