ONLY PLAYING FACEIT, GOT VAC BANNED. WTF???

[S1mPLE]

I actually cant believe this, first time i got banned and i never cheated tho i was red trust factor for some reason, for that i almost never played mm as its unplayable (always vs cheaters), so moved to faceit and played there for almost a year. THEN i got VAC out of nowhere. please help me revive my +5 year account

VAC detected a known cheat and a permanent ban was issued.

Bans can also be given for skin changers, phone number sharing, library sharing, account sharing or changing core files of the game.

Bans that have been issued incorrectly, are usually being removed automatically within few days to weeks.

Trust Factor has nothing to do with VAC.

You still have your account.

bro i didnt ever cheat, recently added my phone number to steam guard at this account and maybe the phone number used to be linked with another old account i dont remember. i that for real a reason to give vac ban? i barely play on vac secured servers

[VaLiuM]

Yup, as i wrote, phone number sharing can also lead to bans across all accounts linked to the same phone number at the time of infraction.

There is a clear warning every time a new account is added to the same phone number what will happen in case of cheating.

Don't hijack other threads, ban is permanent.

[S1mPLE]

Valium i dont think you understand as you keep saying "in the case of cheating". WHAT CHEATING? i have NEVER cheated. all am i saying is that if the ban was due to my phone number being linked to more that 1 steam account.

[VaLiuM]

Another account linked to the same phone number cheated and got your account banned too. It's not that difficult to understand.

[S1mPLE]

its not too difficult to understand the the other account is INACTIVE. thats why i am asking that. the other account hasnt been logged into in years

You wrote yourself:

That is the issue right there.

Then you need to find out which account it was.

[S1mPLE]

Well this conversation isnt going anywhere. The situation is easy - I got a VAC ban on my account that i linked my phone number to not long ago, this phone number is connected to another old inactive account and now i have nothing. That's all. If you cant help, dont.

[VaLiuM]

Indeed it isn't, we are going in circles. This is a user forum, no one here can investigate or remove a ban, only provide official information. If that doesn't help, then the thread is pointless.
