Discord Ban Scam (I've mistakenly reported your steam account)
"I got baited into this last night, didn't think much of it and blindly followed their instructions, i got sceptical though after they started send screen shots of things that didn't make sense. Unfortunately i lost stuff in he process but recovered my account and went ham on changing all my passwords, and authentication processes etc. changed other passwords to bank details and other personal data. I felt stupid after the fact. Because in the back of my mind i knew they were just scamming me. Spent about 4 hours last night just messing with the scammer because i needed to get something out of it, even if it was just humour. Don't buy the gift cards they send you links to and send them the code Don't trade with them Don't give them personal details or passwords to your steam or anything else for that matter. A discord user form a mutual server will contact you saying they accidentally reported your account, this is not the case they haven't and it's a scam. They will get you to contact a friend that is a valve employee ( they are not a Valve Employee) once you have contacted the second user, this user will tell you that there are glitch purchases on you account and in order to remove the ban you must buy steam wallet gift cards and send them the code to validate the glitch purchases... THERE A NO GLITCH PURCHASES (remember that) If you don't believe their credibility they will send you a authenticity of account screenshot (note these are fake) they will also send a link to a valve employee account on steam (note that at this stage they are lying to you aswell)
Don't trust the internet Kids Pending bans don't exist on steam If steam was going to ban you, It's is an immediate thing and should consider your account lost at that point."
This is similar to what happened to me :( i'm glad i shared nothing but still wtf man
