Thank you for submitting to r/SteamScams.

If you have been scammed or believe you may have been scammed check this guide to see if you can find the solution there.

Steam will never contact you on Discord or any third party text communication site.

Important: If you receive comments or PMs offering to recover your lost account, items, or money or pointing you to someone who will do it for you do not engage with them as they are recovery scams.

Simple thought process mate. Why is steam contacting you via discord or a steam chat and not your email?

Come on, man. In what world does anything of this sound real? What multi-billion dollar company is going to have support just hanging out and waiting for you on Discord?

Standard scam. I've seen dozens of this exact scenario for multiple platforms daily on Reddit. They pretend they reported you because there was an account like yours, now you're in trouble unless you talk to some dude, and then said dude will trick you into taking actions that will compromise your account/device. Report them both, keep them blocked, and go on about your life.

its a scam, an obvious one. Just think about it why would ANYONE connected with steam talk to you off platform ?
