Crystal Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hello, as the title say. There is a bit of a scam going around in steam. so i like to let you know what does it look like when it does arrive. so basically your get a message from either a stranger or a friend saying they accidently reported you for illegal purchases. This is not true and you should ignore them. Basically they try encouraging you to talk to the "Steam Admin" to stop the suspension. But they is no Suspension on your account. If you do for some reason. Basically goes like this. Scammer:Good Day Scammer: How may i help you Me: Hello, I Got a message of my friend saying he accidently reported me. Scammer: Kindly state your purpose. Why you add me? Me: Because i ask my friend "Redacted"to just friend you just to talk. Scammer:Yes, I received the report according to our coordinator's review about illegal activity for Illegal Purchased. Basically there are 3 red flags. 1. Discord Profile New: Which means it was very recently made 2. "Pending Ban Request" This right here is not a thing 3. "SteamRep" Basically SteamRep is not affilrated with Steam/Value I hope this helps you when you get a message about it. Stay Safe!

Yato Sensei Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yeah I almost didn't fall for such a thing too. First of all, Steam Staff will always talk to you via Email, never on profiles. Second, profiles of Steam Employees are written in green names which no one could copy in any way. 2 Joined 09/30/2020Retired 11/12/2022Former Security SFC || Former MTF Omi9 MSGT || Former CI CPT/MAJ || Former Nu7 LTCOL/VCMDR || Former E11 CPL || Former Maintenance Professional || Former D5 CPT || Former Senior Medic || Former Advanced Researcher | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
