Got scammed into giving away my Steam account, so had to change my Minecraft skin from the one from my steam profile picture because that skin is now attached to my old steam account. :/ RIP (I like that profile picture, so I'll keep if for now because I made it, they stole my art and account! But, for now, I'll use a different Minecraft skin until I get this issue resolved, so I'm not reminded of my mistake every time I play Minecraft.)

Don't fall for this scam! They'll message you on discord saying they accidentally reported your account, and if you follow their steps it will transfer your account to them and then they'll use your old account to scam others. :_(

*link*

2:23 PM]DirtHutCaver:

Why do you ask? (edited)

[2:24 PM]DirtHutCaver:

Or, why do you want to know?

[2:25 PM]ggbro:

oh i message you because i accidentally reported you for doing illegal purchases instead of someone else, the support said that your account will be suspended. im really sorry i tried to tell him that it was a mistake profile id but he wont listen to me

[2:25 PM]DirtHutCaver:

Wait, what?! (edited)
At this point, my heart rate went up, and I stopped thinking straight. If you get a message like this, take a step back and calm down. Breathe in, breathe out. You'll be fine as long as you don't freak out.

[2:26 PM]DirtHutCaver:

I haven't gotten any emails about it, tho.At this point, I should've ignored this person, looking back it's an obvious scam. But, I wasn't thinking straight. (Like I said, stay calm, they're just bluffing at this point. They're trying to scare you into making you think you'll be blamed for something you didn't do, and make you freak out.)

[2:26 PM]ggbro:

im not joking mate if you will not help to explain to him your account will be permanently suspended on steam that's why i contacted you im really sorry i didn't mean to report you bro can you please help me on explaining to him?

[2:27 PM]DirtHutCaver:

Who is him?

[2:28 PM]ggbro:

i filed a ticket on steam support and they replied me this it indicates that you need to contact him through discord to explain your side

2:28 PM]DirtHutCaver:

Alright.

[2:29 PM]ggbro:

you can contact him via discord and tell him that the report made to you is just a mistake please: KellyT#3901

[2:30 PM]DirtHutCaver:

How do I message someone I'm not friends with?

[2:30 PM]ggbro:

add him first

[2:30 PM]ggbro:

KellyT#3901
I did the dumb thing and followed all of the steps given by KellyT#3901, thinking them to be from Steam Support.
After they took my account, they wanted money. I didn't give it to them, so they said they'd 'delete my account'... Well, they didn't delete it they just stole it. -_-

[3:05 PM]DirtHutCaver:

This is extremely confusing. -_-
If you get messaged by someone you do NOT know, don't listen to them. They're a stranger, and likely a scammer. And do not listen to instructions from someone claiming to be some kind of tech support. (Looking back, I was really dumb. :/)
Also, don't click on links that might be sus.
