(Vent) I Have Lost My Steam Account
2 years ago
General
Hello everyone! This is Parker.
Damingo_Flamingo mistakingly reported my account to the Steam staff for purchase fraud/scamming. Once he realized his mistake, he had me contact a member of the Steam Support Team to prove my innocence. I tried everything I could to prove my innocence and I even had my parents help me out. Despite all my best efforts, I couldn't gather enough proof in time and now my Steam will be automatically deleted. I have officially lost everything on Steam, including VRChat. I literally don't know what to do next. Should I all start all over again and create a new Steam account and a new VRChat account too? Because I play as my fursona on VRChat. And to top it all off, should I create a new Unity account? Please tell me what I should do because I am experiencing one of the worst days of my entire life. Damingo_Flamingo, if you're reading this, I would like to let you know that this is all of your fault. We are no longer friends and I am now BLOCKING you from this day forward, so thanks for nothing!Update: my friends have told me that I got scammed and my account was never gone all along; it was stolen. My account is still there (https://steamcommunity.com/id/eccentriccreature34), but its level, friend list, etc. are all missing.

I’m sorry that happened…
What the scammer does is that, he holds other accounts, scams your friends and then they use the friends list to then target others
You friend isn’t at fault, they were also scammed.
go to the real steam page and report the incident ASAP
Make sure to also find emails of your steam receipts to further add proof that you own the account so that they’ll get your acc back.
They say that someone is inpersonating as you and "accidently" reported you instand of the guy they intent to
And to proof that your innocent you need to send over a requested item (for me they requested my australium...a rare item which can get alot when sold)
They even sended me a fake gif that i had a ban pending to put on presure
I told them to back off
My steam account wasnt banned
And the hacker didnt really try afterward
You're blaming the wrong person. Damingo_Flamingo's Steam Account was already compromised itself, he didn't "accidentally report" you at all, it was the scammer using his account to tell you lies.
Also if they told you to add a "Steam Staff member" to your friends list and DM them your e-mail and password, DON'T! It is NOT a Staff Member! Steam Staff NEVER contacts you in the Steam App's DMs!
The best you can do is file a ticket to the real Steam Support and they will try to recover your account within 48 hours.
