Steam Account Ban OUT OF NOWHERE!?
7 years ago
ジャーナルヘッダの術! ...I'm fucking depressed.
Out of nowhere, I get approached by a random Steam user - simply named theGameWizerd - who's part of the Steam Community Fraud Prevention. He claimed that someone put a ticket on me saying that I had duplicated items. And the items in question were pretty much all my Strange or Unusual items in TF2. I checked the guy who approached me, and he's legit, so I followed his orders to make sure everything can be verified. The only problem was that two other Strange items just got uncrated and couldn't be traded till after the 6th and 8th of August. He even said he'd be okay with that.
I followed every precaution, set my Inventory to Public status and even gave numerous links and such (i.e trade URLs, verification codes from the trades).
And then, without warning... All my Steam windows go grey. And I tried three times getting back in, being utterly careful with my password as always. It's gone. Fucking everything.
I've invested dollars into fucking Steam (majority being for TF2). I've played countless hours into my games. I've made numerous friends online.
And poof.
All gone.
Without warning.
I haven't even bothered getting in touch with Steam support; I'm already shook-up as it is. Though I doubt they would be able to help. I'm just... I'm just distraught. Emotionally shot. I look all right on the outside, but inside, I'm a fucking mess.
That... Wasn't fair at all.
I've been one of the fairest traders ever! I've followed procedures accordingly! And now this...
Y'know what the shittiest part is? I had all those friends, and if I had known shit like this was gonna go down, I would've looked up all my friends one last time. Now I can't even remember a lot of them except by real names or something. And they'll probably be looking for me, too. This just sucks on so many levels.

I've been bullied on there before. I've been scammed in a trade before. And now this. Without warning.
Why me?

FA+

But that makes it more fun to be bad. >:3
Well as pissed as I am and have know idea what to feel or do, I can never bring myself to lower myself to his level.
Thank you, Layla. And if you see any messages pop up from me on Steam, it ain't me. Just a heads-up.
