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.

If you suspect someone is attempting to scam you check this guide but remember to be careful even if you do not find the answer you are looking for there.

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.

"If you want to make it up to me send me feet pics" is my defacto response to scammers on steam/discord.

Judging by key words in your post it seems you are asking if something is a new scam.

Most of the time this will not be a new scam as most of the scams are repeated due to their effectiveness.

If you find yourself wondering if something is a scam then 90% of the time it is and it is best not to follow through. Read this post for further information if you need it.

This is the Discord “accidental report” Steam account takeover scam.

Don’t reply, don’t add their “Steam admin/support”, and report/block the sender. If you already did: change your Steam password and reset Steam Guard.

They use the illegal-purchase claim, the “mass-report” pressure, and an off-platform “appeal” to rush you into handing over a login or Steam Guard code.

Treat it as an account theft attempt and disengage.
