Well...
I got a random Discord Friend request from someone called "Arthur.",
the account was made on the same day as the scam (04.11.2025)
I should have known better, but I did it anyway.
But in my defense, they were in a Server I was also in
This is what the Discord user told me
They asked me if I had purchased a CS2 card for a whopping 800 USD.
They also said, they and their friends, mass reported my account. This was actually somewhat believable.
This is what they send about "reporting" my account
Process of the scam
They told me to contact steam support to resolve the issue.
So... I did that, but stupidly, I used the email from the screenshot, they send me.
I was starting to panic at this point was wasn't thinking straight.
I wrote to that "Steam Support"
And they gave a request to type in a friend invite code...
I did that...
Discord "Steam Support"
They told me to go onto Discord to "resolve" the issue.
I was now panicking hard, thinking I'll lose my account.
They showed my account being banned until 2038 because of "fraudulent activity".
I figured out
Once I got am Email from a login from an IP in the Philippines, I knew I was being scammed.
But it was too late, I lost access to my account.
The scammer told me I had to pay 50% of my account value to get this back.
I refused and immediately went to Steam Support through the real website this time.
I sent a ticket and waited... and waited... for about 12 hours until they replied.
I gave them the info they needed to get my account back and another 12 hours later, I had it back.
Steam Support are real chads!
Scammer telling me to pay IN ADVANCE to get my account back
Aftermath
After I got my account back, I reset my password, and did some cleanup.
That fucker removed my Kagamine Len Steam background!
Also they blocked some of my friends, added random people and tried to scam them too!
I reinstated my username, profile picture and Kagamine Len background.
I also apologized to all my Steam and Discord friends for the inconvenience.
Dealing with the waiting
After I sent my Ticket to Steam Support and had to waited
I made some Songs on Tomodachi Life about me getting scammed to pass the time.
