Hi, just friendly reminder, that this scam is still going and trying luck on discord (ať least for me). Scenario is going like this: Somebody contacts you with message about your account. He accidentaly reported it and steam support is not going to help. So he tell you to contact someone on discord, 100% genuine steam support staff. Later with “steam support staff” you go thru proces of verification of account (sending few screenshots). Loging off from all devices, Steam Deck included, and then he tells you to forward him confirmation code from SMS, or remove phone number from steam acc, or confirm request in steam guard (i have gone thru all of it, before he figured out that i am just wasting his time) Do not send him anything.

    First rule of scam prevention: trust nobody. Second rule of scam prevention: don’t click random links. Third rule of scam prevention: Discord is not a support line.

    Fuck scammers.

      Fourth rule on scam prevention: NEVER send any verification code send to you or generated by an app. Valve or any other company support will EVER ask for it.
