I got a Vac banned alert on my profile
Today someone added me as a friend without my verification and blocked all my friends, turned off my showcases, avatar, etc... I asked him who he was and how he could add me as a friend?
He told me I got a vac ban alert because I stole P2000 from someone on buff. But I proved to him that I didn't do it, I bought it on buff. Then he said ok, but it still needs verification.
He told me to transfer my inventory. If I don't transfer my inventory from CS to my friend or any other account, they will block my account and I will lose my inventory. I didn't believe him at first until I saw the alert and avatar change on my profile, then I started to believe him. He told me to choose a steam friend that I can trust to do the transfer.

I did it, I unblocked my friend and he sent me an inventory transfer message to transfer all my stuff to an account, but I think this account is not my friend, it is a level 0 account, but the avatar and name are the same. In case I didn't follow the one he sent me, I chose my friend and transferred to my friends account. My friend received my stuff. At the end, I think he deleted me and everything was ok but the vac banned alert is still on my profile. My question is: is this a new scam or is it real. How can I get rid of this alert?

My friend took my stuff. But the account he sent me is indeed different. there has nothing in the profile and the steam level is 0.

anyways

Your account is compromised

DO. NOT. TRADE.

Steps to take NOW:
1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a clean computer. If you used that passwords for another website, change it over there too.
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)
6. Change your trade link
Profile > your inventory > trade offer > Who can send me trade offer > scroll down and make a new trade link.
7. Report the scamming account to support if you are already scammed :Help (top left) > Steam support > CS GO > problem with item > I was scammed

The whole point of it is to force you to initiate a trade and a bot will cancel and redo a trade instantaneously that you would beleive is the correct one but is not, it will be a bot copying the receiver account almost perfectly in less than one second, and your items will be send to another account and lost.
They can do that because they have set up an API key for that, through you connecting to a weird website one day.
If you lost your skin already, you cannot get those back.

Bro, I didn't cheat in the game. The person who added me as a friend told me that I stole something and needed verification.
