Do nothing. Unfriend all involved parties. Cease all communication. Secure your account by doing a full virus scan, deauthorizing all devices, and changing your password on a secure device.

Yes it's an obvious scam. Steam support will never talk to you outside the support ticket system, this includes steam chat or any 3rd party service like discord.

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from another, clean device
4. Generate new backup codes for your mobile app https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key if you see any over there https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/dev/apikey

And this Ladies and Gentlemen is the moment we block whoever texted us and move on.

Do they not teach basic computing anymore? This is something you should 100% know before connecting to the internet. It's very concerning you don't know how to do a very basic task like a virus scan.

It says a lot about your computer's security.

Do what the top commenter said, and change your password and possibly your email address too. Make sure you have Steam Mobile Authenticator enabled as well. This is why I very rarely accept friend invites from people I don't know.
