Contacted by "Manager Steve" on steam who locked my account, removed my friends and the purchased games then asked me to do a trade?
Hi something weird happened I was playing rogue trader when someone called Manager Steve told me my account was limited because of reports and that they thought some of my items in cs2 could be stolen.

Then they asked me for a name in my friends list and told me to do a full inventory trade to check steam logs and such.

It was too sudden so I figured it was a scam but now my games are gone and my cs2 prime status is gone too.

Anyone have any experience with this? I put a support ticket on steam so hopefully i get a reply.

No, you can find reports of all of them stealing items. Do not login to any 3rd party website with your Steam account.

ALL 3rd party websites are use at your own risk.

You seem like an intelligent and rational person based on your posts. This is extremely refreshing in these "I was scammed" posts.

While some trading sites might intend to do legitimate business, many do not. Some may do a certain degree of honest business while skimming off the top from choice victims. Valve also disapproves of these sites and they go against the TOS. They've sent waves of cease and desist orders to site owners before. There's a bit of a conspiracy theory that Valve actually allows the sites to operate because they technically indirectly profit from it. Whether that's true or not is debatable, but Valve is the only one who can stop them, and they haven't so far, so who knows.

It's really safer to just assume that all third party trading sites are scams and avoid them entirely. Keep all your Steam trading activity on Steam and Steam alone. Trust nobody.

How can I know that my account is fully secured? I checked the web api, but it was only saying register other than that did all others

some scammer created account named [helper] // manager no 45 and somehow made my games removed from library
