So heres the story, someone messaged me on discord telling me they reported an other account i pay on by mistake cause someone using the same profile picture as me stole all his cs2 items., telling me id need to contact a steam moderator on discord. naively i do so. The said moderaator asked me to send my purschase history and asked me if i was the owner of the debit card of the steam account. i do so knowing im not the author of the fellony. then all my email and phone number got deleted and i couldnt log in my other account, the mod said i needed to pay 30 dollars steam gift card on g2a so i could confirm im not an hacker. this seemed pretty sus and now i dont have acess to my account anymore. Have i been victim of fisghing or have i just been too paranoid?
thanks for your help.

ps: i blocked the discord user

You’ve definitely fallen victim to a phishing scam. Scammers often contact users on platforms like Discord, create a fake story to trick you, and then ask for sensitive information. The request for your purchase history and debit card details, as well as the demand to buy a gift card through G2A, are major red flags. Real Steam support would never ask for that.

If you’ve lost access to your Steam account, email, and phone, it’s likely the scammer gained control after you shared information. You should contact Steam support directly to recover your account, change your passwords everywhere, and enable two-factor authentication. It’s also a good idea to notify your bank if you provided any payment info. And make sure you report the scammer to Discord.

Steam support will never talk to you via discord or steam chat. The only way to talk to support is through the help ticket system. Report all account involved via their steam profiles and/or via discord.

This is scam they pulled on you:
