Unfairy VAC ban (I have a reason)
Hello Guys, and Developers.

Recently I login my steam account and i saw the VAC ban on my profile.
When I saw it, I became very angry and I couldn't imagine 'How I got it':..
This steam account is 7 years old and I have a lot of game and value on it.
I never committed an irregularity and therefore I didn't understand why.

However, I have a brother and he has a steam profile.
So, my phone number is attached to his profile, which is also attached to my profile.
When I got home I asked him 'What did he do?'.
Then he said they tried a hack with him friend.

But because my phone number is attached to my steam profile, so I was also banned...

This profile is very important for me,
I ask the developers to think about it because I did nothing...

Thank you very much for reading it and thank you for your trust.

In the first place you should not have shared your phone number to your brother’s account because that was also considered your account. In this case, because your brother cheated, the VAC Ban will also be carried over to this account as well.

The ban will be permanent and will not be removed. You are responsible for the security of your Steam Account(s).

And no, this ban is considered fair.

But I feel really bad about it, please help me... I didn't know it would be...
A lot of hackers are still cheating... I didn’t do anything and that’s why I get banned

You did do something and that is you linked your phone number to your brother's account and thus that makes that account yours.

If your brother cheats on that account which results in a ban which will be also carried over to yours, it's your responsibility and not Valve's.

The ban will be permanent and cannot be appealed.

No one on the forums can remove nor investigate a ban. Only falsely applied VAC bans are removed automatically by the system at a later time.

Known cheats were detected on the computer when the account connected to a vac server. A cheat is any program that alters protected game files, it does not have to give an advantage (skin changers, 3rd party crosshair mods, etc).

You are responsible for the security of the account and what is on the computer(s) the account uses. It does not matter who was using the account to cheat. Bans are not instant, whatever you were doing at the time of the ban being applied is unlikely to be the cause of it.

Steam/Valve will not release any information about what was detected, that information will only help those that cheat and make cheats.

Please read the linked material and click the INFO link next to your ban notice on your profile for more information.

this is not a ban appeal forum

What kind of help do you expect? UponTheSky told you everything you need to know.

You've been warned when you connected your number to you brother's account and that's the bill.

But guys, that's unfair... They don't even deal with the cheater users, but they ban people who haven't done anything :(

But you did do something

You let a cheater use your number to cheat
