Trade Scams
Trade scams are a scam whose goal involves obtaining a victim's Steam Inventory items.
What is a trade scam?
Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Change passwords from a clean computer
Generate new backup codes https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Revoke the API key https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/dev/apikey
After that, they've used your account to spam the same links to people on your friend list.
Remove the API key, deauthorize all other devices and secure your account.
And today my irl friend called me saying he can’t access to a website and I found out that in steam chat, I sent something to him which is similar to that steam friend sent days ago telling others to vote their team
Do you know what causes people to impersonate others? They are not using same profile pic and name, they are even using our real account to message others
Edit: turns out I sent that kind of message to all my steam friends, I didn’t give them any information, I just click the website and when anti virus warn it is potentially a scam, I immediately left
