Long time nothing interesting happened and yesterday, one man's nickname Jessegonzalez wrote to me on a discord app.
He said my account could be banned because of his misunderstanding. Actually it is a good mind trick, because probably another person starts to panic and thoroughly listens to this scammer. Ok let's start.

Hello? u/alfabuster
> alfabuster
hi
> Jessegonzalez
I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here to let you know that I accidentally reported you to the Steam admin for swindling me and for having a fake item rather than the other person who had previously tricked me. I'm really sorry.
> alfabuster
So, I think it is ok, cause no new messages for me from Steam admins
what game you played?
> Jessegonzalez
And the major reason I messaged you is so that you can certify that I reported you in error and that you are not associated with those mistake report issues, so that my complaint won't be processed and your account will stay active on Steam.
I submitted a ticket on Steam, and this is their response.
Then he sand picture to me...
The picture looks real. Seems they are preparing for this move. After that, interesting things continue...

It says that in order to avoid being banned, you must add him on Discord and via email and explain what you are doing. His email address and discord username are noreply.steampowered.request.steam.com and supportadil to be precise.

Csgo
I really hope you add him so the pending ban on your account will be revoked.
> alfabuster
I don't have csgo
> Jessegonzalez
That's why I mistakenly reported your account instead of someone else
Did you already added them? supportadil
> Jessegonzalez
You just need to add them and make an appeal about this issue so that the pending ban on your account will be remove
> alfabuster
ok
> Jessegonzalez
You added them? supportadil
> alfabuster
send
> Jessegonzalez
Okay, if they accept you please tell them about the mistake and just follow what they said so that the problem solve easily
> alfabuster
ok
> Jessegonzalez
I'm really sorry for this inconvenience this will never happen again.
> alfabuster
no problem
Bingo! He asked me to add (I think his friend) some supportadil. He asked me a few times to add this guy. Ok, let's add that guy.
After that I was already tired of that circus. Probably they wanted to steal some information about steam, or better give to me some fishing links, where shit could be happening.
So never trust random people from discord who try to follow you to fake support of Steam, Epic etc. Always check notifications on applications or official web sites. Use Two Factor Authentication( 2FA ), and stay calm.
