So this person on discord sent me a friend request and told me she accidentally reported me for scamming for 2.5k dollars, and the steam support said that i'm on the verge of getting banned. she told me to add this steam employee on discord to prove i did nothing. is this a scam or anything? i'm concerned. it had a screenshot from steam support and my real steam id.

i don't understand how the first thing you think of when approached like this isn't "why would a valve employee need to add me on discord" like come on dude... how do people even fall for that.

No one from Steam Support, or Steam itself will ever contact you.

Yes, this is a known scam where someone pretends they accidentally reported you. They send you a link to "resolve" the matter, which requires you to log in, whereby they steal your account information and hijack you.

Do not trust links from people you don't know.
