I have been scammed and steam seems to not care at all.

Hello all,
So yes, I have been scammed in a way I would never imagine. I play faceit, and was looking for a team to play with, there was 4 man lobby, they added me at discord, and then the act started. Dude was navigating me to official Vitality Team Hub, so they can farm elo/rewards there, and asked me to do the same. Trick was, that apparently a "faceit discord" sent me thing to confirm my indentity, and I was asked to sent offer to my 2nd acc or friend. So I did, and then this happened. Not only, the two-step-auth from steam did not work, but also it redirected the trade to scam account that they used.
And here I am, all tickets I write to our lovely Steam support are insta closed or marked as solved, noone is replying, and ofc my whole inventory is gone. Faceit is on the line with me, but they also do not see to be helpful in the process.
Have you ever got scammed stuff back? If so, how? Do you know how to contact steam in any other way?
Please help me, I just wanted to play cs with someone XD

what about Don't Starve Together? They constantly use your steam account for their own 3rd party website if you want to buy or sell your items and skins. As well as spending points and spools.

All third-party sites are use at own risk.

Oh...
There is difference when house is meant to be protected by double lock of some steam protection ♥♥♥♥, and it never happens. I never gave away keys as you say, it was breached to do so.

Your OP tells a different story.

Anyway, Steam accounts get compromised via phishing or malware. FaceIT has issues with phishing, they even have FAQs about that. So, you got phished.

Yes, but it likely uses the Steam once-click login. Never played the game, so can't for sure.
