Nope, and the scam websites in your profile name history tell us all we need to know about how and why you were scammed.

Which trades are reversible?

Only trades that were created as Trade Protected (displaying the yellow Trade Protected item shield) can be reversed. Trades prior to this option's availability cannot be reversed and cannot be modified by Steam Support.

Your account is compromised.

Do not trade until your account is secured.

Take the following steps to secure your account:

1. Scan for malware. If you don't have a malware scanner use https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices. https://steamhost.cn/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a clean computer.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App. https://steamhost.cn/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key (there should be no key). https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/dev/apikey

Secure your account and stop using scam sites!

There are scam sites in your name history.

How do I remove my profile name history?

Steam stores the previous 10 names that you've used for your profile. If you'd like to clear this history, follow these instructions:

  • Log in to your account and go to your profile
  • Click the drop down arrow next to your current persona name
  • Select clear previous aliases


Never enter your Steam password on a third-party site. All third-party sites are use at own risk!

You gave away your login details to third-party sites.

That's how that "group on Faceit" got access to your account in the first place.
$1200 just for some useless pixels?! That's a very expensive lesson for whoever paid that silly amount.

No, you will not get your gear back. In the future, stop using third party websites. All trading should be done on steam, no where else! Anyone trying to get you to do Steam activities outside of Steam is obviously trying to scam you!

You gave away your log in details, that's how they got access to your account. As I and others have said, STOP USING THIRD PARTY WEBSITES.

Those are 100% scam websites that are known to hijack accounts and steal inventory. Whether or not it happened in this specific instance is immaterial. Those sites have your steam log in information, and control of your account.
