Yes, you got scammed.

Not a single third party site can be trusted no matter how many random nobody YouTubers tell you otherwise. Not a single site, nor Steam Group, can be trusted no matter how many people use it (or claim to use it) and tell you it is safe, or they never had a problem.

Never vote for someone's team.

Never try to get that $50 gift.

Never listen to anyone on Discord saying they accidently reported you ...
...or that they are an admin ... or that they want to be friends and/or trade.

Trust no one.

Valve will never contact you in reported. Valve will never contact you about anything. Yes, it's a scam, one of many listed by Valve as a scam.

Secure your account, read the FAQ's.

scam, no valve employee will ever contact you outside of support requests and no where but steam, nor will they ever beg for money and skins, to validate an account, or do so to check for and handle "reports".

btw, valve employees have a notice on their profiles stating the same stuff about scams/valve contact, as well as faqs outlining much of these old scams.

report any profiles involved on their respective platforms, then block them.

beyond that, learn from your mistakes, don't fall for silly phishing scams and also don't click misspelled/fishy links sent to you, no matter who it supposedly is, whether on your friend list or not.

hopefully you didn't also log into scam skin sites with your steam login/pass and 2fa....

So, what should I do

The beginning of the story, there was an account named Lantham, he reported that I made an illegal transaction buying a CSGO 2 knife for 1500 dollars, even though I never made any transactions, then the Lantham account gave a friend code to Regina M

How to report?

Well, its over. Don't do it again.

Meanwhile report EVERYONE involved and let Valve sort-em out. If they contacted you on a different platform then report them there too.

Take that as a learning experience. Pro tio: common sense is a superpower!

I have reported the accounts involved

yeah the same person just tried to scam me threating to permanently ban my account if i didn't comply. i looked it up and steam doesn't just delete your account if you actually have been active for at least a year and have bought games before.

Steam doesn't even delete accounts that have been inactive for years.

Who told you this incorrect information about Valve deleting inactive accounts?

There are 21 year old accounts with zero games, zero activity that haven't been active in 21 years because Valve does not delete inactive accounts.

Report and block them.

Steam support will only ever contact you via, guess what, the support messaging system. Anything else is plain ol' scam.
