Account locked for fraud
Im using this account because the other one is locked, im just asking you to bear with me for a minute and try to help me, i know how this will sound.

It started 27/06 when i bought in the morning 6 games, i started playing one of them and later that day i bought the sequel with the same card i bought the 6 games, or so i thought.

9/07 i received the red warning telling me i was under investigation, obviously i contacted support cause i didnt know the reason why this would happen, what they told me that a purchase was made with a card ending in 14 that made a ticket saying the purchase was unauthorized, wich i found weird cause im the owner of my cards.
I told them i could send them my bank statement to prove that it was me who made the purchase, when i left work i went to the bank to print the statement and i realized, that i had one previous steam purchase, and the sequel one i mention, but not the 6 games one, obviously i panicked and told them that i checked the statement and its true that the purchase wasnt there, i would be happy to compensate the person or refund the games, in no means i meant to hurt/steal anyone.

They locked my account obviously.

First i want to say that i use an app called MBway , its a Portuguese mobile payment/transfer service where you can create virtual cards from your own if you dont feel confortable putting the original card data on the internet, what i always do is create a card with the ammount i need, make the purchase and delete the card.

I didnt understand some things, how did i used someone elses card, and how did a card that didnt match my billing adress went through with the purchase, i always use my billing adress, is something thats set up for years and i never touch that, i only change the card number, expiration date and those 3 digits.

When i check the purchases i saw that, theres the one that ended in 14, supposely not mine, and in the same day one that ended in 48, i checked this 48 card and the last 4 digits were 1148, and i know how this part will sound, but after panicking and thinking for so much time the only thing i could think its that when typing the card i must have made a typo or add another number and the 48 card became something like "1114" or something.

I know its statisticly pretty much impossible but i dont know anymore...

And other thing that is killing me is, how did a card thats not mine and didnt match my billing adress was accepted...

Im human, i made errors when typing stuff, but everytime i did it it appeared a orange text in checkout saying something like "credit card not accepted because the information doesnt match" or something like that.

Again, i know how this sounds, i have proof of the billing adress i have proof of all transaction from 10+ years ago since i started using card, i used paysafe when i was yonger, i just cant understand...

Sorry for the long text, but this is a desperate and maybe pathetic measure, i dont want to lose my account that i have since 2012... i would not stain it for any value much less not even 15€, time spent is something priceless.

If anyone have an idea of something i can do it would be appreciatted.

We're not Steam support, nobody here is. The only place you will get any useful help is at the below link. If Steam won't unban your account, then you will just have to start over again. Their word is always final.

Again, nothing the community can do to help.

Next time use paypay if you are that scared of using your OG card
