ZONERBOT​.XY​Z report-botted me?
I have been falsly VAC banned. I have only played 4 matches in the last week or so, whilst any of my previous csgo games were played about a year ago.

I have receieved a suspicious comment on my profile, you can go ahead and check it out for yourself;

Or see this convenient screenshot, in case it gets deleted.

Here are all the games i played, 3 of which were played faceit, and 1 was matchmaking.

As you can see, in all of those games I had terrible stats, and though the replays can't be downloaded, you're going to have to believe me that I was not cheating. Maybe my 7 year old badge proves something, i dont know...

I went to the site this bot provided in the comment on my profile, and checked out their page..
There I was on their list, together with thousands of other people, all of which are banned as well.

I don't have hope for steam to unban me, and I doubt they will. I just hope those report-bots can be stopped and no more people get banned. If the nubmers on their site are correct, then 1,8 million dollars is a lot of lost money...

VAC bans are nothing to do with reports or the Zonerbot nonsense. Those spam messages are just placed on accounts which are already banned to confuse and possibly scam users.

Report bots don't work either.

Vac bans are given for what vac found on your pc or a pc that your account was used on/associated with

I have found that I had a virus on my pc, https://imgur.com/gallery/Dw2crvH
Could it be the cause of me getting vac banned?
If so, shouldn't the overwatch people judge if I were cheating or not depending on the replay?

VAC bans are nothing to do with Overwatch.

You are told in that message. Read the first sentence again.

Does that mean that another account is using my phone authenticator?
How can I see if I have multiple accounts connected together?

READ the message. Nowhere in it does it mention the authenticator.

You know your accounts. All of which would have the ban.

Don't bother with the I didn't use my number on another account because you would have had to link the account to the number and to do that a code was sent to the number for verification.

Maybe now you do, but at the time of the cheating infraction, you did not. That's how phone number bans work. Simply removing other phone number linked accounts later on after VAC has already detected cheating in connection with that phone number will not get around it.

That would make no sense, if it was, as then, cheaters would just cheat with the alt, remove the number, then avoid being banned on the other phone number linked account.

It matters which accounts are linked by phone number at the time the cheating from the guilty account was actually detected by the VAC system.
