Title: Someone has tried to mess with my acc
Post by: Ryan~ on January 05, 2019, 11:25:52 am
When I login to my account, my profile name, information, profile picture (VAC written on the picture))comments were deleted and everything was set to default (background steam , showcase etc). My information was changed as shown below; Account Alert. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Within an hour your account will get VAC http://****** skins place them on another account >Info< my account name was changed into numbers e.g 73743894, I have talked to Gandalf and he said it is alright, just someone has messed with your account and I won't get vac ban. I am still worried about my account, help me out please if I get vac or not

That's not how vac works, you can only get vac ban while playing on a vac secured server.
If I understood correctly someone wrote you'll get a vac if you don't deposit your skins on another account? ^ This itself is an obvious scam attempt, but since they already got into your account, best thing you can do is: - go to steam > settings > account > manage steam guard security and click "deauthorize all other devices" which means if someone is logged onto your account on a different machine, it will log them out.
Then simply change your password and problem is solved.
btw, do you not have mobile authenticator??

Your account has been hacked. And the hacker most likely changed all of this in an attempt to steal your skins
With this happening we will have to suspend your admin rights for now

Thank you so much for the help. I have waited for more than 2 hours, seems everything works as usual. I just disabled my mobile authenticator for some reason but I will enable it soon. It might be happened because I had been using a lot of gambling sites of csgo thus I got that issue. @Jake, you can give my rights back thank you. Problem solved!
