- After seeing the amount of comments I've been getting I feel as tho I should change this description to give you more information. This is called a steam API scam, it happens when you log into steam through some phishy website...whether it be a trading or gambling site. All you have to do is revoke your steam api key and change your password...all will be well after that. Unfortunately all items lost will not be returned by steam...so you have to bite the bullet.

I lost my Gut Knife Ultraviolet because I was gifting my friend for his birthday. Had to explain to him why he didn't get a gift that year. Same scam
that is absolutely awful, hope all ends up working out :(
@@Kwaish Steam is so god damn annoying. They don't restore items no matter what. So corrupt
just got scammed for my navaja knife vanilla today too haha
- Kushe - I have the answer, it’s an api scam. You all have gone onto a fake website yes? That website put their bot link into your api code when you have them your login details. Worth the api code the bot can cancel offers you send and send a new offer to itself. The bot will always change its name and profile picture to the same as who you were trying to trade to.
@@krypt1c490 ya just make sure it's not showing localhost in the Api section

Note: If you got scammed by this method, or any method, dont waste your time. Steam will sadly NOT give you back your items. They are lost forever. Dont know how some people can sleep well at night by stealing from others.
Ikr like get a job if your desperate for money
RIP my 200 dollars
@@bruhmomento3745 RIP :( But atleast you are ready for next time! gl to you.
bro i just lost my butterfly knife and 2 pairs of gloves along with a talon knife to this im so fucking sad
The same thing NEAAARLY happened to me too a few weeks ago, I just didn’t confirmed it in the steam mobile app because it sayd „this user is steam level 0“ and my second acc I wanted to gift was steam lvl 2 .... I nearly lost like 600 dollars I am so glad I didn’t confirmed it in the last second !
Always check your API key before trading no matter what
this is Api Steam scam
revoke ur api key and dont log in through steam in any unknown websites
Steam know this exist they know it happens,yet they allow random url posting on someones profile.
because Gaben is gaylord
@@KB-cb9bi indeed fam
I lost 160 as well aren’t you getting it back at all?
Same thing happened to me like almost 2 years ago i lost like 100e
I had the same thing except my account was changed and said I had 24 hours to trade my stuff, I thought I was safe to trade my csgo items to my alt, and I lost $300 worth of skins. It was so depressing especially being a broke college student
Literally same happened to me except my inventory was worth $400 :/
Same here but for me I got vac banned for som stupid shit and I had 3 hours to send the trade and I lost my knife, gloves and skins worth 300$
Just browsing through the comments seeing who also got this, rip my skins that popped up in someone else’s inventory
Same man! 1 ducking year later and it is still possible! Thanks steam for not doing anything!
Just happened to me a bit ago, 2 knifes, its 2023 and its still happening...... Did you get your items back?
Its called API scam :/
tell me more about it
@@YTnamesAreBS basically the account is hacked due to signing in to a scam site with steam. once they get ur login and a steam guard code they can change the trade offers u send and receive and send the items to their accounts. So to avoid it don't click on sketchy links or random gambling/trading sites that you aren't 100% sure are trusted. Oh and if random ppl add u and tell u to click their link, dont do it, no matter what they say you will get for going to the site. Can be avoided pretty easily if you're thorough.
@@shane3228 i got scammed my 300$ inventory. I went to csgoempire and deposit an item and the item i sent to the original person got canceled and it didnt even notify me and i clicked confirmed on my mobile but when i know the item is sent to the scammer with identical profile with level 0 account. I don't know if i should laugh or cry its time for me to stay away from this steam community
@@bormabasumatary2287 What did you do? Same thing just happened to me with $500 inv
@@zolton4453 you basically clicked on some websites and tried to login. The tournament scam you know where they tell you to vote. Once you realize its a scam you think you're free but they put a bot on your account which auto cancels the trade and sent the offer to his bot account. I tried to ask stream as well and they don't want to recover the lost item. So basically say bye to your skins
Its API scam so dont login your steam account to suspicious or unconfirmed webs ;)
Help me I just did that
@@rodon. Change your password and api key
@@skezy8340 same happen to me i changed both but the question is did they have my steam password if yes so they could do anything they want also 2fac is enabled on steam
Maybe your friend should send you a trade offer with all the items he'd like to have?
I got scammed it said that i was trade banned and i needed to trade my items to an alt, when i did that 70€ worth of skins were gone. I just wanted to know is my account safe? I want to buy a knife just wanted to know if there is any possibility i could get scammed again.
this makes my brain hurt
Yeah man..One time my profile was changed like it was before banning and it said like "hey send your items you want to save to your friend" and i just sent them to my brother and before accepting i saw that he wasnt online while my brother was online..I go check the profile and it was a fake profile like on the video,the name and the pfp of the profile was changeing every 1minute..So i didnt accept it,i just returned my name,discription and my pfp back to normal and that was it..
I lost my whole inventory buy csgo and steam first time I got scammed now i wanted to send my skins to my other profile and they got sent somewhere else good job valve and steam
To be fair, when you confirm the trade you should always check that you are getting the items. Dont ever just confirm without checking. There is no need to rush, go at your own pace
have you solve the problem? and have you get back your item? I just now got scam with same method with you, if you solve it, could you share your solve method please?
Unfortunately no, steam does not help with this.
I lost 65Euro too.. like 3 days ago, is it posible to get steam to revert the trade?
MVP. Steam doesn’t do that
@@ifyoudontlikemethenimabot7354 STEAM can do that of course but they will not do that for your request.
Yea man same thing happened to me today I clicked on my friend sent him the trade and now the items I sent went to a fake low lvl account lost about $200 worth of items

Same happend here, lost 150 euro of skins. What happend was, i got invited into a CSGO tournament, opened the site, looked really professional, logged in with steam, and then nothing happend. I then read all the bad info about this site, logged out, changed passwords etc, and nothing happend for 3 months. just yesterday i wanted to gamble 4 assimov skins on CSGOfast, worth 150 euros, and my offer got declined 2 times, and then i recieved a offer from the same BOT name, for the same skins, and i was so stupid to accept it, and my skins were gone. changed my api, and tried it with a cheap skin, and still the offer got declined and i recieved a trade offer, which i refused. and now im typing this.
did u end up figuring out how it happend

omfg im sry for u bro. I lost my 400$ inventory 3 days ago :/
it's an api scam, you need to revoke your api keys on your steam account. Next time don't be logging your steam into random sites and it won't happen.
Wdym
I got scammed a few weeks ago and lost all my good tf2 items,sucks.
i got api scammed yesterday too, i lost about 200$ worth of rust skins... Is that possible that i will get a refund?
Ye this happend to me 2 did you get any message from steam if you reported the scam
@@rdp4187 Nope, i couldnt even report it, cuz the steam support system sucks. It gets mento a site, where i can find questions.
I lost like 300-400 dollars on skins on rust cause of this and there is a possibility to get your skins back just make a report to steam and tell them what happened I’m still waiting to hear from them
Just happened to me now over £500 worth of skins how is this scam done ?
This is a very common scam. Before CONFIRMING any trade offer, check the profile of the person you are gonna trade and try to remember the Level of the account and the Date when he joined Steam. Then when you're going to Confirm the trade with, check whether the Steam level and the Date matches up with the profile or not. Most of the bot accounts in this scam has Level 0 steam account, so that is a good sign. For now, change your Steam password, revoke your API Key (search it on google 'steam api key'). Also, contact Steam support and provide them with all the necessary screenshots, details etc. At least that account might get banned if Steam support gets access to necessary info. Because of this scamming method I've lost CSGO items worth around $1500 while trading on a trading site. Fortunately, steam support banned the scammer.
0 subs with 0 views wow, they ve banned the bot but didn t get your items Back?
@@enzocardeal At least the bot got banned.
@@sadat_41 feels bad man. A friend of mine got scammed yesterday by this method. I ve already changed my password and api key just in case.
i was scammed about like 1 years ago same method like that ;dd bots doing fine
same thing happened to me but there was an ad for steam and it wasn't actual steam it had a key logger in console and my whole account got grabbed they yanked my whole inventory and also got me a vac ban
One guys says he's from steam and he's trying to do this to me right now...and I don't want to accept it,he says he's going to block me on steam,can he do that
yea
but it wont effect you, he's not from steam
I got scammed over trading cards... TRADING CARDS!!! I'm lucky that it was just that and that I barely trade. but it's scary that it can happen easily.
Happened to me just now. My steam account has been compromised and I lost 100’s of dollars. I don’t know what to do next.
Open a ticket bro
Same
just enable 2FA and your always save.
Its cause you used a site that recieved your api keg and that allows them to send and cancel offers
Steam need to put the rules of other sites like ubisoft or whatever everysingle user had the have a one specific username no pp and +999 other pp in username this is a truly fair change would stop all this
Dude i got a same problem right now! they change name automatically to trade ban and u can't trade item for 24 hours 12 hours i got shock right now can u help me mate maybe i can help u too
yeah i just lost my m4 hyperbeast mw. just glad it wasnt my knife....

Yikes getting API scammed is tuff. Srry it happened.
you prob put in some info on a phishing site or sum then they send an offer from your account but on their pc i havent looked into api scams much due to me just not trading but thats my best guess honestly, it really sucks that all of this goes on without any intervention and or payback to the victims. rip to da homies lul

I lost my Bayonet knife in CS GO year ago by the same scam. I didn’t give my password to anyone. 2 factor authentication was on. Steam just ignored my ask to restore items, I think they knew about this scam and do nothing, maybe they are in the “same boat” with scammers. Just my thoughts🤷♂️
steam only wants you to buy on market. they will not help you to restore stolen items. had same story. fuck gaben gay

So is there no solution to this ?

It’s because you loged in to a fake gambling site or a third party sites that steal people’s logins
The same thing happened today for me but how they can do it i mean i just login with dmmarket with my steam no where else
Today I get the same scam, my friend wanted to trade my skins back coz I gave them to him to play with them before 1 week and today was the day that he was able to give them back to me and we tried to make a trade and I didn’t receive nothing and the trade was cancelled automatically then bot called with the same name like mine take them, now im -130$...
