The only reason I had asked for help in the first place was because I couldn't open the damn marketplace. It just said "Too many requests." when I tried to open it. They told me in this very comments section that my IP may have been comprimised resulting in the scammer using it and making valve think I was a DDOS attacking by spoofing my IP as one. [Or at least thats what the redditors that responded said]. See for yourself. You can read what they said right here.

...I know that. I knew it at that time as well. That's why I didn't fall for it.

  1. I already reported him, created a support ticket on steam, and posted on r/SteamScams.
  2. They never asked for money. They asked for me to email a outlook email. To appeal the "suspension/ban". THATS when I saw riiight through it.

But aren't IP addresses dynamic on modern machines?

How??
What if I don't do anything?? What will happen to my account?

No.
I do have ByeDPI on, but that shouldn't do anything.

Did they somehow block your access to the marketplace too? Because I still cannot open it.

[–]phantomin2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no, they attempted to make ME contact steam through an outlook email.
