That's King Von, a notoriously ruthless and deceased drill rapper known for needing to get revenge or "get back". Maybe Steam is taking vengeance for the guy who got hacked? That's all I've got.
I fell for a complex scam in 2023. It was the first time I'd seen its kind. Account hacked, contacted steam with proof, and bam I got it back. However, the original profile picture was changed and thus lost to the annals of my memory. Steam does not keep a history of that...
btw i made a reference to the "stabbing someone in the face" joke on the project zomboid subreddit and copped a 30 day ban. Kids these days don't know their bash quotes.
I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produce moneys equaling US$40,000,000 tied up in a steam wallet. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Yours truly,
Prince Alyusi Islassis
My man that's not complex that's one of the basics. Support doesn't contact you, you contact them. And if someone really, truly, reports you on accident then nothing fucking happens unless you were doing actionable stuff to begin with. At which point that's on you.
Yeah I got a scam like this a few years back, they contacted me on discord and made their pfp and name the same as an actual Valve employee on steam, I asked them to login to their account and text me to prove it and they stopped responding lol
