My steam account has been disabled? - Games

[QUOTE='Poesidan [GAG];25981925']Oh lord, I didn't know people scammed via gifting :O. I will never accept another gift :ohdear: Good luck iRunner :frown: You're gonna need it.[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter if you accept it or not. As long as the gift is fraudulent, your account will be *temporarily* disabled until you submit a ticket

[QUOTE=Torfaldur;25981760]after taking a look at your youtube page i can safely assume that you're an extreme tf2 fan. someone probably reported you after a bad trade or something (yes, that's how bad tf2 is). anyway, my comment was not directed to you so i'm not replying any further[/QUOTE] I haven't touched trading in ages, except for giving free items. also, the reason my account is disabled is not trading, it's for the same reason irunner and earl have disabled accounts [editline]10th November 2010[/editline] oh hey, get a load of this dense motherfucker [quote]3:43 PM - ben_graphix: whay 3:44 PM - ben_graphix: how was an accident? 3:44 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): : 3:44 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): | 3:44 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): :|* 3:44 PM - ben_graphix: she totally did this to screw all of us 3:44 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): are you fucking dense 3:44 PM - ben_graphix: dude 3:44 PM - ben_graphix: just because shes a girl doesnt mean she can be forgiven 3:44 PM - ben_graphix: what did she say anyways? 3:45 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): wow, didn't know she worked at the credit card company that disabled her card due to possible identity theft 3:45 PM - Devon (A.ccount's Disabled): excuse me for being out of the loop [/quote]

Damn I never knew that steam was a bitch.

Guys. I've had the very exact thing happened to me 2 years ago. There is only one way to get it back, and it is insanely stupid. I had well over $400+ on my account, I was pissed when I come to find out that the emails weren't doing anything to help me. I wasn't going to just let STEAM throw my money away like that. The only way is to sue them. LUCKILY, I was successful. But I wasn't successful in suein' them, I threatened them and was actually getting ready to legally sue them. I contacted my close friend, thankfully I have a close friend who is a lawyer. He contacted the support, and got more deep into the support lines, with the higher ups in management. He had to threaten, provide info (CD Keys, playtime on most of the games, my full details, the last payment and card I used it with, and finally the event that happened.) I ended up getting it back, though it was defiantly a troublesome. Sorry to all of you guys who has been attacked using this method, apparently STEAM doesn't give a horse shit about the method since it has been 2 years since I got mine back and they still haven't fixed it or are really aware of it. I wish luck you every single one of you. If you got any more questions on the process I went through of getting it back, PM me and I'll do my best to answer you. I'm at work, so excuse all the mistakes I've made, typing fast. :P Wish you luck!

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;25977590]when was I worth a shit to anyone[/QUOTE] oh fuck bro I MISS YOU

this is possibly the most retarded thing i have ever seen i mean, how could they do something like this, it is unbearably stupid, steam has so many flaws it's not funny

Lately Valve has been doing some dumb stuff. Hope they get this stupid account dealio in check, until then I'm never going to accept gifted games. I can't trust anyone anymore :(

[QUOTE=iRunner;25980231]You guys do know the person who bought all these gifts was drako, she got her account disabled too, I just hope she can fix this, she's not an ass, she is the nicest person I've met[/QUOTE] Earlier I saw drako come online [editline]10th November 2010[/editline] Oh man iRunner. Dat alt drop list [url]http://items.bfused.com/unlessitsahat[/url]

Valve has really dropped their reputation in my eyes over the past few months

[QUOTE=JLea;25988200]Valve has really dropped their reputation in my eyes over the past few months[/QUOTE] They are trying to expand and support other companies on the #1 digital distribution platform. It is completely understandable that they have to act in such a way over many things.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;25990916]They are trying to expand and support other companies on the #1 digital distribution platform.

[QUOTE=starpluck;25991108]I don't see how that has to do with getting your account disabled because the person who gifted you a game had an issue with their payment.[/QUOTE] And what were the games? Read first post in thread and youll understand my post better.

[QUOTE=Torfaldur;25981361]so why would your e-friend gift you "bad games" you didn't even want? and for free.. your e-friend was obviously using a stolen credit card.[/QUOTE] He wanted the games because I had them so that we can play. And that wasn't a stolen credit card. :colbert:

Best of luck ot all of you, i will keep an eye on this to see how it ends.

Valve doen't look into things and try to solve them - instead they're just plain lazy these days. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer sits on his couch and presses random buttons on his computer using a stick.

i should stop buying stuff... Luckily my dad's colegue is a lawyer

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25982048]It doesn't matter if you accept it or not. As long as the gift is fraudulent, your account will be *temporarily* disabled until you submit a ticket[/QUOTE] this really makes no sense to me. If you don't accept it you don't want it, so what would the thought be behind disabling your account? But I'm guessing it'd be easier to get your account back if this was the case.

[quote=Drako]Valve decided that I spent too much money, so they shut down my account. I asked them why, and they're like, "Bro, too much money, you're a criminal". So I verified my purchases and they unlocked my account. BUT they cleaned out my backpack and shut down everyone who I gifted stuff to's account.[/quote] Steam is gay :saddowns:

Shouldn't be hard to prove you're the account holder. Would be easy for me, since my account name has my name in it, with my bank account with my name on it, and I have a bunch of CD keys. [editline]12th November 2010[/editline] Sorry about all you guys though. I'm not accepting any gifts anymore, probably.

now i'm getting paranoid on buying games

Oh shit, I recently gifted somebody DOD:S. Hoping this won't happen to the person I gifted it to, the only game this guy had before I gifted them dod was HL2, so the guy totally deserved my gift. If this happens, my respect in Valve will be lost entirely.

Dammit, now I too am going to be paranoid in buying games form Steam. I haven't have any problems so far and a friend gifted me DOW 2 and still no problems. A couple fo the stories make me paranoid about trading on TF2 as well.

I have my account back :smile:
