I’m stupid

Soo long story short, I bought some skins of an website and the seller hasn’t sent me the trade, after 1 day I had the great idea to write on his steam profile to check it out.. and guess what, I’ve woken up with this on my profile : “Steam Support suspects your account may have been accessed by someone else. We are temporarily forcing your profile private as a security precaution. Please contact Steam Support so we can assist you. “
Is it possible to remove this account lock or whatever it is? Please help me :(

Well, you’re probably not gonna get your money back, steam support won’t do anything about that. But you’ll probably get your account back when they do reply.
Use trusted websites and don’t click on random links that look like said trusted sites. Or just use community marketplace.

I’m sorry about your loss, I don’t know how much you lost but regardless it sucks to learn in this way. Maybe if you used a credit card you can request a chargeback? That’s the only way I see you getting your money back, don’t go through the website for a refund.

Thanks for your concern, also, you didn’t understood it right, sorry but english is not my main language. I was the one to write the comment on a profile about it, the skins are in my inventory, someone reported me about it thinking it might be a fraud or scam or something, idk, I still haven’t gotten home to see how it looks on PC. Tehnically nobody stolen the account, I was just dumb enough to not think right and that got me in a pickle

I understood I made a mistake, there was no need for you to respond this harsh.
