first scammed, now bank account locked

I was trying to contact the people who were wanting to help me get my steam account back, and was trying trying to send them money so that they were able to refound me, but the bank found the transaction suspicious and locked my account, waiting for them to call me to so that they can finally unlock it,bloody this is horrible and just feeling depressed atm, all I wanted was my steam account back ffs!

Refund? I'm fixated on this word 'refund' and it's little bit suspicious. Please go watch Jim Browning and Scammer payback channels on YouTube. If the person is trying to get remote access to ur computer and the person has indian accent, it's definitely a scam.

@GoneSilent no, they are not wanting to get remote access to my computer

@maturedragon Oh,okay. did the person ask u to transfer money by any other means like bitcoin or giftcards?

maturedragon · 26-30, M

@GoneSilent yes they have

@maturedragon It might be a scam.😐
If they asked to send money urgently like within a short duration, it's a sign of scam.
I don't have enough info on how did u contact those ppl nor i'm an expert in detecting scams, i might be wrong.
Anyway, Be careful with refunds.

@GoneSilent okay, I was recommended through twitter on how to contact them, cause I went to twitter to see if anyone can help, and someone recommended me to them

@maturedragon Did u transfer money like they asked you to?
I don't think that they are legit. Check their websites and email address, you might get some clue.

@maturedragon Thank God, don't transfer your money then.

maturedragon · 26-30, M

@GoneSilent oh no, for myself to get the money back, tht was taken from me, but I guess can't really do that can you?
