Hi Lyn Gamer, I today suddenly receive 2 message that my credit card have been used to purchase game in steam. Total cost is JPY15000 + JPY20000 I'm not sure how and why did this happened, so i called my bank to block my credit card and check for the problem. my question here is , how do i contact steam and is it possible to request them trace where did this transaction made? I did searching around but can't raise any question at steam support.

You can contact steam suppork, but steam suppork is horribly selow due to lack of staff at Valve Corp. Had an issue regarding Hitman Absolution once, took them a whole month before resolving my region lock issue (which ironically was purchased in MY and played in MY just to be blocked in mY)

Not related to Steam but I once kena charge with clothing company in US. Maybank can trace it and you just need to fill in a form that they provide for refund purpose. I got my refund in 2 weeks.

I've called my bank immediately after I receive the purchase message. Bank said they will block my card and dispute for me.
I just wanted to trace where is the purchase was made and I can't think of anywhere that I've been using my CC recently.

Cancel your card and get a new one. Your details might be stolen somewhere when you swiped your credit card/used it on online purchasing.

My latest transaction is with my insurance auto debit, then before that only is swipe for Hospital fee.
Sounds a bit scary if they can get my CVV number as well for purchase game in steam store. Also, during purchase the game, I didn't receive any TAC/PAC request. How come?

I only use my steam account play free games. Didn't buy any game before.

Bank said that they will dispute the amount and reimburse me with credit, so just ignore the amount when my statement came out.

Ask them to replace a new card for you. You don't have to contact steam, the bank itself has the power to cancel the transaction alone.
