Account locked for posting or upvoting suspicious content on Steam

If you received a Suspicious Content account alert, Steam Support classified something posted or upvoted by your account as suspicious. Suspicious content includes links, messages and other types of content that are used for account theft, scamming, phishing, and other malicious or illegal activities.

The account alert should also contain a link or reference to the specific content that was reviewed and classified by Steam as suspicious.
