Then, verify it again.

The message "sudden increase in use" is basically a fraud preventative measure for your own sake.

This is literally to protect you should your account get stolen.

That happened to me once!!!!

You know what I did to get around it?

I just shrugged my shoulders and waited it out. I'm still alive today to tell the tale!

Your avatar is a dinosaur, so sadly, I regret to inform you, the dinosaurs did not survive. They were wiped out by fund holds on Steam. I am sorry for your loss.

Well it has become annoying when I’m the one who used my credit card for the steam wallet✌🏻🫩.

Yea but steam does not know that. The only thing it knows is that you tried to do it several times. That is what a person abusing your card would do too. Yes, if people did not scam or steal, we would not need such systems, but until human society changes and grows up, well, here we all are. Be proactive and do something to change society like me.

I think your mad about society and not the system on steam. That is just a symptom of human society's bad habits at this point. It is like a sickness. It is a symptom. You can be the cure, as even one voice can change things.

Fraudn detection is a finicky science. And one in which is preferred a false positive (yes you're using it but 'just in case' let me check it's indeed you) to let a fraud slide (If it turned out it wasn't you then you'd been happy for them to lock and ask)
