What should I do? I heard Russians adding this to troll you and making your account or balance block, WTF?

Update, I found a guy named same as me, he said he sent the money by error, I didn't had any problems so I guess this must be true.

I doubt even the most dedicated of Steam Wallet savers would attempt to add the risible sum of 20 roubles to their account. You realise how little 20 roubles is worth, right?

Hum... I've heard things about Russians sending wallet and getting your Steam account locked or something... I don't remember for sure. I'd contact Steam support explaining the situation.

So should you, top comment

This was a human error on the part of the support agent moving the funds to the correct account. It is not indicative of an exploit. The account in question has been unlocked and we’re going to look at improving our tooling to prevent similar errors in the future.

20 rubles is only like 50 cents...

but it makes your account restricted, so you can redeem games, trade, activate games, etc. Basically only play and chat. idk why Valve allows this kind of Russian payments still work on Steam.

it makes no difference, even if it was 1 cent, the fact is that he will have 2 currencies in his account what will cause him being trade-locked.

From what I read it actually converts money now. So if someone sends you those 20 rubles, you'll see 50* more cents on your account.

*Or whatever 20 rubles are worth today.

I will have to send all my worth tradable stuff to my brother's account, before I get any lock.

I found on reddit if I don't spend any money until Valve support removes that shit from my account I could be fine and avoid lock.

It's really surprising this kind of thing still works; I've heard a story about such Russian trolling long time ago (I guess it was some guy, who interfered in Russian chat in Dota, they got mad at him for some reason and sent him a couple of rubles to his account, and this messed his wallet up; this also was during the sale - a real headache for him, obviously).
I am from CIS and I use qiwi-wallet to add funds to my account, the main thing is that I send them as rubles, and they get to my account as USD - I've never had any problems with this so far.

Weird that Steam doesn't have something in place that would require the account owner to have to accept or confirm funds added to their wallet by another user.

This problem has like 1 year, seeing by Reddit, they still did nothing. My account is not restricted, nobody charged back the money for now, but once they charge back it might be, so I'm not spending any of my Steam Wallet just in case.

You won't get lock and if you had previously steam wallet in another value, the rub gets converted to it. If you didn't and your value is changed - let valve know that and they will change it back (after you briefly explain everything). :)

Yes it converted into €, but the thing is they can charge back their 20 Rubles, since they deposited money by "mistake" and because of charged back money I may have problems.

i'm sure, trust me

Players in the Russian Federation can add funds directly to their Steam Account Wallet via their local cash kiosk or terminal - it means all payments thru terminals are final, and can't be charged back :)

I really have no idea how that sentence says "no chargebacks" - unless you can only use paper/metal money in those kiosks or terminals.

If you've made electronic payment you can always chargeback - you go to bank and scream "bastard company stole my money" and they reverse it back.

Look what I found in Steam EU EULA: "YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM A TRANSACTION OR OBTAIN A REFUND ONCE DELIVERY OF THE CONTENT HAS STARTED OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE HAS COMMENCED, AT WHICH POINT YOUR TRANSACTION IS FINAL."

Surprise, surprise, you can chargeback Steam - since reversal and chargeback are different things...

Кто то положил специльно мне 20 руб на кошелёк Стима, проблема в том что ранше в таких случьях те люди кто ложили деньги заберали их обратно, типо они «нечайно» ошиблись, а аккаунт человека на которого деньги ложили блокировалься и ты не мог традить, активировать игры, покупать и тп, пока Стим суппорт не решит проблему, у меня проблем пока нет и надеюсь не будут, говорят что деньги обратно они забрать не могут и что у меня проблем не будет, ну кто знает раньше такие проблемы случались.
