My Valorant Account Was Hacked Due to Impersonation Scam Stream
I am writing to request urgent help with recovering my Valorant account, which was recently compromised after I fell victim to a phishing scam.
Earlier today, I came across a YouTube live stream titled “Catch TenZ live in Premier and grab your Champions 2021 skins.” The stream appeared legitimate, showing someone claiming to be TenZ, and it included a link to claim “free skins.” Believing it to be official, I clicked the link, which directed me to a fake login page resembling the Riot Games login.
I entered my Riot credentials and then received a verification code in my email. The fake site prompted me to enter that code, which I did — and only afterward did I realize it was a phishing scam. Shortly after, I noticed that the email address linked to my Riot account had been changed to one belonging to the scammer.
I still have the original username and password, but I can no longer access my account because the verification codes are now being sent to the scammer’s email.
Here are the key details:
What happened: I logged into a fake website linked from a fraudulent “TenZ live” stream offering free Valorant skins.
Result: The attacker changed the email address on my Riot account.
Current status: I cannot log in because verification codes go to the attacker’s email.
What I still have: My original username and password, and proof of the fake stream (screenshot attached).
Please help me recover my account and restore it to my original email.
