There have been reports of users impersonating me on Steam and Discord, which sometimes involves a phishing attack (a fake Steam support thread directing users to contact "Alan Edwardes Official" on Discord).

This is not me - here's some tips for spotting a scammer:

  • I will not communicate with you via Direct Messages on any platform

  • I am alanedwardes (previously Alan Edwardes#3608) on Discord, and only communicate via discord.gg/estranged and the Steam forums for the Estranged games

  • If you are added by a Discord profile with my name, it is an impersonator, and the account should be reported to Discord Trust and Safety via https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

  • If you are added by a Steam profile with my name, it is an impersonator, and the account should be reported to Steam Support via https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4D07-D139-587C-2080

  • I do not work for Valve (Steam), and will never ask for account passwords, or money (I will not send a direct message to you in the first place)

Here's a short message from Alan Edwardes (Liam Jones ???), explaining the situation:

Stay safe!
