Unable to trade for 33226 days (91) Years

So apparently I cannot trade since it says "You recently changed the email address associated with your Steam account. In order to protect the items in your inventory, you will be unable to trade for 33226 more days.

 

Is this some glitch or something? Cause I haven't change my email address at all. I also find this funny.

Must be a recent glitch however someone suggested these sensible steps just in case:

 

 

 

It's a security protection, when you or a hacker has changed the email associated to your Steam account.

33226 days would however be around 91 years...
That's most likely an integer wrap-around glitch in coding or database.
It would be like 2^32 Unix time.

Anyways, check under your Steam > Settings.

Ensure your contact email is correct, if changed ensure your account isn't hacked or been left logged into a public computer such as the netcafe, etc.

Make sure your security status is "Protected by Steam Guard", if not enable this.

Check login IP history, kick all except your own.

Scan your PC for any malware, use a program like Spy Bot to perform a full scan:

(you should also have a realtime virus scanner + firewall)

Finally, contact Steam Support about the issue (explain clearly, anything your noticed and the steps you have taken to try resolve it):
