    Description:
    This guy added me and said I committed a crime, and I need to give him my account password. I
    immediately knew this was a scam, and took this screenshot of the chat. He is disguised as Steam VAC, and is obviously trying to acquire your in-game TF2 items. Thanks for the help!

    We made additional notes about it and always make a report, even if the person is marked, so we can track how many people he's tried to scam.

    I also recommend going to the fake account's Steam profile page, pressing Report Violation, select User Misconduct, and state he is impersonating a Valve employee. Thanks! :)
