    Description; Random add. Sent me a very confusing message in broken English which painted themselves as a Steam representative. Sent me a trade request which I rejected. After insulting them a few times, I blocked them and removed them from my friends list.

    I know they're already listed as a scammer, but figured I should file a report anyway in case they try to appeal. If this was unnecessary, please let me know, and thank you for your time.

    No, reporting is never unnecessary. They can add it to his list of scams.
    Thank you for taking the time to make this report :)
