What happened? Description:

I was playing league when suddenly I get a message from steam. It was Hideyoshi, a friend I met on a tf2 server telling me that I somehow got marked as a scammer. He told me he already made an appeal for me at steam support and then sent me a link to a "moderator" or "admin" or whatever he called it and said I should add him and talk about it with him. Before adding the guy I checked to see if he has the steam employee badge and checked the admin list. Obviously he didn't have the badge and wasn't on the list. He tried coming up with some lame ass excuse as you can see in the screenshots. He told me that he needs to verify my items, trying to seem professional about it. I kept asking him about why he isn't on the list and then I got blocked by him. Hide was still on my friends list while that happened so I thought he might've been hijacked. The following day I checked my friends list, noticed he isn't there, checked his acc and found out that he blocked me as well. Sadly I can't get the chat, but I can show that he blocked me and left a comment on my account.​

meant that I can't get the chat back up again to verify the identity

this is the account they saent me to
https://steamcommunity.com/id/AshiML/
it is already marked as a scammer on steamrep
I've added him in the last couple of months on an idle server, we met there a few times but didn't talk often
I don't remember if I reported hideyoshi's account or the impersonator's
hope this helps

okay, lesson learnt about sutom urls
I mean, it did seem weird that he'd attempt to scam, it always feels weird when people do that, but I do not think they were hijacked because first off, why would he only do it to me from all the other ppl on his friend list and why would he come back to hideyoshi's account just to block me
and about the way he typed, i'd say it was close enough to how hideyoshi used to type. Also, after he left that comment on my account, I did invite him to have a chat and clear things up, and to this moment, i'm still blocked by him

I did not report it as hijack, no

i did it right now

in case there's anything else you need, i'll come back tomorrow, i have to go in a bit

hey, I got some news, he added me, we talked, he kept denying some stuff, like blocking one of my friends after they called him out, he was trying to change subjects and in the end he admitted it but did it with a pretext like "just so you stop annoying me"
