    Upon further research, all these accounts seem to be part of a bot. I'm able to uncover a lot more accounts like these. Seemingly hundreds exist.
    Furthermore, some of the accounts seem like they may have been previous scam victims.

    Seems their program runs ESEA on each of the accounts & scans for users with valuable items in their inventory.
    Once someone accepts the bots friend request, a real person attempts to scam. Possibly more than one person managing this system.

    Was able to get their site a dangerous warning on chrome :)

    Here's a urlscan of the website with more information about their scam website & screenshots from previous scans
    https://urlscan.io/result/6c26f759-f135-4084-a642-03c19a8ac28c/

    Probably a lost cause.
    Uncovered a massive amount of accounts & many more scam websites.
    Reported findings where I could... but wow.

    Maybe even up to 100 domains tied to this specific scam

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/investigative-policy.140101/

    This includes anything to do with API key requests, wrong or misspelled URL's and sites requesting logins of any type in attempts to steal your credentials.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!
    This was clearly noted to you BEFORE You sent to submit the report - please do not ignore our policies/notifications that are there to read before submission.

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    On another note - we do NOT review evidence not hosted to there report nothing linked thru imgur etc is acceptable.
    I've removed all the other accounts you stated were alts but we do not accept reports accusing others of being alts and you have no proof of such therefore they are removed to avoid innocent users being subjected to this report.
