    Appeal description:
    Somebody had hijacked my account and began to attempt scamming my friends. I never actually did this; someone posing as a Valve employee (who was also using a friend's account they had hijacked as well) asked me for my "duped items," saying they were "illegal." I complied, and I must have clicked on some link or something, because even though I didn't give them my password, they got into my account and I had to file a Steam support ticket.

    CHAT LOG WITH SCAMMER AS THE INCIDENT UNFOLDED: https://imgur.com/gallery/uYpj9MP

    NOTE: After the last image in the chat log album, I was automatically signed out of my account and no longer able to access it (until I filed a ticket to Steam Support and they reset the account password and email address).

    If any further proof is required, I will add it in future posts to this thread.

    Thank you,
    (the real) Soviet Fireball​

    Also, I revised the evidence that was in the original appeal post (the first post in this discussion/thread) so that it would show up as pictures and not links to the image.

    Also, a friend of mine said that the scammer using my account had tried to scam them in nearly an identical way as I had been scammed. Here are the chat logs:
