What happened? Description:

Added me impersonating people called "Steam gaming production team". Said I needed to trade all my items over to him for inspection of them being "Scammed keys". He also has said he was a part of the steam rep team. I really don't know if this was a troll or something. I would rather new players not fall to this type of scam.​
