    What happened? Description:
    I was messaged by one of the people on my friends list https://steamcommunity.com/id/NothingButTheBest/ ,name ROSE.Ursula Senpai ♥. Telling me that I won a gift of 200$ and he would paypal it to me. I agreed. He then added me on discord and did to screenshhare to "prove" that he wasn't lying. All he needed was my steam username and the steam auth code. He then told me to add another person named DeltaSpy https://steamcommunity.com/id/mattpeaced/. He asked me what I valued more my items or my taunts. Then he told me to accept the offer of giving him 3 of my unusuals or he would hack my account. I didn't believe him so I blocked him and then my account was reset. I had notified steam support and they helped to get my account back. He was also trying to scam some of my steam friends on skial, but they know I wouldn't give them money just like that so they went on their discord and told everyone to block me for now. Most likely he was using the name ROSE.Ursula Senpai as an alias while the real account was Delta Spy. I'm not sure if that was a stolen account as well. He threatened to delete my account if I told anyone. If you can catch this guy it would be a great help to the community, I just didn't realize it was that easy to take someone's account in steam.​

    Sorry not enough evidence of any scam here - you cropped it way too much. We need FULL screenshots.
    Also we don't review evidence thru discord.
    I'm going to invalidate it however since it was hijacking related.
