    This is NOT the first user you should be reporting - You basically reported the other user that was brought into the scam event. You must make sure from now on you report the FIRST user you were contacted by and who started the scam..you only need to reference any other accounts involved and describe HOW they were involved in the description by including the FULL SR profile block along with details of how they were involved.
    Also include any and all FULL screenshots you have as evidence.
    Please do not resubmit a new report - this one will do for now.

    Also keep in mind your friend again was the one you should have reported - HOWEVER this is super common for a hijacked account... you claim may have been stolen you shouldn't even be reporting here at all and only to Valve. We do not review hijacking reports no matter who its against!
    Report back asap and I'll watch to see what Valve does to the accused in the time being.

    And archived - the accused was community banned which stands to reason that this was used for hijacking accounts.
    In the future report things like this to Valve not here.
    Archived to prevent additional hardship upon the true owners of the accounts.
