    What happened? Description:
    I was randomly added by 2 scammers (or perhaps a single person with running both accounts). The first person, SquidOfPixels , claimed that they had accidentally reported my for duplicating items in Team Fortress, and to contact an "Admin", whom he linked and requested that I friend. After adding this "Admin", by the name of Marina, they claimed to be Valve Employee. They then proceeded to threaten me by deleting my account if I did not prove that my items were not duplicate, even sending me a GIF of them preparing to delete my account.​

    Hello good day.

    [10:00 AM]
    Slib:
    Hey, I was told to add you by a user named SquidOfPixels, because he reported me for duping items or something? I'm really not sure what he's on about

    [10:00 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Give me a sec , I will check your steam account status

    https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....431/4AC3B12E55A03DB0583074ED05879E20FC7C6B57/

    I have noticed that you have a pending deleting account report issued on your profile, random user(s) reported you for having duplicated items.

    [10:02 AM]
    Slib:
    Mhmm

    [10:03 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Are you aware that if you cant prove yourself here that your item is in good condition your account will be deleted on steam permanently?

    [10:03 AM]
    Slib:
    ?

    [10:07 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    All you need to do here is to make an appeal and prove that your item is in a good condition and it was a false accusation so that I will cancel the pending deletion in your account is that clear?

    [10:08 AM]
    Slib:
    Sounds like a scam to me my dude

    [10:08 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Do you check my proof here?

    https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....895/99EF9930D2AF3D24C3823E7EDE00E00E7FAFB7EB/

    [10:14 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Excuse me?

    [10:19 AM]
    Slib:
    Pardon?

    [10:20 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Like I said, All you need to do here is to make an appeal and prove that your item is in a good condition and it was a false accusation so that I will cancel the pending deletion in your account is that clear?

    [10:20 AM]
    Slib:
    Which item?

    [10:25 AM]
    Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ:
    Items involved: All Unusual items
    The majority of the reports includes your unusual items, there was no specific unusual so we might have to check all of it, are we clear?

    @Slib Left out the other users info...lucky for me I was able to get it from the copy/pasted chat logs and the custom URL wasn't changed.
    | steamname: Mᴀʀɪɴᴀ
    | steam3ID: [U:1:128489119]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:64244559
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198088754847
    | customURL: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MarinaService
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198088754847

    When you make a report here include EVERYTHING and anything there is involved or mentioned!
    Were you just randomly added by this user you reported as in very recent?
    Also just so you know that apparently this user was community banned already...not sure reporting them here would do much more good. User was likely hijacked/compromised so I may not issue them a tag.
    I however have already tagged the Marina user.
    Just answer the question and I'll prob just mark accept and leave as is since Valve has already acted upon the account.
