    What happened? Description:
    They tried to impersonate a Steam/Steamrep admin saying that I was V.A.C. banned for duped items and that they needed a steam trade link to verify the items were not duped. I then called them out for being a scam and they proceeded to block me.​

    @Cosmo 4 Was this the only user you were involved with? If so how did you come about finding them or did they add you at random?
    Also you do realize the user was already banned/tagged at this time right? If not be sure to check users out better to avoid them in the future if they are already tagged/banned...not much more we can do to them here.

    Sorry, at the time that I was writing the user wasn't banned also my friends account appears to have been compromised by the scammer.

    Who is that user??
    That is who you should be reporting - not the one you did then
    You always report the FIRST user you were involved with in a scam event compromised or not.
    You/They are responsible for their account at all times.

    @Cosmo 4 You clearly abandoned the report - please don't submit them if you do not intend to keep up with them.
    I'll accept as is but you left out a user that was really responsible for the scam and that's a shame.
