Zachary WallToday at 6:52 PM
you add him? so that we can both ask him for assistance
AzurathToday at 6:53 PM
yes

I am aware, there is also a second account being used here to mock itself as a "Steam admin" would that also fit as it is probably the same person using both accounts? If so, should i use that account's info instead?

Thank you for the help, there is also the "Steam Validation Bot" being used to trade the items for validation however, when i try to find its profile, it says its "not found"
