    What happened? Description:
    Item Checking with a Steam Official
    So one of my friends supposedly found a trade partner for one of my unusual, a Clairvoyance Tank Top, the accused later send a friend invite to me for us to discuss. Trade negotiation proceeded normally, then later led up to questioning if the unusual was safe and not bugged.
    Started to have doubt and played along to the point where he wishes to get a Steam Official to check my items. After awhile, he provided me a link to the "Official's" steam page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/FraudsPreventionDirector/
    Didn't take very long to see this was clearly a scam and I've closed communications afterwards.

    Also as I was writing this, he had changed his customURL, and his inventory is now privated.​

    You also need to disable images embed in steam chat - the one where user says check their inventory I can't tell what that link is. So do that now to prevent issues in the future.
    Lucky I was able to find more evidence on the users profile which you also failed to get.
    I'll review this again shortly
