What happened? Description:

Through either himself or a friend they impersonated a steam employee(i know now they dont contact users) The account accused above(Ciwecyha) impersonated my alt account and a trade offer was engaged. I am currently at home sick with fever, so my thought proccess is not spot on.

The one impersonating a steam employee wrote to me and sent me what looked like a case file with report about my knife being stolen before i traded it. The items would then be needed to be transfered to another account, this is where my alt account come in. The trade offer was created to what looked like my alt account. I thought nothing of it and accepted. Read above, home sick.

      2. - If you do not transfer items to another account, they will be deleted and your account will be permanently locked in the VAC and Trade system.
      3. - You must send the trade offer to a friend account or your backup account [In case you have an additional account].
      4. - The recipient cannot use your in-game items for "sales, deals, gifts" during the investigation period.
