What happened? Description:

Just last week, I was added by this player:
| steamname: TroLL Pumpkiin™
| steam3ID: [U:1:216625427]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:108312713

He claims that he wanted to trade for my Unusual Birdcage. However, due to my trade hold, I wasn't able to take up on his offer until today. He offered up 15 keys for my item, but however proceeds to hook me up with what appears to be a "Steam Employee" in order to verify that our items are supposedly "clean." The group discussion over what went down is shown in my Proof1, Proof2 and Proof3 screenshots. The Link the supposed "Steam Employee" in my Proof2 photo directs me to a trading screen with an Item Database bot, which clearly is used to steal my items.
The conversation with the player stated above is attached as well though, his profile is private and so I cannot validate his legitimacy.
The accused reveals himself to be a Steam Employee as well as a SteamWorks Developer as shown on his profile page which is clearly direct impersonation. The player I have tagged above are also at fault as it was him to put me in contact with this impersonator and so should both be equally accountable. They have attempted the 'Item Verification' scam and should be dealt with and prevent other vulnerable users from falling into their trap.​

To clarify further, the impersonator has also threatened me with a Steam ban if I did not comply to his so-called "rules." This is absolutely unacceptable.

That's understandable. This is my first, I didn't read the terms of conditions the whole way through. Apologies.
