yeah, the second they said something about reporting me by accident and steam banning my IP I knew it was a scammer. Although I suspected it before, as I never had a random person message in in 20 years of using steam.
I had hoped to lure the scammer a little bit further and figure out what they wanted to do, but I got too excited and scared them. very sad
They were almost certainly going to tell you that if you didn't act then both of you would get banned then direct you to a fake Steam employee or fake website. It's interesting they randomly messaged you. Normally this relies on being done to friends.
