I got this message:

Automated Message System Hello,

It's Valve Corporation (https://support.steampowered.com), we have identified two or more ips logging on to this account.
This may be due to a hacker. In order to verify your account information, we will need your Steam login and password in
the following format: Username-Password. If you do not verify your account now, it will be permanently banned.

Best Regards,
Valve

All in blue, of corse with the /me command. The avatar was a steam icon. But of course this is just a hacker. Of course I didn't gave my logon and password. But I post here because I hope someone can trace this person and ban him, or punish him on wathever way.
Some of my friends got the same message, from the same person I guess.

I don't know where to go with this type of messages to Valve, so I post a message here.

Or just report user misconduct (from "report violation" menu).

It seems nothing's been done about it. I had a message from this guy 2 hours ago and I also reported (before someone mentions it).

No idea how they managed that, but that guy is joining my groups and scamming all my friends. Probably a bot, but I have no idea how they manage to send messages but never be logged in.
