As much as scamming is bullshit, let's not have these witch hunting threads...

getting others to help you report someone isn't going to speed steam support up, they deal with it when the time comes.

 

coming on GFL asking for help is a bad idea, adding next to no proof.. same as someone telling people to report you with out proof.

Just a small tip:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3415-WAFH-6433

Read the Steam trade scam faq. It'll help you out in the future. And like snoopy said, it's best not to do that. Because you can get warned for spamming the report button. It's their rules.
