This account randomly added me and I looked at his account right away and obviously its a scammer. Screenshot of the account is the first photo in the link below (I will be constantly referring back to the link)

Decided why not accept the account and message it dumb shit. Took a screenshot of the chat that's the 2nd photo. They have a group too so I joined it so I can comment some more dumb shit (provided as the 5th screenshot). Tried going on the Steam chat of the group and saying some more dumb things but the setting of the steam chat prevents me from doing so :/ (check screenshot #6).
So eventually I decided what the hell, I'll go on the website in incognito. You go on the site and it spins through knives and "gives" you a knife (screenshot provided). Clicked on the button that says to sign in through steam, and it took me to steam log in page. The page looked legit, but I as you notice the URL you see it says "about:blank" , which should throw you off.
I was using incognito, so one can think that the steam login page didn't have my log in already because of that, but even if I browsed the site normally (not in incognito mode) and are already signed in through steam, then I would have received the same log in page. I "inspected" the page through the web developer tools, and what it gave me is visible in the last screenshot. As you can see, we are still in the realm of "dream-knives". Thus I (we) have been able to feel confident in stating that this is all a scam.
Thus my adventure came to and end as I had nothing else to do with this scam.

I really liked the last screenshot. If you plan on doing more stuff like this, here is a bit of inspiration

I've seen that, good stuff. Every now and then I will reply to spam email due to boredom

"Thus my adventure came to and end as I had nothing else to do with this scam." Except report and send all of your collected info to Steam I'd hope, for whatever good that actually does, my fellow neckian.

Even if the person is scum and a scammer?

Any pics can be faked. That's why there is a "no calling out" rule.

Going incognito mostly helps to not keep a record of your activities on your computer, not to hide you from the website. To hide yourself from the website owner, you need to use something like the Tor browser, disable cookies, and disable javascript.

That's a... good point. I think I did it mainly so that I wasn't already logged on to Steam
