I may be wrong but they ask for that ONLY on a support ticket. Not on chat.
Why they asking that? You made a ticket?

Yeah I just give him my purchase detail, but I'm suspicious when he ask about phone number

He can hijack your account with purchase details. He will probably make a ticket and offer the details as proof of ownership.
Comment has been collapsed.
I hope you did not give him too much info, if it's only one purchase he may not be able to do that,
Maybe it's best to report him as scammer.

Block him. If you did nothing like that then you should not listen. They are scaring you to get you personal info.

Ten hours later, and the link is still there. sigh
Do not "call out" a specific user in the forum (or in giveaway descriptions). The place to do that is in a Support ticket. Remove the link immediately and take a warning. Also, edit your OP so that it does not cite a specific person. If you do not take care of these things before I get back, I will be forced to suspend you.
I also suggest you read the Guidelines and FAQ carefully so that you know what is expected of you.

Yeah probably back in the loop to catch the new Steam users as they wont know about it. Probably due to a recent influx of Steam downloads due to the shut-ins.

I reported a COMMENT a week ago and I received a message days later saying some kind of thx for the report (the guy actually got some kind of ban). First time happened to me and I usually report those, so there is hope D:!

steam does not and never will use another steam account to contact you.
Comment has been collapsed.
If it's real, they'll find another way to contact you. I wouldn't give him anything.
Report him and we'll see, if he's support ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
support would never contact you via chat, they said it everywhere.
don't trust avatar images... it's the easiest way to impersonate people.
the guy is community banned, he's a scammer.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is 100% a SCAM, please report the profile then block them.
Here is a link to the Steam rep site: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561199034694368
It shows they created the account yesterday and they are "community banned"

totally scam....phone number, email number is the primary info they try to collect before stealing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Man. you are too old to fall in this trick. Hellboy (or the person who stole his account) tryed to pull this trick to me too. I didnt bite. He told me to add this Paul Smith or my account will be banned
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I know, I just been stressed lately with college, that why I kinda lost myself today with this situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, steamDB shows that this "Paul" has a community ban for now. So no more scamming from this profile.

Def a scam as GarionX said.
Anyway. some wanker tried to scam me through a friend and (I hope she was sincere about helping me). So I talked to him and he asked for a screenshot of my purchases. I said most are from HumbleBundle, so tell me what's wrong. I reported him to Valve, they did the best thing ever... Trading ban for a week or so.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I know that guy who reporting me,we trade together. He ordered me to add the scammer to stop the report. So I though I'm doing something wrong here, but it getting suspicious when the scammer ask about phone number.
So now my guess is his account already being stole by the scammer, so the scammer using this guy account to stole another account on his friend list.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah and he admitted his account being stole https://www.steamtrades.com/go/comment/zzJqHfj
