unknown secondary broken acc

[sixx]

i got a warning trade ban and it told me to move all my stuff to a different acc so i traded it to my friend's acc but it went to a weird alt acc that he doesnt know. the animated pfp is frozen, its level 0, and when i search up the name (its the exact same as his real acc) it only pops up with his actual acc. is it normal for there to be a secondary acc like this that steam makes or is it just a bug. cause i traded a knife and a couple of other things i would like back.

Unfortunately your account is compromised and you fell for a scam - scammed items are not returned

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
3. Change passwords from a trusted/clean computer.
4. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

You allowed your account to be shadow-hijacked and were then baited into making a trade which you confirmed where the scammers were impersonating your intended recipient. Doing the steps provided above is critical.
