Is this some kind of new type scam

Someone accidentally added me as a friend, sent me a picture and said i bought their knife but not receiving the money and said they already reported me and want me to send a email to [e-mail]

Yes it is a scam. Block and ignore these people.

it's obvious right with the given e-mail address. Why would Valve use gmail if they have their own domains?

Why even accept random friend invites?

right off the bat, without you even having to ask, any so called email address what ends with gmail, hotmail, yahoo, or any of the free email, then you can usually suspect it is going to be a scam, as a company like valve won't use any of the free email accounts
