isn't it obvious?
Ok so this might be a super elaborate scam lol

A Steam friend contacted me about he wrongly submitted a ticket reporting me as scammer and when he contact Steam again about the mistake, customer service told him that there's nothing they can do about the banning process. And I have to contact this Steam profile to explain this matter so my account won't be banned.

I will provide screenshots to our chat history later.

Don't bother with screenshots. This is not a new type of scam.

Also report your friends account for being compromised. This will help stop the hijacker on your friends account from doing this to others.

Its a normal user account who edited everything possible. Real Valve users have things on display you do not have access to as regular user. Like a valve icon for example.

irrelevant. No interaction between you and Valve will ever include another account. All interactions will be between you and steam support. Which will direct you to the ticket system

It's a very common scam, steam Support never talk to you through friend chat nor discord, your friend fell for that scam and the scammer is using their account to try to get you to fall for it too
