Your best bet would be to report that user on Steam (proof is a plus).
I'm just glad that you didn't fall for their trap.:)

The problem is. What kind of proof? Names? Screens? Videos?

So, I have a similar problem here. I find many scammers in steamgifts, but I don't know how to report them, since I'm not the one that have been scammed (it's a similar problem because I also didn't get scammed, but others did). Anyway, if you have a photo of the chat and the 2 steam profiles, that should be enough.

Sounds like one of these jokers...
It's always worth reporting scammers to Steam. You probably won't get stuff back if you have been scammed - Steam support has pretty much washed it's hands of that. But hopefully they will get trade banned on Steam, especially if they are impersonating a 'Steam administrator'.
It's also worth reporting to steamrep.com (and checking that site before making any trades) - although sadly the scammers will likely already have any number of alt accounts to switch to.
Beyond that, take screenshots and make sure you are reporting the unique Steam ID rather than the username which isn't unique and can be be changed.

Hello SG community, today I'm asking you what to do when a BIG scam happens.
No, I've not been scammed I just want to know what should I do.
Be aware, bad english incoming :(
So one day this dude that we will call Kenny adds me. Kenny wanted to trade my knife with his knife with a 2.50$ profit. It seemed quite legit. So he said things about Item Verification (which I've known It's a scam only AFTER the attempted scam happened).and adding an amministrator for checking if the knife was a dupe. I checked his profile and its id had more letters on it than the original. So i was sure he was a scammer.
TL;DR These 2 guys try to scam with with impersonification. What should I do? (They have stolen A LOT of knife, something like 40.000$)
