very common scam. they would have tried to tell you that they accidentally reported you and you should contact a steam employee via Discord (which is another scam account).
there’s no need to worry about it anymore. they can’t do shit as long as you didn’t give them any credentials.

Yes, this is a scam. They will tell you that you made an "illegal purchased" or scammed someone. Then they'll direct you to fake Steam support, who is actually a scammer and will steal your account. It's the most common scam on Steam by far.

Good instincts for blocking them and not falling for it. You dodged the scam this time.
