it is a scam.

report your friends account as possibly compromised

I can make a picture of your account with a report on it too if you want.
Just need a pic how those reports look like to have a reference.

And you do not even need photoshop and the like, as you can directly alter the website in your browser.

I recently got an Illegal purchase report from one of my friends

I recently read a thread about not falling into these scams, but he sent me a picture of my account with a report on it.

Steam support does not send you chat images for official tickets.

This is where support tickets are sent to you...

Alright

Also, account alerts aren't embedded within official support tickets. They are their own separate thing.

⛔YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE COMPROMISED. SECURE IT WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS⛔

1️⃣ Scan for malware. You can download the free Malwarebytes here: https://www.malwarebytes.com/ (optional but recommended)
2️⃣ Deauthorize all other devices here: https://proxy.yuanyoumao.com/twofactor/manage
3️⃣ Change passwords from a clean computer
4️⃣ Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App here: https://proxy.yuanyoumao.com/twofactor/manage
5️⃣ Revoke/Delete the API key here: https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/dev/apikey (Domain name should be empty)

It always amuses me when the people that have trouble identifying a scam are supposed to do all these things in order to secure their account.
Yes, lets throw more links at them with things they most likely dont understand.

Just make them question the validity of these "reports."
Why would your friend get a message from Steam Support concerning your own account?
Why wouldnt Steam Support talk to you directly if there was such a report?
What does "illegal" purchase even mean and have you done anything even remotely close to making a purchase in the first place?

Relax and just think about it for a moment.
If your conclusion after thinking about this is that it doesnt make any sense then you would be correct.
Its fear mongering tactics in order to provoke you to make rash and unwise decisions.
