This could do a lot of harm to Steam,they need to get ahead of this quickly.
Not really, Steam will refund the buyers, ban the seller, and keep the developer fee they paid. Scammers will be down $100 and everyone else will go on like nothing happened.
They're way ahead of you. They took care of it within an hour of it happening.
