The only way they could get access to your steam account is if you send them the confirmation code you receive in your e-mail, you can't access someone elses Steam without it unless you know their e-mail credentials too.

just so we're clear, is there essentially no way that your account could get compromised if you refuse to give these guys any of your credentials like passwords or email?

yeah pretty much, if u already know about the methods and don't give any info to the chat or even to a site they link then ur gonna be fine. and also to not enter ur password on a site that almost convincingly looks like it's steam from a link too is another i've heard of
