It's going to get reported and found by Steam pretty quickly. Steam already holds onto the money from sales for 2 weeks in case they need to issue a refund. Once they discover the scam, which will take less than a week, they won't hand over any of the money.
And in a case like this, I think steam would refund everyone who made a purchase regardless of if they requested it
