1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    I went on a bit of a scamming spree back in the earlier days of tf2 trading (years ago at this point). One day, I got caught, reported to steam, and lost my entire account. I sent in a support ticket to steam regarding it, they gave me back my account and warned me that if I did something like that again, the ban would be permanent. As punishment, I also had my entire backpack deleted. Flash forward to years later, my backpack is back and stronger than even before- and this is through absolutely 0 non-legitimate trades.

    Fortunately, I was able to dig up my support ticket from way back when.

    Here, you can see a younger me trying to play innocent with a steam support rep. (Dang this is almost 3 years old)

    Needless to say, I'm pretty grateful for this second chance- I could have lost my entire steam account. My SteamRep ban is 100% fair, and ultimately deserved. Steam was forgiving enough to give me a another try, and I'd appreciate if SteamRep would be generous enough to do the same.

    What did you steal in your crime spree and have you returned the items to all victims?

    Unsure of what exactly I grabbed, but I know that festive crates/craft hats were involved for the most part.

    Returning the items wasn't possible, however. My backpack was deleted upon the account being returned to me.

    Seems like you have a backpack full of stuff right now - why can't you make it right to those you stole from now?

    I have zero idea who the people I stole from are.

    Looking back through my backpack history, It only goes so far back as October 2011.
