    I have been tagged as a scammer through being an alt account to the account for which did the actual scamming. This is my own account separate from the other one, the account that was banned as scamming was my brothers. I'm not quite sure what evidence I can provide to prove that though, hopefully my take of word would suffice. Didn't even know he had scammed till he mentioned gaining a scammer tag in one of the servers we play on and upon checking his outpost profile and then his steamrep I found out why, same thing happened on outpost about our accounts being the same because of the ip's. Not much we can do about it on our wireless internet, a lot of my siblings use our internet. Hope I can get this sorted soon :)

    Protip: Your word won't suffice.

    This is a rather common claim and an easy one to make. As such, you'll have to provide more evidence before you'll have a chance.

    Thought as much, I just wasn't sure what kind of evidence I could provide though.

    Sorry, I'll put a note on the profile that you are likely a brother account of the real scammer, but there's no way the community can tell the difference between you and your sibling. You could very easily give him access to your account, etc. It's unfortunate, but his bans extend to your account.

    Hello @ChaoZDance,

    Your appeal has been reviewed and it has been rejected for the following reason(s):

    - Cannot clearly differentiate your account from being an alternate or shared account with a scammer.

    Despite your appeal being rejected, it's recommended that you avoid future situations that might appear to be fraud with Steam trading. Sometimes people reported to Valve by its users can get their accounts trade banned by Steam Support.
