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 found a guy on a trade server selling skyrim. I opened a trade with him, and offered him 10 keys + 7 ref. He accepts, but tells me he has to buy the game first. He reopens the trade, and says that he can't add the gift to the trade due to the "traffic" caused by the summer sale, and therefore has to directly gift it to me upon purchase. He proposes I give half the price, then he gifts the game, and i pay the rest. We exchange evidence of being trustworthy: i show him how i gave back 3 games from a 4 pack, shown by a comment on my profile, and he link me to this guy by the name of Popcaps(see chat log), who i add and talk to. Popcaps assure me he is a trustworthy trader, so I accept the 50/50 proposal, and give the guy 5 keys and 4 ref. Immediately after trading, the guy changes his username and leaves the server he was playing on. Also, popcaps magically changes his name and leaves tf2. I never end up getting my game and lose 5 keys in the process.

    Popcaps's account:

    Sorry for being so late. The guy changed his name again, and i just took the screenshot. I paid him and he never gave me anything. He also removed me from his friends list.
