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.

    This guy just adds me out of the blue asking if I "sell unnusuals" and, well, just read the chatlog in the image or in the box below. There were warning signs everywhere.

    • Broken English
    • Brazilian
    • "i have 200$" <- very vague comment
    • Account made in 2011.
    • Nothing but F2P Games on profile.
    • 4 clearly-fake rep comments on profile ("Nice trade, unusual flame for 220$ thanks !")
    I think this at least warrants a caution tag, but I'll let the admins decide for themselves. I'm not taking any chances though.

    Code:
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: Hello, what did you add me for?
    Sr.Bisteca: you sell unnusuals ?
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: mhm
    Sr.Bisteca: i have 200$
    Sr.Bisteca: for buy unusuals
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: mhm
    Sr.Bisteca: you have unusuals ?
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: Do you have any SourceOP rep?
    Sr.Bisteca: i have rep page
    Sr.Bisteca: http://steamcommunity.com/id/srbisteca/
    Sr.Bisteca: view
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: lol
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: nice try, dude
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: you're full of s✿✿✿
    Sr.Bisteca: ?
    Sr.Bisteca: You crazy ?
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: "I have $200" with private BP, four fake comments on steam profile and nothing but free games on your profile?
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: yeah rigth
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: right*
    Sr.Bisteca: fake coments ?
    Sr.Bisteca: lol
    Sr.Bisteca: ok, bye
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: Reporting you.
    Sr.Bisteca: Reporting for what ?
    Varren [The Goddamn Hatman™]: Attempted scam.
    Sr.Bisteca: scam ?
    Sr.Bisteca: lol
    Sr.Bisteca: Reporting yor, for false, acusatio

    Oh, here's something I forgot to mention. He made a post in one of my Unusual trades and randomly offered $100 for my N&B Ballcap (which is like over 2x my asking price) but only if I "send the first unusual".

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/6937293 (hidden comment at the very bottom).

    I think this just confirms what I had already suspected: Scammer, or at least a hopeful scammer.

    Certainly it's shady

    An SR admin will investigate this in a while!
