    I've recently been marked as a SR scammer on this account and I would like to pronounce my innocence. I've been accused for a fake middleman trade, and yes I created an alt called SRBot but truthfully, I had no idea what SR meant.
    The situation is quite awkward. So there is a person whose user is 76561198042636479 or Sssohn, and who has also been marked along with me. He lives in the same township as I do but is in the school above me (he goes to the highschool and I go to the junior high), and we happened to find a common interest in Tf2 trading one day when we met each other at a friend's birthday. At first, I was a novice trader but suddenly I was able to gain wealth excessively as sssohn and I had a partnership where I would pay him cash/items so he could liquidate his items when necessary.
    I've never dealt with paypal before, and actually got scammed out of a p fetti sultan's before when someone told me he would give me steam wallet money directly. Hence, I know nothing about online transactions other than in-game steam trades.
    So from then on, I'd just buy stuff from him using my allowance and here's the thing, he would sell me items cheaper if I did some favors for him. Some favors were real life such as giving him answers on homeworks (I'm in honors and he's sorta behind so we have the same curriculum) and other stuff, but some favors included stuff on steam (like giving him some metal or selling stuff for him). That was when one day, he asked me to change my name and create an alt using my email and give him full access to it. At first, I was very hesitant until he told me he would give me a p fetti birdcage for only 15 usd. Then, too eager to accept the deal to consider the consequences, I hurrily made an account before he could change his mind (before all this he told me to change MY account to SRBot but once I did it, i said no and changed it back).
    So his most recent scam apparently was 2 unusuals, 1 a stormy sultan's and a bubbling headwarmer. I paid 40 USD and black op's 2 (xbox) for both (granted, it normally would be around 120 for both). I placed BO2 as a down payment on Monday for it, and on Tuesday I forgot to bring the cash to the library so he raised the price to 40. THEN he told me that he was being marked and I might be in trouble. Since he gave me the unusuals already, I was pretty much forced to compensate the 40 usd even though I got marked in the end (I could've said no but getting ganged up on didn't seem like the best alternative).

    I have snapshots from facebook but sadly most of the talking went on steam where I wasn't suspicious enough to take snapshots of. The pictures with no profile picture was since september, showing that I've been paying him favors and cash at a steady rate since even September.
    Now consider, why would I pay so much money for unusuals if I was involved in the actual scamming. I had no idea what was going on and was too ignorant to tell that something was amiss.

    Besides impersonating SR Admin, SR community admin or SR Bot(which doesn't actually even exist, as far as i know) , trading with obvious scammer is also against SR policy.

    Thing is i didn't know he was scamming items until this happened.
    It wasn't obvious to me, since he just told me that he got it from his other friends.

    As far as the scammed items, I'm currently trying to return them but I've been returning the wrong things to the wrong people so I'm still working on it.

    Though I guess it is my fault for not further investigating into the situation but truth is I didn't know him enough to doubt the existence of his friends.

    Tag appeals are handled from the earliest to latest, and can take a couple of months before they are investigated; bumping the thread will not help to fast track things. Rest assured that ALL reports are ultimately investigated.

    Hello Lucky139,

    Your appeal has been reviewed and your ban will be reduced to CAUTION for the following reasons:
    • Time already served as banned for the offense
    • Lack of other reports against your account
    • Age of the appeal without admin response
    Keep in mind that being reported for further fraud while marked with CAUTION will leave you with much less benefit of the doubt. Be very careful and open/honest in your transactions, and keep good records of large transactions in case there are any disputes.
