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.

    Description:

    Okay, I'm sitting in TF2-T's number 1 server, when out of the blue a user called 'Addestarmento' trades me asking to buy my buds, I state that it would depend on the offer, and when he said steam cash I just brushed it off stating I wasn't interested. However, a few seconds afterwards I started to think, and realised directly sending steam cash to other users isn't possible.

    With this, I looked for the user through steam, and found his profile, now under the different username 'EMENIKE!!!!' He accepted my friend request, and was initially suspicious, asking me if I thought he was a scammer. However after I told a white lie or two he trusted me and we proceeded with what he called a regular and safe trade.

    The basis for his trade is that he will tell me when the steam funds have been transferred, and then I was to gift him the earbuds. I went along with this, asking how much he will pay, to which he replied 'how about $100?' well, sounding far too good to be true I happily led him on, expressing my excitement at being paid three times the going price for 1 earbud. He requested I add my bills hat, just to make it fair, so of course, I happily obliged.

    The screenshots tell the rest of the story really. I came clean about leading him on, and almost immediately he closed the trade and deleted me. He is now currently playing under a different username, however I took his profile link and TF2 hours in all four of the screenshots, so I doubt he can hide from this one!

    Conclusive notes:

    I've tried my best to make a full and concise report, unfortunately I closed the chat so I am unable to paste it in plain text, however, every screenshot contains the full chat within it at a relatively high resolution, so it should be readable.

    Thanks for reading the report, hope this guy gets what's coming to him!
