    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198021902303 (Marbo)

    Appeal Plea: I committed the offense(s), I admit it
    Appeal Reason: [Change of Heart] I will never scam again.
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:
    I dont use any other accounts for that.​

    Appeal description:
    I have been banned for giving a link to a ''free game'' site of which i thought it was real at the time, it said you needed to link it to x people to get free stuff so i linked it to just one of my steam friends which i added for TF2 trading. For this he reported me. I do agree that this was fair but i do not agree with having the Scammer tag and not being allowed on certain servers because of steam rep.
    I wouldnt repeat what i have done as i know see that these sites are fake.​

    If your story of a "link to x people" scam site were true, we'd see some kind of referral code in the screenshot we received, or at minimum a personalized link. Without such a code or personalized link, the scammer running said email harvesting pyramid-referral scam would have no way to differentiate your links from the next person's. The chat screenshot pictured in your report (attached for reference) exhibited no such personalized referral link. Rather, it displays what looks like a misspelled Steam domain, and your reporter even stated they were greeted with a fake login page. Explain?

    Appeal denied for lack of follow-up, and for lying.
