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 was on a Trade Minecraft Server (RatedAwesome's Servers) and out of the blue this guy traded me 2 times(First time I was busy so I could not accept it). He asked me if I had any purple hats for sale I said no but I have this unusual and showed him then removed it after a minute. He then offered a Paint Bucket, nothing special about it whatsoever and it was 0.66 (Don't remember the exact color so might be more/less). I then told him the price was 15 keys and the user said this: "I am an admin for backpack.tf the prices there are wrong." I replied "Stop trying to scam me." after that the user canceled the trade and left the server luckily I took a snapshot before he exited the trade. I had 2 snapshots but the 2nd one I was not able to recover sadly so this is all I got for now.

    Hi there.
    Are those snapshots in actual size?
    If not, could you post the uncropped version of the first picture? This could help the investigation.

    I'm sorry I did have a snapshot that was full size but that was the snapshot that got lost, I'm still trying to figure out if I can retrieve it.

    Even if I can't get the a full size snapshot back you still have proof he was pretending to be an admin
