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.

    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198065141902 ()

    Victim profile: 76561198105638548

    What happened? Description:
    I posted a trade on csgolounge.com in which I request 20 EUR or 27 USD for my AWP Redline StatTrak (FT). A couple of people responded, some obviously scammers, and then one guy:

    | steamname: Trade money + Knife :D
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:63822425
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198087910579
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Maqnataur
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198087910579

    added me and said that we will use a middleman to complete the trade. He agreed on the price, and agreed to use PayPal (see screenshot named "fraud_for_awp.jpg", there's my conversation with him). I checked him on SteamRep and his record was clean, then the guy named Alias added me. Later I found out that was not the Alias who is an official middleman, but some guy that presented himself as Alias.

    After the fake Alias said that the other guy sent him the money, I sent my AWP to him via trade window. After that they both went offline, removed me from their friends lists and I think blocked me.

    I checked their inventories and one of them even has a knife so apparently someone else has been scammed aswell. Please, take my report into account and mark them as scammers, so atleast people who check SteamRep.com before trading would be warned and perhaps scams would be prevented.

    I am open for any cooperation you'd like in order to help in the investigation.

    Best regards​

    The fake middleman got a trade ban from Valve. The look of his profile is completely changed.

    Checked on SteamRep aswell, he may have changed username and URL but his SteamID64 is the same

    Please review this report, both scammers have VAC bans, their profiles are now private, and the fake middleman still has a Valve trade ban.
