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: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198122827285

    Victim profile: 76561198045301480

    What happened? Description:
    He tried using the "item verification" scam. He had been on my friend's list for some time. I hadn't talked to him in a while, so I'm not surprised he tried it on me. Throughout the trade, I was checking his steam rep and the unverified report, and when he brought up the item verification, it set up a red flag. I questioned him about it and he didn't let up. I made an empty offer to "not report" him, but I was planning to anyway, not sure if that implicates me for anything. He ended up removing me. No items were traded. I could not get the "Do not tell your password to anyone" in there. Also, please try to ignore that vulgarity. Hopefully this is enough.​

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your activity - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in anyway!

    Even if removed you can still see Activity.... I believe you reported the wrong user based on what I see.

    Quick question, if I can show you his status while I was in chat with him, would that prove that he was my friend at the time?

    Because at the time of this report and at the time of this reply, my activity tab shows nothing.

    Some way to verify you were in fact chatting with this exact user. So you can readd them back if they accept the last few lines of chat may be visible at which you can mouse over their profile image on the chat box to show the popup - so long as the last few lines of chat match what was on the screenshot of chat provided.

    Ah I see. He's already banned for fraud. I should have been sure of who I was reporting. Sorry again, dumb mistake on my part.

    Wow. He was banned for a LOT. I should have checked this more. I feel stupid now.

    This won't get me rep banned, will it?

    Be more careful on who you accuse here - even a pending report against someone is a serious thing.
    I'm archiving report.
