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: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198127724897

    Victim profile: 76561198025683997

    What happened? Description:
    This guy added me on Steam and asked if I were trading my knife for keys or items. I told him that I preferred skins, but it depended on how many keys he was offering.
    He then offered 45keys, which I aggreed to.
    Then he asked for any kind of proof that I wasn't going to trade the knife to another person after he bought the keys. I then gave him my word, that if he said Deal, then I'd refuse to trade my knife to any other persons.
    Then he asked for a kind of assurance.
    I asked what he meant.
    He asked if I had a personal friend whom could hold the knife until, while he was getting the keys. What he asked didn't make sense at any point, since it was a fried of me, and not an "official" middleman.
    Besides, I have seen this type of scam many times before, where the scammer then creates a fake profile of one's friend, and asks to trade the knife to that profile. So I "busted" him. He then deleted me from his friendlist without any explanation. Enough proof if you ask me.
