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] Steam Wallet fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198128730198

    Victim profile: 76561198128849475

    What happened? Description:
    He added me on Steam and basically said "Hey, I really love your Unusual Prince Tavish's Crown with Searing Plasma Effect, could you do $125 US Dollars for it?" I said sure, knowing that it was worth it but the problem is, I don't have Paypal. When I told him this, he said "That's fine, I know another way to get the money to you, I can gift it on Steam just like I can gift a game" I said "OK, I'm trusting you" he sent me a trade offer for my hat and said "The money will come in about two minutes." after those two minutes, he didn't send the money but instead, un-friended me and blocked me.

    I trusted this guy, he had a good rep on his profile but me not being smart, I didn't check any other places.

    I didn't know this guy at all, he just randomly added me and scammed me.

    I don't know what you can do, but if you get my hat back, I will be so grateful.​

    Sorry to say it, but your hat is gone forever, SR cannot get it back.
    Only valve can, try to report it to valve too.

    Meanwhile, provide full steam chat with the accused, expand the window before screenshotting it.
    In the part you have he promised you the $ but didn't tell which payments system was supposed to used for this.

    Do you have the rest of the chat? In what you provided, the terms of the payment are not disclosed.

    There's nothing I can do without the chat. This will be used as a reference later on in case they appeal their other offense(s).
