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: [Accomplice] Alternate account of hijacker or scammer
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198131124799

    Victim profile: 76561197972304009

    What happened? Description:
    My brother traded this unusual to me to allow someone to "verify" something. I thought nothing of it, giving the item back to him when he asked for it, but it wasn't him. The Scammer Impersonated my brother completely, Mintos Gaming. A Scammer who was banned 48 days ago. Sadly I did not check steam rep as I thought it was my brother, and so the item was lost.​

    Provide Evidence:
    It is to my beleif that GG, the profile associated to Minos Gaming, is an alternate account used to scam people.​

    Do you have any more screenshots of the chat to prove the scam?

    That was all there was to the chat, nothing else sadly. If you want proof of item loss I could send screens of item history

    Adding on to previous reply, The guy did most of the chat on my friend's steam, and I am unable to send that, (due to him owning the account, the chat logs have been erased by now by steam, etc.).

    Side note, it was quite an interesting strategy
    I do applaud his strat.
    He set up an account to do the work, added the (fake) TryHard, did the trade, and I didn't even notice until it was too late.

    Chat is essential, but the user is already banned. If you give me your trade history, it will still serve as good evidence against the user incase of appeal.
    Please follow this guide for more information on how to collect evidence on inventory history.

    Thanks.
