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: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198148924318

    Victim profile: 76561198042187189

    What happened? Description:
    Well, this man decided to add me, and we started talking for a bit and we both decided on a price for my unusual. He told me he would go get the pure and he will "Be right back" So after he came back he told me that it would be a while for him to get the ear buds and that he needed "assurance" that i wouldn't sell it to anyone else. So, he came up with the idea that i should give my unusual to a friend to make sure i would't sell it. So after back and fourth arguing and me declining and telling him no, i closed the chat and removed him. He sent me a message saying "Wait" and added me back, so i added him back to see if he would just wait. So he told me "I have a steamrep admin" and he invited an obvious fake, because i looked at his recent name changes and he had not a single TF2 item. So i said in the group chat, "You know how i can tell this is clearly a scam?" and after i said that he kicked the fake Rep Admin and me, then he removed and blocked me. I dont have all of the chat logs anymore because i closed out of the chat which i explained earlier, but i do have a few messages if it helps.

    I've also included a screen shot of the "Rep Admin" of his profile. I'll provide ID's below

    I was too lazy to make a report myself but he JUST tried this same scam on my friend and I. He copied my name and profile and tried trading my friend but we were in a call so we knew. This MAY be his main account: http://steamcommunity.com/id/insanelittle77 The only reason I suspect this is because he commented on the scammer's account with +rep and an overly generous reason. Also he is friends with the scammer account. My friend couldn't get his friend that tried to be me sadly.
