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: 76561198160233510

    Victim profile: 76561198029772614

    What happened? Description:
    Added me after I bumped my trade of selling an unusual, I asked him why he added me and we started discussing it a little. I asked if he knew he was trade banned, he said yea and had an excuse that it was just a probation. It all seemed legit until he asked that I trade the item to a friend to see if it was duped. I know of that kind of scam, so when I brought up that he could just check the items history he was so intent that I send it to a friend. When I brought up that I knew of a scam like this he became really defensive. Then kept urging I send it to a friend. I kept saying he could just check the history to see if its duped but he refused to listen, and he said I lost, so I told him he did with his failed scam attempt and deleted him.​

    He just tried the similar trick with me. He said that he will be trade-unbanned after an hour, but a minute later he said, that he's getting the keys from his friend. He failed miserably.

    @AdamWTS, @cherokee., @JimBobWales

    PLEASE make your own report rather than putting images of the convo with you and the scammer in an existing report!

    Wouldn't it be simpler this way?; By the time this scammer thread reaches the tables, you'd have a lot of proof.
    I should be Sr admin or something :p

    It wouldn't be simpler, no. If we allow people to report in existing reported threads, it'll be a huge spam-fest mess. I'll be easier for us if people are making their own reports regarding the same person.
