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.

This account appears to have been used for fraudulent activity.

    So my 15000$+ backpack is at risk here. My account has been restricted from doing an further accounts including trading. In a way it is a trade ban. https://gyazo.com/97a6f2308f3fd804fdf6c17500eb9a63

    Story: A user sent me a trade offer stating him and his friends respected me and wanted to give me a gift. He was clean on SR, so I accepted it and in return I sent him back a key as a token of my appreciation.https://gyazo.com/baffac90318627b64471f5cf14ec4940 He then sent me another offer of his items for 32 keys claiming he needed tradable keys in which I accepted. At least one other user I know about has also been trade banned for trading with the suspected user. Most likely this Trade Ban was the result of the suspected user sending me a gift as it was the same case scenario as the other victim.https://gyazo.com/240cdbf1d04e26608b6a03f33a11a241 Well guys RIP me for now. Even if someone is nice enough to give you a gift, be careful who you receive it from. It may be seen as a scam. Am I permanently trade banned? Probably not (I hope). Discussing with Steam Support atm.

    He wasn't "nice enough to gift you the item", he was probably dumping fraudulent items to random people and you got a Fraud ban by Valve / Steam Support like all the other accounts where those items were traded from too. The account/user you traded with or allegedly got a one-sided trade as a random "gift" it's an obvious alt account used to launder carded/hijacked items.

    As stated above already only Steam Support can help you with your Fraud banned Steam account.
