    Yes, I am aware that my ban is unusual.
    But hear me out.

    It started as a small thing where this guy traded my friend, (He is accused of the same crime i am)
    He Impersonated a TF2Warehouse bot.
    When my friend believed his lie, He traded him most- to all of his Team Fortress 2 Items, Which was a good, 17 refined and some change.
    So when i heard about this, I wanted to be sure, I traded the man.
    Then i began to put all of my items into the trade, Making sure i look at the items i put in (My Highfive was uncraftible. And from past experience, TF2 Wh bots don't take uncraftibles)
    So i caught him red handed and Reported his violation.
    Then i traded my friend back, Seeing his items gone i needed to repair some damage, So i gave him a clean All Father, And a Gold painted Dashin Hashashin Without any pay, Because i felt his pain (Believe me, I've been scammed before. But that's another story.)
    Then my friend and i wondered how easy it is to fall for something like this,

    So we did the same thing, BUT instead of going through with the trade, We confess in mid trade. And we save the person from making that mistake, Because scamming like that is just for being huge tool.
    When I did this a few times. I was informed by someone that my steam rep was saying how i'm a scammer.
    Now. Here's the thing.
    YES. I did impersonate a TF2WH bot.
    NO. No trades were followed through, No items were taken (Ironically i asked the person if we could trade for real, But we didn't seem to find anything we both liked so it ended fast.)
    Although my Steam rep only mentions me being an impersonator it was for a GOOD Cause,
    I helped that trader to be more aware of what these people do.
    I helped my friend recover from his fall with one of these scammers.

    For me, It would only feel right for me to get a second chance.
