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.

    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198135107908 (Lagmaster)

    Appeal Plea: I am innocent of all listed offenses
    Appeal Reason: [Accounts] Hijacked - My account was abused by hijacker
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:

    Appeal description:
    I'm looking to appeal a report of my account for scamming other users. On Friday January 4, 2018 my account was stolen by a possibly hijacked friend's account. (Detenog) I'm still unsure if the scammer originated from Detenog's account, but considering they immediately tried to steal another user's account (SirSwag), I doubt they did. Plus, Detenog's account is a two year old account.
    The user messaged me and used scare tactics and some sleep deprivation at the time to convince me to copy and paste an authentication code. I have no excuse for doing this except being anxious about a possible incoming ban and being tired.

    I've included the whole conversation between me and a friend. (Donut) The conversation ends at image 4 with me regaining my Steam account. I also have another page or two of Discord dialogue I'm going to include for further help towards my case. The only reason I decided to appeal my ban now was because I noticed I wasn't able to enter a certain TF2 server.

    If you are claiming hijack you must provide proof.

    The user who I messaged was called Detenog, but I think the account got removed after I filed a report to Steam Support 1.PNG 2.PNG 3.PNG 4.PNG .

    That isn't proof of anything - We will need full screenshots of Steam support ticket that you submitted to recover the account and where Steam support clearly verifies you were compromised during that time.

    Unless someone posts asking for more then no - just avoid bumping the appeal from here on out...again I'm just requesting things I'm not the one to make the final decision on this appeal.

    Hello. I'm unable to grant this appeal, since we do not consider willingly giving out your credentials to another Steam user to be a form of hijacking.
    You are at all times responsible for your account and any actions by it; this is Valves stance, and this is also our stance.

    If our policy changes, and only then, you will be welcome to make another appeal.
    Appeal denied.
