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.

    What happened? Description:
    Posted a "Valve Report Assistance Team", threatening to ban my account over "Duplicated Items"... Friend said "i might reported you for duplicated items instead of someone else and the admin gave a warning about the ticket i send.
    I'm really sorry for this trouble i don't know what to do if you got banned"... Friended the person and the scam immediately started. Posted evidence on r/quityourbullshit and as a cloudapp gif.​

    @Skylon
    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide should you need assistance:

    I'm accepting as is but the other user apparently you can't prove you were ever involved with..and that was the user you should have reported to start with.
    Makes things majorly delayed and hard to investigate like this when its backwards.
