    An old account that I had a while ago that I have abandoned is UnusualGibus1337. I do not remember why it's trade banned, it was banned around the time I was still in middle school. I have the profile privacy settings set to public, but trade banned accounts have their inventories forced to private.

    Appeal description:
    Hi, I had previously appealed and was told to try again in a year. It's been a bit longer than a year but I hope that I can still appeal.

    The alts I have are "slurppp" (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198270711812) and "UnusualGibbus1337" ( https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198222160516)

    Other accounts I have in my household are "Tasha" (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198450001138) and "~PastelCookie~" (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198348356418). They both belong to my sister and have nothing to do with me otherwise.

    "slurppp" is my primary account used for gaming, while "UnusualGibbus1337" is an old account that I had several years ago and abandoned. I don't know why it's trade banned since I was still in middle school when I was using this account. I've logged on once or twice since then, just to see what I had and my game stats, but yeah, I hadn't actually *used* this account for a while.

    My scam involved sending an offer to them and pretending that my item, an uncraftable batter's helmet, was actually a unique batter's helmet, which is worth a lot more. I tried this scam attempt on a bunch of people, though these were the two people that it worked on. I've apologized and paid the victims of my scam back with nearly the exact items I stole from them, as seen in the attached photos, though one of them specifically asked for me to trade their items back to their alternate account, which I did. I also replaced two fabricators with a case worth about 40 cents on the steam market; the victim (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199007763615) was fine with this replacement.

    Something to note about one of the victims I repaid (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198982040097), I attempted to add them with the account I scammed them with, and was blocked. I added them with an alternate account and left a comment on their profile to explain myself. The comments were deleted by the victim, though I still have the chatlog, which is included as "Six.jpg"

    I'm genuinely sorry for what I did and hope that I can be forgiven, as I have an interest in trading again and playing on community servers. I was being stupid and wanted easy profits.​

    Hello,
    Provide screenshots of your inventory history showing the repayments in question. In addition, you say you tried to scam many people; how many do you think, on average?

    In addition, you must provide the full complete chats discussing repayment that you had with these victims, what you posted does not look like the entire conversation.

    Hi, here's my inventory history. I really can't say for sure how many people i sent offers to, this was two years ago. All I remember was sending several offers to people in the tf2 trading forums with the batter's helmet and the fake link attached. If I had to guess an average, I would say maybe half a dozen? I'm sorry that I can't give a more concrete number.

    The chat messages I attached were indeed the entire conversation. It may seem like it's not the entire thing because I commented on their profiles when trying to add them, which I included as a file upload to. It was the comment I posted (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199007763615). I would also show the other comment, but they (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198982040097) deleted it.

    I don't know if it helps, but I logged onto the steam client instead of the browser and got the chat logs from there, which I also attached.

    Also, "bred" and "The Almighty Loaf" are the same person. They just changed their name and profile picture in the time between my initial post and this one.

    Have you ever contacted Steam Support about the trade ban on 76561198222160516?

    I probably have in the past. This ban happened around seven years ago. I opened a new support ticket a few days ago to see if I can get more details but so far I haven't gotten a response.

    While I was logged on to the account, I checked its trade history which I included in case you wanted it. Nothing really looks like a scam except for one where I got a dead ringer for nothing in return. I remember adding this person and asking them about it a while ago, where they said that they don't remember getting scammed and didn't report me, so I don't know.

    I'll be finishing up this appeal in the coming days. FYI, wanting to be unbanned only because you want to trade freely is NOT a valid reason to grant an appeal, nor would we grant one for such.

    Okay, that's understandable. But I also wish to play on community servers if that matters.

    After a review, I will not be granting this appeal. As already stated, wanting to be unbanned so you can freely trade and join servers is not a reason to consider an unban, and shows absolutely no true change of heart.
    Appeal is thus Rejected for no obvious COH and lack of sufficient evidence to overturn original admins decision.

    Regards.
