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:
    His friend (i played mvm with the guy) sent me a message saying I should talk to a steam community admin, because I was pending review on my trade status or something. I add the "admin", and he tells me that I have a few duplicated items. He proceeds to send me a trade offer for three items, which I deny. I call him out, he blocks me.​

    Sureo

    Where did you get those items?

    [8:35 PM]
    sentient pink ball:
    I crafted the first one, unboxed the second one, and bought the third one off the steam market.

    [8:35 PM]
    ❆Vlaze Skylax☯:
    Even you bought it from the market/traded/unboxed there is a probability that your item is fraud.

    Also, a community moderator wouldn't have access to bots.
    Nice try, but this won't work pal.
    Also, anybody worth their salt knows they can just check steamrep.

    Oh, sorry. I didn't add or know about the other account until it sent me the trade offer, which I promptly declined.

    https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198340544694

    Here's the link.

    | steamname: Head Max
    | steam3ID: [U:1:380278966]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:190139483
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198340544694
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198340544694

    And all the info from steamrep.

    Again, my only interaction with that other account was from the trade it sent me after the scammer told me that I got a trade offer.
