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.

    Subject had a private profile going into the trade in which I was requested to middleman. I warned the seller that this person was probably not someone I would normally deal with, and a few minutes later, I was asked if I "still had the unusual" in my pack. Victim sent his unusual to an injected middleman. I never had it.

    I swear that I didn't accept any friend request while I's talking in the chat room with real middleman and the scammer.
    He just appeared to be a friend and can send me trade request directly.

    It's always wise to confirm with whomever you are trading or using as a middleman that they are currently in the Steam Trade window with you.
    When you open a Steam Trade with whomever you are dealing with, just ask them to confirm in steam chat, and wait for them to message you so you know you aren't getting deceived :p

    Sorry to hear you got scammed though; hopefully he will get tagged as a scammer and won't be able to scam anyone else.

    He just added me a moment ago, I accepted. Let's see what happens.

    I'd recommend listing him as a scammer immediately either way. Checked his steamrep and it was clean, had to find this thread to make sure.
