    I have been reported as a scammer with fake rep, which is clearly false. I do not have any comments or anything upping my rep or anything. I don't have anybody commenting on my rep at all, I also haven't made a trade in TF2 or anything in a while, except with my friends, and I came on steamrep to check and I saw that I was listed as a scammer with fake rep.

    As polyvore is indicating, the tag is for providing fake rep to someone, which is a dangerous thing because scammers collect fake rep in order to trick people more effectively into trusting them.

    Do you wish to retract your appeal, or perhaps update this thread with a response as to why you would throw away your own reputation to provide fake reputation to someone?

    I'm sorry I gave fake rep to that guy. I was tricked, like some other people, into giving him a "+Rep". Here is the story. I found out that you could get into the dota 2 beta a little while ago, and, being an avid dota fan, I just had to get into it. I tried for about 2 weeks, I drew pictures, sang songs, begged, I did everything I could think of. I couldn't get in. It was driving me crazy, so then this guy comes on the playdota forums and says that all we have to do to get a beta key is comment on his profile saying "+Rep". I though that this was my chance. I was one of the first people to do it, thinking that I would definitely get one. I was wrong. That guy tricked a lot of us to give him fake rep. I'm really sorry that I gave him fake rep. I didn't willingly do it. I have never scammed someone or aided in scamming someone, and I don't intend to start now. I will never give fake rep to anyone again, and I will never ask for it. I'm sorry that I was tricked so easily, and I can promise it wont happen again. Just please don't let me be pretty much blacklisted from trading via steam or in-game because of my stupid mistake. That's all I have to say, and I hope you take it into consideration.
