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.

    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198145129195

    Victim profile: 76561198120703712

    What happened? Description:
    The scammer added me and was impersonating this guy http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/[U:1:64659871]
    He tried to get a fake valve employee to verify our items
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/SteamValveOfficial
    After I called him out for scamming, he left the chat, along with FirePowered (the "valve employee" who was supposed to "verify" my items)
    The scammer wanted my green confetti Hong Kong Cone from Team Fortress 2
    The scammer's inventory was private too.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Chat 1 - He adds me and sends me a link to this inventory
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024925599/inventory/
    Chat 2- He tells me that he wants a "Official Steam Admins" to check our items.
    Chat 3- Sends me a link to FirePowered's profile, and says that hes the valve employee.
    Chat 4- FirePowered joins the chat and then leaves with the scammer after I call them out for being scammers (FIrepowered and the scammer could possibly be the same guy, since they both have broken English)​

    @8BitLuigi Ok so the so called inventory link isn't even his - he's impersonating it.
    You didn't however give me any information on the official steam admin they suggested...not sure why but that is important and from now on make sure you provide info for every user involved when making a report.
    I'll need the FULL SR profile block to that account now please.
