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: 76561198173466782

    Victim profile: 76561198261771051

    What happened? Description:
    This user is impersonating my good friend The Fat Stormtrooper, a high-tier trader with TF2 items. This user is most likely impersonating him trying to scam other users. The proof I am friends with the real user that's being impersonated look at the pictures! You may be asking: Why are you writing this and not the real dude being impersonated? Well, he's not that good at reporting... lol. All he does is send a useless report to Valve using the "Report Violation" button and get the user a 3 day community ban. But that doesn't mean he'll be marked on SR too. So.... I'm doing this for him to help him. And I really should teach him how to do it too.​

    Provide Evidence:

    This is the same as above... I didn't really know what more to write.​

    @DIA666 Ok so let me help you.... your report is invalid BUT - if you take the screenshots showing the intent here it helps.
    In this case I'm going to accept this kinda report from you once... the link to the other user is there but we need context of intent to scam with it in the future.
    Had the victim or user impersonated made the report then I wouldn't need it since that verifies they weren't that user. With most cases its hard to say if that is their account or not and we don't want users running around looking for this stuff to report.
    understand?
    Thanks! You can also report user to Valve
