Appeal description:

As you can see, I have been banned very long time ago, like 4 years ago. I was banned not for any kind of scam, or anything, but for "ruining reputation for steamrep middleman". The thing is, that I did not try to ruin any kind of reputation. I will explain everything what happenned in a chronical order.

P.S As you can understand, i cant write a very informational history what happened, or give any proofs, because it happened 4 years ago.

I was selling my unusual hat for paypal. Dont really remember for unusual it was, i just remember that I was selling it for about 200USD. One middleman, or atleast a guy with same name as middleman, wrote to me, and I trusted him, and I went first for him. He was a scammer, and i got scammed. Then i contacted many steamrep admins, and told them that one MM scammed me. After telling them the story, I gave them full link to the profile of the SR MM, and they told me, that he was an impersonator. So actually i got banned by a SR MM impersonator, but I just couldnt believe that the guy was an impersonator and i really thought that the real MM scammed me and kept telling them that. Like few days later, I realised, that i was really wrong. I found out, that there was another MM with same name in my friend list with name (1) near it, so the guy with (1) probably was the real one. Like 2 days after, i got a bad reputation for trying to ruin MM rep.

TL;DR because of my own stupidity, I got scammed on 200$ + as a gift got free ban on steamrep, because I thought that the MM that scammed me was a real MM, and later I realised he really really was impersonator.​

By the way, i just need the unban, so I can use csgolounge for betting. I am not into any trading anymore.

Hello @rokshis,

Provide inventory screenshots of the traded items to the scammer, and provide the ID block of the impersonator that you got scammed by.





Requirements of the screenshot(s):

• Exclude the Login name and steam wallet amount that is on the very top right.
• MUST show the Steam URL in top left.
• MUST show the NICKNAME in top middle.
• MUST show the Steam window fully from left side to the right side of the window.
• MUST show the related trade from the day before to up to at least 2 days after the trade or current date if that is earlier.
• MUST show to the bottom of the steam browser window.
• You are NOT to edit the screenshot, and NOT to blank out anything.
• If you are using a custom skin, we will require you to redo this with the default Steam skin.

For an example, click this screenshot: http://files.steamrep.com/1/2014-10/2014-10-12_20-16-58.png

It might be strange, but for some reason, the trade is not there. I remember this, that it was on trade history for like 3 days and after that it just was gone from my history. I dont know how to explain this, maybe this have happened to someone else. But to prove this, that I am not lying or joking I will provide my whole inventory trade history.

What you can see from my history, that I have received the hat, but haven't even ever gave the hat to someone else, but for some reason, its not in my inventory.. If you want, i can show my trade history trough any screen sharing services.

I am not very knowledgeable with these days tf2 trading, but if I have heard right, its possible to track item somehow? This way we could check to who I traded the item.


Just please, dont think that I am trying to get rid of my steamrep by lying. Im definitely not, just this is a strange case, and I dont know how to explain all this shiet.. As I said it happened 4 years ago..

Just tell me how I can provide you more information or solve this.

If you can, atleast remove the SteamREP banned status, and put "cautious" on me, or something. I need to take back my reward from CS:GO Lounge.. Ahh

Hey , i am not a SR mod/admin but trade history cannot be deleted or removed so you should show your full history ( make a video ) or search again for that trade ( it should be easy to spot since it is in purple ) .

Good luck with the appeal hope this helped

A link with a video inside of my inventory history. You can clearly see there, that i haven't traded my geisha to anyone, but its not in my inventory. If you can explain this somehow, please do. But I know for 100% that this is the hat, the MM scammed from me, and for some reason its not in my trade history.

Is this going to be solved anyhow?

Could my appeal by processed by anyone? This is hugely unfair.

Hello, I know, that it is not a good thing to ask exceptionally to check someone's appeal, but please just listen to what I have to say, just 2 minutes of your time. Thats all I ask. I have been unfairly and misleadly banned for about 5 years now. Fact is, that I have been scammed, and because of my own stupidity, I thought I have been scammed by a real middleman. Therefore, I tried to prove a real moderator (he was also a middleman at that time) to be guilty. Now I know for sure, that I have been wrong, and I wish to fix it up in any way possible. I am ready to be fully honest and I can do anything you ask, just to prove, that I am innocent. I could even pay for your precious time (this is by no means a bribe. Just I really evaluate other people time), just so I could get this situation solved. If you think that could be done, please add me to Steam or just help me via my appeal: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/appeal-76561198016529695-invit3d-banned-by-sr.96291/.

Could you tell me, who is checking and looking at them? As you can see, I haven't received a response in period of 1 year..
