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.

    I was browsing the comments section of my workshop item "The Koolboy" when I had noticed something pelucliar. A person, whose comment has been in the top for a while now, had changed his name to "Store Admin". Being very paranoid, I decided to check his profile page. I remember checking this person's account earlier, but it seems that he has made it private since then. It seems that this person intends to pretend to be an administrator from the Steam Store, something that has been done many times already. I'm not expecting the admins at SteamRep to give him a scammer tag, but I think it is necessary to give him a warning tag for the sake of those he adds.

    There may be a possibility that his profile has been hijacked. His nickname barely changed for a while if you look at his persona history, and he has a lot of photos.

    Unfortunately, this isn't really a scam. It would not be impersonation because he isn't taking the name, profile, or picture of anyone else. Sadly as long as he didn't do anything, we cannot tag him.
