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.

    Extra notes:
    The situation-
    Scammer tried to steal my electrostatic slope scopers to "try on" without providing any collateral. He said many times he would get wrap and give the H.O.U.W.A.R as collateral, but even after he got wrap the "middleman" didn't receive the H.O.U.W.A.R.
    http://puu.sh/2YnCR/facf9c65b4.jpg- Trade history (hat is currently in my possession but this was definitely an attempted scam.

    Hello, would you happen to have the original agreement between you and the scammer?

    He offered on my hat but he said he "wanted to try it on first". I asked him for collateral and he had his whole offer (6 buds) in his backpack, but refused to pay collateral. One day later he gets a higher offer (all scammers claim they will pay higher, like paypal scammers). He gets an item harder to separate (H.O.U.W.A.R) and claims he will give it as collateral to a "middleman" as soon as he gets gift wrap for it. In the whole incident, the "middleman" hasn't received the H.O.U.W.A.R OR the 6 buds, yet he received my hat 3 times. The scammer was trying to steal my hat without paying a payment or collateral.

    I don't have an exact screenshot, since he always uses his microphone and it started in game.

    While there isn't enough evidence here for a tag, I discover that this guy is the alt of an already marked scammer. This just shows how every report *IS* important. Marking him now for being a scammer alt- thanks for the report. :)

    I'd like to clarify some potential confusion. The chosen middleman is an admin on my servers, where William is a regular. I don't know why William worded his posts to make it seem like the middleman was a scammer, because he wasn't.

    I will be talking with William and trying to get more information on this report.

    The alt-tag was correct though, I have the HOUWAR account and two of the other alts linked to from the "main" on my servers on the same IP address.

    Oh! I knew that the middleman wasn't a scammer- no worries. :) Also, thank you so much Dr. McKay for the IP verification for the guy- always helps to have backup!

    Discord is a close friend of mine, I wasn't accusing him of anything. He was also tricked by the scammer. The scammer refused to use a SteamRep middleman, so I agreed to use Discord.

    Video is uploading and will be available shortly.



    Notice how after he trades for his HOUWARs, he proceed to equip one with buds on each class. He doesn't have anything equipped on any class prior to equipping a HOUWAR, indicating a probable scammer alt.
