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.

    Description:
    I'm a TF2TP admin. I saw this user (King GAK) post his tale and this screenshot to reddit. This behavior from Criken3 is reprehensible. His specifically chosen name (Gooby Pls) is used by wannabe scammers and trolls everywhere across the internet. His only activity on TF2Outpost is this: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/332875 Attempting to pay about a buck for 'preferably' a burning flames unusual hat. If he bothered to use TF2TP I'd have already had him banned.

    Aside from filing this report, I am in no way involved with either the victim or the scammer. Just passing this information onto Steamrep. Thanks for listening.

    I saw your comment, and you know where, about what this account has done. I already know, you think this is complete bullshit, but I'm gonna give you my input on the situation, where as, and I refer back to the part where you think I'm bullshitting you, I am a victim as well.

    My friend couldn't purchase himself Team Fortress 2, so I let him borrow my account on the weekends since January. With this, we had a steady account sharing. Since I noticed an increase of TF2 items popping in and out of my Inventory, and Trading Card Beta invites (and by the way, I already knew about the Beta and was hoping to give some out to my friends if I had enough to give to most of my BFF), I knew what was up. With (addressing both Otacon and Markers) Markers' comment on my YouTube channel, I figured out about it. I changed my log-in information (password and such) so he wouldn't be able to access it anymore. Apparently he tried to start a scamming streak with my account, which I had no part in.

    I sincerely apologize about this, and I hope you guys see the sincerity through the text. I'm not looking forward to having an account marked as a scammer because I attempted to let someone have fun playing Team Fortress 2 instead of having it as a F2P'er/getting heckled as a F2P'er. Without a doubt, I'll try to make things right with his remaining invites. I'm planning to give them out to the community VIA the Steam Trading Card Beta group that he's been on. Unfortunately he got my account kicked and banned from the discussions that are on the group, so I'll try to just directly add those people in order to give out the invites people need.

    Again, I apologize about the incident. If you guys need anything, please feel free to contact me from my account. And if you read to this point, I thank you for actually taking interest in hearing my story of the incident.

    By the way, I just found out about this incident, so I've made this account to contact you guys, since I'd expect both of you to block me on Steam.

    I pay attention to detail,and i can safely say this text i'm quoting is written by the same person who wrote both messages with purpose of scamming.That be you the owner,or allegadly "the friend" this account needs to be marked.
