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.

    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198118128392 (˖✧Boinker Numnut✧*)

    Appeal Plea: I am innocent of all listed offenses
    Appeal Reason: [Accounts] Hijacked - My account was abused by hijacker
    Victim Repayment: No, but I will repay. I need help finding the victim(s)
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here    ​

    Alternate Accounts:
    There are no accounts.​

    Appeal description:
    I did not commit any offenses whatsoever on Steam to get banned on SteamRep. I was hijacked by a person claiming to be someone named Shubbler, and was started by another scammer claiming someone to be Business Sloth (impersonator account here: steamcommunity.com/id/ery555) and brought me to the Shubbler impersonator (i lost the scammer's link) who then proceeded to put my items in a "item database" who deleted the items or traded it to the scammer. Then, the Shubbler impersonator put me in a private chat and asked for my username, password, and my Steam authenticator code. So, I followed, and he claimed to "search" my most valuable items, and decided to take control of my account a few minutes later. A day later, Steam Support changed the account password to a string of numbers, and as it turns out, I didn't lose any items, but just the items that were deleted. I am completely sorry about what happened, and I'll try to avoid it.

    As for my brother, DatSoldiersASpy, he did not do anything related to the fraud, so I reccomend that you unban him too, as he had no action in the fraud.

    Thank you, and hopefully you unban me soon.

    Knowingly giving out your account credentials is NOT considered a hijacking.
    You also failed to disclose alts per appeal tips #7, on that same note, no 3rd party appeals.

    After a review of the report/taking into account the appeal, I am unable to consider this appeal.
    You failed to address the points I previously brought up, in addition, we do not accept cropped screenshots.
    Once again, knowingly giving out your account credentials is NOT considered a hijacking for SR appeals sake. This point is reaffirmed by the (otherwise invalid) ticket you yourself provided as what happened.
    Ref: https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/appeal-tips.66354/ #19 and https://forums.steamrep.com/pages/faq/ (appeals section, 10th bullet)
    In addition, Valve has implemented account safeguards to prevent items from being transferred by untrusted(new) devices for a period of weeks and requires separate verification, your story does not match up with how steam actually works.

    A defense of a hijacking cannot be made for this appeal (the act was willful/knowingly). Since this is the main basis of your case, I am denying the appeal.
