    Appeal for SOP CAUTION

    Steam profile: 76561198026871712 (Hoff)

    Appeal Plea: I am innocent of all listed offenses
    Appeal Reason: [Process] Mistake - Admin misunderstood evidence or made a mistake
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: No, this is my first appeal here

    Alternate Accounts:


    Appeal description:
    A long time ago when I was pretty young and into tf2 I got an unusual hat. Naive me was quick to jump onto the first offer to buy the hat and by the end of that interaction with a guy pretending to be a trader, I lost the hat. I was devastated and tried talking to Valve support about getting it back (at the time I had chat logs and such), but it never worked out and I didn't get it back. Aside from the Valve support guy, I didn't talk to a single other person (I didn't even know who to go to for help). No one tried reaching out or anything.

    Years passed and now I see the caution on my page saying I was ".. not cooperating with Admin investigation in Unusual Scamming (worth $550)". It seems really bazzarre and threw me off guard since I never spoke to anyone aside from the Valve support person for help.

    I would love some clarification here. My issue is that the caution is made out to sound like I was the one responsible for scamming even though I was the one with the hat!

    Thanks all in advance and I hope to have this sorted out.​

    That is not what I asked, you either provide what was asked or not.

    Are you asking for a screenshot of the page? I haven't been through this process before so I'm not sure what you mean.

    If you do not understand what I originally asked for, suggest you get someone who you trust and knows better English then you to assist you.

    Hoff... how on earth do you expect anyone here to access YOUR trade inventory history?? We can't log into your account...that link only works to view your own account info.
    You need to open up your trade inventory history - thru your steam client and go all the way back to the very very first page.
    Press PRINT SCREEN button - open paint.... click PASTE - save the image as whatever - then upload it here.
    Do not edit it, do not crop the image in anyway - it must be FULL screen and per this guide.

    I'm sorry for the miscommunication and I appreciate the clarification. I assumed that since my community id was in the url (and my inventory is public) that the history was as well, but oh well. Here's the screenshot of the my entire screen viewing the chronological first page in the history, taken using ShareX.

    I cannot see any of the trades, you can take multiple screenshots.
