Appeal description:

This occurred around 5 years ago - I was 15 years old at the time. I was trying to get into trading and I got scammed by a friend. I literally cried over a Bill's hat because it meant so much to me at the time - I remember it vividly. After he scammed me, he falsified evidence and reported me on SteamRep. I was shocked. In the thread you can see that I accused him of lying. I don't even think my Steam name was the same as the Steam name in his PhotoShopped evidence. I believe that he actually sent me a trade that had the wallet scam and then somehow altered the names.

I am appealing this now, after so long, because after it not having a huge impact, I want to do trades with knives in CS, and I want my reputation cleared. I still am furious that this false allegation was approved and I was really devastated at the time.

Hopefully, I am able to clear this because it is really horrible to have this traumatic event in the past affect me 5 years later on. Thank you for anyone who is able to help. Unfortunately, as it has been so long, I don't have evidence to prove that I am innocent. If we can, perhaps it would be beneficial to look back through the thread which resulted in my SR ban and find weaknesses which show I was not guilty of the attempted scam. Thank you.​

Firstly, I am leaving for holiday in a few days so I will only have a few days to find what you have asked. Second, this happened 5 years ago so it will be very hard for me to find evidence to prove that it was faked (how even would I do that?).
For 1) I am unable to provide any interactions.
2) This is the screenshot used to propose that I was attempting a scam: https://forums.steamrep.com/attachments/scam-png.171783/
I am 99% certain that I have never gone by the name Pootispenser. The trader in the picture used to accuse me was not in fact me. At the time, I linked my Steam Trade history in order to prove that I hadn't sent such a trade. Currently, I am unable to find out how to view back to my sent trade offers from such a long time ago. If I can, it can prove absolutely that I was not the one in the picture used to accuse me - I did not attempt such a scam.
3) Nothing is true from the report. What I suspect is that the person who accused me had a secondary Steam account and made this trade offer from one account to another and reported it as being me. I never sent such a trade offer - we both used £s rather than $s so it wouldn't make any sense for me to offer $s?
4) I don't know how to show me trade offers at the time but if you can look back to the date of the allegation, you will see that I never sent such a trade - and in fact my account name would have been different to the one in the picture. The accusation was completely ludicrous and so I was deeply frustrated.
5) Here is my Steam Alt account - https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198218515829/

As you can see, my accounts are squeaky clean. I am not a scammer. I have done high-value trades on my main for CS:GO items and I would just like my name cleared. If there is anything else I can do please let me know. I am at a loss.

I had interactions with them - they were my friend. They scammed me of an item and then accused me of scamming them (as stated in the original appeal).

I assume the screenshots they took where either faked or generated from a different account - either way I count that as faking evidence towards me.

I am fairly certain I have never used that Steam name.

My apologies, I am a little stressed at the moment and I think I had some confusion about your question. I was friends with him and we interacted playing TF2, however I cannot provide proof or conversations because I have had a new PC and done factory reset and lost the images I had at the time. Sorry about this. I also apologies for my claims - I thought it would be useful to tell you what I believe happened. This is my best guess. I am sorry for making your life difficult - I would like to assist you in whichever way I can now. Thank you for your help.

Because it has been so long, I don't really have any evidence, other than evidence that I can display based on the accusation (i.e. it doesn't make sense nor match my account trade offers). If I am unable to prove this is the case, is it possible to appeal on other grounds - My accounts have no reports, I am a clean player and it has been such a long time since the allegation?

If this is not possible, then I need to do everything I can to prove to you that I am innocent. Thank you.

Added. I leave for holiday (for almost 2 weeks) on Thursday - it would be preferable if a larger time allocation was applied for this appeal as I feel like it's going to require some hard work lol
