    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198160909941 (robo)

    Appeal Plea: I committed the offense(s), I admit it
    Appeal Reason: [Change of Heart] I will never scam again.
    Victim Repayment: No, I committed no fraud or had no direct victims
    Previous Appeals: Yes, I appealed here before and it was denied.

    Alternate Accounts:

    Appeal description:
    About 8 months ago, there was a friend I had made from trading, called foxx (http://steamcommunity.com/id/foxx_/), who I talked to somewhat regularly, and who, which I found out later, was making alot of money off scamming expensive items. He had an alternate account which he was/might still be making hundreds of euros off of every month. This is his alt, it's a Shadows impersonation: http://steamcommunity.com/id/shadowss_/.
    Bit by bit, I started seeing the appeal of making so much money off of other people's ignorance, and wanted to try it myself. I bought another account with 13 years on steam, to make it seem more trustworthy, and tried impersonating some big traders. I obviously wasn't very good at it, and got that account banned on SR. What I said in my first appeal about not trading anymore was true, for my main account anyway, since scamming isn't exactly trading. Anyway, someone reported that, and my ban (and rightfully so) carried onto my main account, which is this one.
    I've found in this time of being banned from practically every tf2 site and alot of servers, that I hate being banned.
    I'm still not going to continue trading, even if I am unbanned, because I've moved onto other stuff, but I think appealing is something that was going to be done sooner or later.

    P.S regarding the "comitted no fraud and had no direct victims", it's because I never actually stole any items, because I was found out pretty quickly.​
