    Appeal for BANNED BY SR

    Steam profile: 76561198220720536 ("Minion" (In Italy until 8/14))

    Appeal Plea: I am innocent of all listed offenses
    Appeal Reason: [Accounts] Hijacked - My account was abused by hijacker
    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:
    My account was hijacked in late May and all the screenshots in the thread that got me banned on steamrep were ALL done by the person who hijacked me. For the first three years I've been on steam, I've gotten nothing but the upmost respect and trust from mostly everyone in the TF2 community. I've never done or even considered doing anything fraudulent. I can promise you that I'm 100% trustworthy and I'm in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM and threat to scam/harm anyone because I know scamming hurts so many people and really leaves a mark on them because people work so hard to build their inventories. If you have any questions, feel free to reply in this thread and we can work something out hopefully.​

    What proof do you need? I can provide steam proof of ownership and possibly even the chat logs with the person who hijacked me or any other info you’d need.

    1. We do not accept any cropped screenshots per the evidence/screenshot guide at the top of the appeals section.
    2. Password changes are not proof of any hijacking.

    This is the login history around this time. I live in northern Vermont. Feel free to ask for any other other info you'd need and I'll try my best to look for it.

    I'm unable to recover the chat logs and the best evidence I could give were those emails that my email and password were changed around late-May. What other proof would you consider to be valid? I need to know SPECIFICALLY what you need.

    This is proof of the trade history when I was scammed as well as the login history from around the time. If you need me to add anything else, just say it but please be specific.

    [7:00 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    You made me feel very uncomfortable

    [7:00 PM]
    "Minion":
    What

    [7:00 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    When your account got hacked

    [7:00 PM]
    "Minion":
    I'm really sorry about that :c

    [7:00 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    Wat happened

    [7:00 PM]
    "Minion":
    I'll explain later

    *takes your wizard hat as reparations and runs away cackling*

    [7:03 PM]

    oof

    [7:03 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    Oh did you see the chat I logged?

    [7:04 PM]
    "Minion":
    What is it

    [7:04 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    Sec lemme try to find it

    [7:04 PM]
    "Minion":
    Ok
    I'm trying to get unbanned on steamrep

    [7:06 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    If you want you can use my log as evidence

    [7:06 PM]
    "Minion":
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    Is it proof I was hijacked?

    [7:07 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    It's proof that one of your close friends noticed you were hijacked
    At the time of the incident

    [7:07 PM]
    "Minion":
    Would that be valid?

    [7:07 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    Before you were steamrep banned

    [7:07 PM]
    "Minion":
    :eek:
    Ok
    DM me on discord

    [7:09 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    It's an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence. And the police can use circumstantial evidence of this caliber to make an arrest if this was real life

    [7:09 PM]
    "Minion":
    :eek:
    Okie

    [7:09 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:

    "Minion":

    I also need proof I recovered my account

    [7:11 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    I can't provide that. The only reason I'm even chatting with you right now is because I know you are minion based off your speech and linguistic patterns

    [7:11 PM]
    "Minion":
    Yush

    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    dammit

    [7:17 PM]
    "Minion":
    What

    [7:17 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    i have the evidence but I didnt provide your steam id
    oh well

    [7:17 PM]
    "Minion":
    I can add that in

    [7:17 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    no
    you cant

    [7:17 PM]
    "Minion":
    What

    [7:19 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    The entire point of this pastebin is the fact that it was posted AT the time of the hijacking, BEFORE you were steamrep banned. The fact that someone else posted that you were hijacked before steamrep banned you is the most important circumstancial evidence.
    if you try to change it / repost it, the post date will change and it will be useless because "anyone could make up a story to get unbanned"
    Here's what happened, before you read this okay?

    [7:20 PM]
    "Minion":
    Sure
    Tell me

    [7:21 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    And remember, you're going to have to give steamrep the link to the pastebin i will provide you, along with this entire chat we are having, from the beginning since i unblocked you

    [7:21 PM]
    "Minion":
    Ok

    [7:26 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    You approached me in chat about an issue back in may. You were speaking a bit odd but I didnt think much of it. We chatted a while and I knew something was off. I went along with it, and ended up adding a guy I knew was a scammer. I only added him to get to the bottom of this weird issue. After egging him on for like over an hour (I like toying with scammers), I realized a much darker issue. Your account was hijacked. I kept playing along though because I knew this was serious and wanted to find out more. After about 2 hours or so I realized he was trying to hijack my acount through a known glitch one of my irl friends tipped me off about, and I abruptly ended communications with both people and blocked them. I then posted the pastebin chats immediately.
    here is the pastebin. Note the date it was posted, because that is important. It was posted during the time of the hijacking, but before you were steamrep banned.

    Ok

    Thanks so much for helping me <3
    I'm happy we're friends again <3

    [7:29 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    go ahead and read through it. You should be able to present this as circumstancial evidence to them.

    [7:29 PM]
    "Minion":
    Okie

    [7:30 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:
    But make sure to also give them ALL of this steam chat we've just had, since I unblocked you a few min ago.

    [7:36 PM]
    Fluttershy in Sockies:

    [7:36 PM]

    I've been waiting almost two months for someone to reply to my appeal and I'm getting really frustrated this hasn't been dealt with yet. I'd like to assure you I've never scammed/tried to scam anyone at anytime. I was 100% without a doubt hijacked back in May and the hijacker tried to scam people under my name. Is there anyway we can speed up the appeal process because I don't wanna be marked for something I've never done in the first place.
