    Appeal description:
    Hello,

    I have made a mistake. I screwed up my trading career for the worst. I have been accused of impersonating, which I fully admit. The reason of me impersonating was because I have been scammed by an impersonator of a user named WutWut | Busy. Here is the scammer's profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198136759282 . Here is the link to the profile the was impersonated: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027426525 . I was in a rage, and tried to get my backpack worth back. I am not like this. I have more potential to trade and enjoy myself than being marked as a scammer, and I will NEVER make this mistake again. I hate impersonators, and I will never impersonate again. My goal was to trade up to getting an unusual similar to the one I got scammed. I never successfully scammed anyone in my rage, and I never will. All of my hard work was lost, and I want another chance to change and be who I really am. If I could, I will personally apologize to Danny. Here is proof of the impersonator taking my items, after being promised to get paypal money for them: https://imgur.com/a/uwCHB. I know this proof isn't much, because after all, it's the victim's fault for trusting and not doing research. I am very much aware that it was my mistake that I was scammed, but he showed me "his" backpack.tf rep, telling me that he was doing lots of cash trades. It looked very legit to me. I've learned to analyze everything on the other person's profile before trading them. I am banned from backpack.tf, tf2outpost, and most concerning for me, marketplace.tf. Again, this was because I impersonated a trader and attempted to scam one person, who took the right actions and reported me for my wrongdoing.
    This is the reason on rep.tf: https://rep.tf/76561198241828772. "Banned for chargeback fraud or sharing an IP with another banned user."

    I didn't do any of that. I only attempted to scam one person with impersonation. If there is no hope for me to make an appeal and tell the truth about why I attempted to scam someone, then I want a safe place to cash out and sadly disappear from the Tf2 community. I hate giving up, I just don't do this. I'm a strong dude who wants to keep pushing through life, but all I got was hate for what I've done. I am fully aware I deserve the hate, and I am not taking any of it personally. This is my all-time favorite game, so I had many memories with trading and playing that will forever make this game #1. I know the consequences of attempting or even successfully scamming and stealing. I could inform others that even having the thought of stealing isn't smart at all. If there's any way I could get an interview over voice, or get in contact with multiple admins talking about a possibility for me to get unbanned, I will do anything.

    From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry for everything that I've done to upset this community, thank you so much for understanding. If there are further questions, I invite you to comment how you feel about this, I want to have a legit and professional conversation.

    Thanks so much, -Adam​

    *Edit: My appeal plea and reason are pretty controversial to each other, but what I am saying is reflected in my appeal description. Thank you so much.

    Edit 2: I tried to contact Danny, and say sorry to him for everything. I am a person who is never satisfied without saying sorry to people I've hurt emotionally. He has blocked me when he recognized my name. I understand the reason for it, but he needs to be more mature about this.

    I am declining this appeal, I do not feel you have had a change of heart but rather you want to be unbanned to continue trading, your appeal blatantly states as much. Its irrelevant if its its an attempt or successful, its also irrelevant if its just once or a hundred times. You selected you disagreed with SR policy as the appeal reason, but you concede your wrongdoing in the appeal. As for being banned at other communities, that is not SRs problem, that is between you and whatever site/service.

    Appeal denied.
