1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Hey Guys,

    i dont know if it is normal but i got scammed by an SR Admin he is called Mr.Someone is from the USA got a Reputation Status. I thought i could trust him because of the commends and that he is a steam admin but now my shadow daggers are stolen.
    First a guy asked me to trade then he said lets use an Sr Admin to verify our items. Then they said lets trade we tzraded and then they deleted me and blogged me and now i am without knife. The main problem is that a admin of steam is scamming users. i think this person needs to get banned or more to be punished by a court. i hoper i could help you. that all of you overthink who they trading to. Watch out for a retaed called Someone and JustWatch.

    If you believe you were scammed by someone listed on our admin or middleman lists, please start by reviewing the following guidance:
    I was scammed by a middleman/admin listed on SteamRep. What now?

    Also, "Someone" is not affiliated with SteamRep. He's a middleman for Fortress of Gamers and Skial and admin on the Fortress of Gamers community, which are partner communities.

    You need to follow the instructions in that guide I linked you, step by step, exactly as written. Read the whole thing, I can't do anything until you do your part.

    The link you posted can only be accessed by you; I can't see anything in there. Steam makes trade history private.

    Read that entire guide, this is already explained in detail. It's not even that we don't want to -- SteamRep admins are not Valve employees, so we don't have access to trade ban or wipe out inventories. All we can do is put up a warning (hence the tag already on his profile) in our own database to try and keep anyone else from getting scammed, should they consult our database before trading. This profile was already flagged as a scammer, but you did not check. There's nothing else we could have done to prevent this, and nothing more we can do now that you were scammed and he's already marked.

    Just wanna rectify this.
    He is a middleman for Skial and an admin for Fortress of Gamers. He is not a middleman for Fortress of Gamers as stated above.

    We have to check this entirely for various admins etc are impersonated a LOT. Some admins had literally hundreds of impersonators, those copied the name, avatar, profile text, badges, and some even went as far to go idling the games the admin's recently played on steam, copied comments.

    This is why we need THOROUGH checking of information on reported admins. The admin

    If you had put his custom URL into Steamrep instead, then you had found he's a scammer, marked 2 weeks ago already:
    | steamname: Šomeone.
    | steam3ID: [U:1:152538750]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:76269375
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198112804478
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/____Someoneeeeeee____
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198112804478

    Ïf you believe a "screenshot" on a profile, then that is really not the way to "verify".

    I can put a picture of Kristen Stewart on my profile and "say" I'm her...

    We can't help it that you didn't do due dilligence. You just accuse a community Admin & MM without even checking if it even was really him.

    Maybe you should take it as a lesson that when it regarding trust, every scammer lies till they got you convinced. The real people will let you find out by yourself.

    If by "farm" you mean soliciting or posting bogus comments to appear more trustworthy than you are, citing trades that never happened, then you could get marked or banned by a partner community. That's known as fake reputation, or fakerep.

    We don't normally investigate it here because it's too widespread, but there is precedent for people getting marked over it. Also, other communities will still ban for it even if you don't get a tag.
