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.

    I submitted a scammer report for a person like above, a level 53 profile with the name Joe and with 3 slashes. They got reported. I noticed a recent ban today was a level 73 profile with many hours in CS:GO and such with the same profile got banned today. So weird.

    Not weird at all.. common lately to see MANY different users with valuable inventory in their packs being impersonated.
    We make no effort to hunt them down either - you can report a user if they make contact you in a manner to defraud you with the impersonation.
    You can report them all to Valve at any time.

    In fact any user with any name even someone with a different name has done this in so many ways.
    Best thing for you to do is tell your friends and others to educate them which is the goal here....which is why we won't go on some witch hunt for profiles like this.
