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've been threatened with a fake steamrep ban, should I be worried?

    Hello,

    Some guy added me to buy some keys, he seemed normal and friendly enough.

    I checked his steamrep as standard protocol, and he is banned.

    I explained that I won't trade with him for real cash because of this, and now he is saying he's going to photoshop something and get me banned too and to 'enjoy my ban'.

    I've screenshotted our entire conversation, should I be worried? I hear that steamrep can be quite ruthless.

    I've genuinely done nothing wrong, and am only trying to prevent myself from getting scammed. I'm real nervous :-(

    He's also -rep commented on my cashrep which I'm working on building up, WTF?

    We do get false reports, and do our best to detect them and not banning an innocent user. Unfortunately, reports have sometimes slipped through the cracks and we accidently ban an innocent user, however those are usually caught quickly upon an appeal and the tag is lifted. These cases are very rare, as we train our staff to always be aware of them. If a report is made against you, be sure to reply to the report and provide your side of the story and the proof that you have of your innocence.

    Thanks Clive. I have the imgur link ready to go incase he does indeed 'photoshop some bs' and submit a report.
    I'm so annoyed, I've worked hard the last 10days or so to build up cashrep, and now this guy is on my case for no reason other than I'm trying to prevent myself getting scammed by a flagged user.

    I've hidden the users info and the csgo link you provided.
    This prevents flaming towards another user if this situation isn't as stated.
    Thanks!
