What happened? Description:

Impersonated a Valve Employee Trading Admin and tried to get me to verify items in addition to threatening to trade ban me.​

Provide Evidence:

This is the full chat we had, he commented on a picture in my profile about a pending trade ban. As you can see I quickly ended this faker as I saw right through his scam. My first sign was the comment, My second was his profile having nearly no games, and my third was his English dear lord. I thought mine was bad.


Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Good day trader.
Beach: Hey what is this about?
Beach: I am super confused
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: So you noticed already the pending trade ban in your account.
Beach: I noticed the comment on my picture yes
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Are you aware that your account will be trade banned if you can't fix the said issue on your account?
Beach: No I am not aware, nor have I done anything wrong, for crying out loud I have been scammed 5 times trying to legitely trade myself
Beach: and I am the one getting banned?
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Some traders in the community reported your account for fraud.
Beach: Yet the people who scam me are still out there?
Beach: What in the world?
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: That's why im here to clear this issue on your account.
Beach: I am trying to trade I havent even been successful at it and just end up buying the skins myself
Beach: This is ridiculous honestly
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: If you can prove to me that you're really inncocent here, I will ban the person who reported you for false accusations.
Beach: Can I give you the links to the accounts that have scammed me and ban them not me?
Beach: Because over the past 2 years I have been scammed 5 times
Beach: once for my ENTIRE inventory
Beach: by some guy doing an opskins scam
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I see.
Beach: I have no frikkin idea how to find people who legitely trade, everyoen who adds me to trade seems to be a scammer
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Why you didnt report them directly to us? So we can assist you directly?
Beach: and this is beyond me that they are still at large and im a suspect?
Beach: I DID lol
Beach: on their profile
Beach: numerous times
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: You dont have to worry here if you're really innocent. Ok?
Beach: Literally the guy who stole my whole inventory a few months ago
Beach: added me AGAIN
Beach: today
Beach: to try and scam me AGAIN he hasnt been banned yet
Beach: this is absolutely 100% proposterous!
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: For now can we focus on your pending trade ban issue?
Beach: Yes , how in the world can this even be considered is what I want to know
Beach: what have I done
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I will assist you later with those scammers you mentioned.
Beach: Thank you
Beach: But what could I possibly be accused of? besides losing hundreds of dollars to horrible people in this online community
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I need you to cooperate.
Beach: I will, I hope you can understand my fustration man
Beach: I've been doing everything I can to put those memeories of horridness behind me
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I will ban the person who reported you if you can prove to me that you're really innocent here.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Ok?
Beach: ok
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Have you read the verification process?
Beach: No, would that be included in your comment
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Basically we admins verify items thru our main database system. Thru our main database system dupped items are marked red upon the process. So i hope there's no red tagged if i verify your items.
Beach: Well verify my items if you will, but I bought them all off the market, so I have done nothing wrong
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: You may read the process under the admin's list.
Beach: nor will I trade them to you, since I know that is a scam
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: As ive said you dont have to worry if you're really innocent here.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I am here to clear things out. If you're innocent i will remove the pending trade ban in your account.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Can you go to my profile.
Beach: I have nothing to hideso go ahead
Beach: yes
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Read the guidelines.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I assumed you already seen those banned accounts who commented on my profile.
Beach: yes but that hardly has anyhting to do with it
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: I will verify your items and hopefully i will not see dupped ones.
Beach: https://forums.steamrep.com/pages/about-item-checking-scam/
Beach: There is no such thing as verifying items says the official steamrep forums
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: steamrep is not affiliated to valve.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: What am i saying is your talking to an official admin here i am not one of those fake impersonators.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: You can check my name in the admin's list.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Try to double check if you're really talking to the real "me".
Beach: This is the worst fake I have ever seen, no valve employee would contact me over steam message, and I would have gotten an email about the pending trade ban or a notification, not a comment on my profile
Beach: I will be reporting you and this entire conversation.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: No problem.
Beach: You don't even have the decency to use proper english
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: By that time you will be trade banned.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Dont beg me to unban your account then.
Beach: Yeah for doing what? Literally nothing. lolThis is not steam
Beach: I won't there will not be a ban and if there is
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: You might end up like those scammed who commented on my profile.
Beach: you WILL be hearing from my lawyer
Beach: Good day
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: Trade ban will be issued on your account.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: No worries.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: As ive said im just doing my job.
Tonex Blue | Trade Admin: But youre not cooperating. So Goodluck then.​
