    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198075571617

    Victim profile: 76561198415039842

    What happened? Description:
    A friend I had met in TF2 named "Atom" told me he accidentally reported me for fraudulent/duped items. I asked him how we could work through this, and sent me a link to the profile I have put as the 'scammer', I immediately noticed they had no steam/valve employee badge on their profile. I decided to add them anyways, just for a few laughs seeing how far I could take it with them. They proceeded to send me a gif of them 'approving' a deletion of my account, and how it said "pending ban waiting for you to accept", and I know that there are no 'pending' bans. They seemed very suspicious and believe that they were going to attempt to pull the "item verification" scam.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Pictures of the gif they sent me, as well as the full chat log.​

    Hey

    [2:40 PM]
    :
    How may I help you?

    [2:40 PM]
    ജുവാൻ ദി ഗെയ:
    So, a user named Atom told me he falsely reported me for 'duped' items instead of someone who actaully had 'duped' items

    [2:41 PM]
    :
    Give me a sec , I will check your steam account status

    [2:41 PM]
    ജുവാൻ ദി ഗെയ:
    Also, are you a valve admin?

    [2:42 PM]
    :
    Yes
    https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....822/EC59E83466901AF75B8A6863AF609ED4232EFC95/

    Are you aware that if you cant prove yourself here that your item is in good condition your account will be deleted on steam permanently?

    [2:43 PM]
    ജുവാൻ ദി ഗെയ:
    I jsut find it strange that you don't have the valve admin badge

    [2:44 PM]
    :
    Badge is not allowed in the private investigation team cause it will affect the community item index virus on a duplicated/bugged items

    [2:44 PM]
    ജുവാൻ ദി ഗെയ:
    I apologize, I just don't think you're an actual admin.

    [2:50 PM]
    ജുവാൻ ദി ഗെയ:
    Also, pending bans don't exist
    If I really had 'duped' items that were fraudulent, I would be banned immediately
    Right?

    @Boyz4Judaism Juan Ok this was NOT the first user you were involved with and that is who you should be reporting, not this user.
    Who is the ATOM user? I need the ID64 or SR profile block ASAP and the chat screenshots of where they said this.
    You basically did the report backwards and it makes it difficult to review.

    It appears that this Atom person unfriended me, and I can't find their profile, is there any way to check my recent chats?

    That is unfortunate and no.
    That Atom user is likely compromised/hijacked but they were responsible for starting the scam.
    Ohh well I'll review this again later.
