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.

    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198140662356

    Victim profile: 76561198047807918

    What happened? Description:
    I initially was interested in trading for an MvM ticket (saw his listing on trade.tf) but by the time I contacted this user, it had been sold. I was traded a Strange Cloak and Dagger for 15 Refined even, not far below market value so I was not suspicious. However, hours later I was contacted by this user, and the classic admin scam seemingly was initiated.

    This user told me he had "accidentally" reported me directly to a "steam admin" and wanted me to get in contact with the user to remedy the problem. He said if I didn't my account would likely be banned. On steamrep this "admin" is community banned.​

    Provide Evidence:
    4 screenshots of chat from mobile have been uploaded.​
