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: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198170373689

    Victim profile: 76561198038863774

    What happened? Description:
    Three accounts involved.
    The Bait, Fake Admin, and Trade Bot

    The first account involved was a friend of mine who I knew since the Garry's Mod days.
    I noticed their account went inactive for a week or so but didn't really mind.
    After their brief inactivity, they send me a message that they accidentally reported me for duped items. They tell me to go to the "steam admin" to clear things up. I went to the steam admin and he then tells me that I was reported for duplicated items and I had a pending ban. He showed me a video that he can ban my account and I foolishly believed him. He sent me a trade bot so it can verify that I don't have duplicated items. I sent my items and then the fake admin tells me i need to give my username and steam guard codes so he can give my items back. From there my steam account was hijacked and had to get steam support to recover it. My account is safe but my items were still taken away.

    Well, with all the things that's happening in life, I didn't really have the time to gather all my evidence and sit down to do this. I also discovered this site existed two weeks ago from a friend that recommended me to go. I also noticed that my the bait friend unfriend me and started to the same thing to other users in that friends lists.
