Accepted Report: 76561198173150447 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198173150447

Victim profile: 76561198040365065

What happened? Description:

Got added by BSR2 telling me that he reported me for dupe items by accident.
After that, I was told by him to add Symbols, the Steam admin, to clear it up. I went along with it to get enough evidence.
Symbols wants me to prove my items are in good condition, namely all of my stranges, by trading them to a 'bot'.
After trading the stranges, they also want me to run a script, which probably hijacks the rest of my account. Pretty standard. They removed me after I called them out.​

Provide Evidence:

[16:52]
:
Alright please hold on i will update you.
Well I have noticed that you have a pending ban report issued on your account, random user reported you for having duplicated items. Please refer to the video
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....191/9610283ADCA073142CA8B1782978591C291AA926/

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

[16:54]
not Cry:
yes

[16:55]
:
You don't have to worry here if you really are not involved in the said issue, I will remove the pending ban understood?

[16:55]
not Cry:
i understand

[16:56]
:
All you need to do here is to make an appeal and prove that your item is in a good condition and it was a false accusation so that I will cancel the pending ban in your account is that clear?

[16:56]
not Cry:
yes

[16:57]
:
Alright You need to appeal on Valve Management team's program that is systematically locked by Valve and generated here : https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=909571568&token=ZkxoXAEF The program will implement system database related action regarding the items that has been reported. The process of clarifying takes 2-3 minutes and don't forget to confirm on your phone so I can check it right away.
The majority of the reports involve all your strange sir.
Please notify me when you're done submitting so i can send the script to run the program. I will notify you immediately if i receive the results log.

[16:58]
not Cry:
alright
