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: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198179896571

    Victim profile: 76561198030245569

    What happened? Description:
    User added me, was a friend of a friend, and I accepted. He then proceeded to tell me that I had a pending account ban, before telling me that I needed to correct it within one hour. I immediately called him out on his attempt, then he sent me an obviously doctored video of my "account" being prepared to be banned. Both the chat log and the doctored video are uploaded below.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The two files uploaded are both a chat log screenshot, and the video that is greened out in the uploaded chat log.​

    Please don't zip files here - nobody will extract them - UPload each one one by one on next reply.. Also who was the other user they suggested you add?
    Need the ID64 or SR profile block of that user asap!

    I won't be able to upload the video then. The person just added me randomly, but they were a friend of a friend of mine that I know is legit, so I assumed they just wanted to chat or something.

    Ok so its just a video.. no need it anyway. Can't use it.
    Make sure you reported user to Valve if you haven't already - its critical to see if they were compromised at any point or not..I don't know this but its maybe possible.

    I still need the ID64 or SR profile block of the user they told you to talk to.
    You haven't given that yet.

    They hadn't asked me to talk to anyone, only provided me with the aforementioned video. The entire chatlog was posted earlier.
