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: 76561198190680209

    Victim profile: 76561198084324431

    What happened? Description:
    I added from backpack.tf.
    I assumed from the begining that this user was trying to scam people due to the account impersonating a larger tf2 trader. They asked for my unsual item and wanted to pay overpay for it but to ensure that the items were valid and to keep us safe, the accused asked me to add a steam admin/developer to verify that by item was not duped or bugged. This account which the accused wanted me to add went under the name "Mr. Gibus" (Steam Id64: 76561198890955444). From then, they loosely impersonated a steam admin (which the account has been flagged on steamrep for) and sent me a trade link to an account named "System Authorise Database" (Steam64 Id: 76561198996044926). From then on i just wasted the scammers time until inviting a friend posing as anonymous to the group chat they had created just to end all conversation.​

    Mr. Gibus has changed his name to "Dr. BobHope". "DATA BREACH" is just my friend and they are not involved in the scam. I hope these new screeshots are ok :)

    Ok since you still have the chat boxes open that is good - open one and hover mouse pointer over accused name/profile image so I can see the popup for their steam profile.
    I'm unable to determine proper identity at this time and will need that or a screenshot of friend activity of you adding this user.

    Accused was community banned and therefore no longer a threat as likely hijacked!
    Will archive to prevent additional hardship up on the accused.
    Any time you get something like this just report it to Valve instead!
    Thanks!
