    I clearly stated that this scammer attempt to scam me by pretending as steam staff with alt account, hence the reason I accuse this person in the first place

    Yes I read the description and the evidence does show the accused involved... are you complaining because they don't have a tag yet? I told you the report would be reviewed again soon.
    As for the alt accusation - that is just you guessing that is the case - for all you know its two users working together.
    Don't make assumptions on the involvement of any account.

    Be patient - don't be so quick to get someone tagged here - our purpose is to educate others not fling ban tags around.
