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: 765611398274436390

    Victim profile: 76561198112855010

    What happened? Description:
    The accused added me and wanted to buy my strange festive specialized killstreak minigun for 8 mann co keys. But then he said that he wanted to make sure my items are not "glitched" and that he will send a ticket to steam support and find a "steam official" (actually his alt) to make sure my items are not glitched.

    I added his alt and we proceeded to start a group chat (no evidence as I was banned from it before I could take a picture). In the group chat he had asked me to give my item to him so he could magically verify that it is not glitched and he would give it back. After I told the accused in the group chat that he is trying to scam me, both of the accounts unfriended me and blocked me.

    His alt:

    | steamname: Rodney McKay
    | steam3ID: [U:1:1036912744]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:518456372
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198997178472
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198997178472

    The alt account was created on the 16th of October, the day the accused tried to scam me.
    Bazaar.tf score on the account: https://bazaar.tf/score/76561198997178472​

    Provide Evidence:
    Scum is the accused profile.

    Joke is his alt.

    Scam 1-4 is the chat with the accused.

    Scam 5 is the chat with the alt.​
