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: 76561198281386897

    Victim profile: 76561198245874496

    What happened? Description:
    He added me on steam around 4:15 AM. He started acting fishy from the start with questions like "Have you changed anything in your profile in the past few days?" or "Have you logged into any sites in the past few days" I went with it for a bit before he tried to pull the whole "I'm a steam admin and you have duped items. Let me verify those duped items or you will be banned" I went to his steam rep and found that he was already banned.​

    Because there is a random user that filed a ticket in your account for having a duplicated item.

    [4:17 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    Ah okay I was wondering where this was going

    [4:18 AM]
    MILLER:
    Noted: this is not a duplicated or bugged items in the community market or in a trading website but there is a random user that reported you that's why I am here to check and clarify If the said issue is true or false accusation is that clear?

    [4:18 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    And what is wrong with having a duplicated item?

    [4:18 AM]
    MILLER:
    Okay but you need to cooperate just for your account

    [4:18 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    I'm asking a question
    What is wrong with having a duplicated item?
    I'll cooperate when you answer that

    [4:21 AM]
    MILLER:
    Just follow what am i saying, I am just guiding you Mr.Sky 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 the bot will cancel the pending ban in your account is that clear
    it is bad to have dupe items Mr.Sky

    [4:22 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    Which item is in question?
    And if it's bad to have duped items why did valve dupe them for players?

    [4:23 AM]
    MILLER:
    This is from the Steam Community Valve that sent to workers.

    Oh wow

    MILLER:
    You dont need to go in there cause i am here to help you
    So are you still with me?

    [4:25 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    Sure why not

    [4:26 AM]
    MILLER:
    You will trust me after this and say thanks for my help.
    You need to appeal on Valve Item Checking program that is systematically locked by Valve and generated.

    [4:26 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    Okay okay
    Where do I go to appeal?

    [4:28 AM]
    MILLER:
    The process of clarifying takes 1-2 minutes so are you going to proceed or you will take the banned Mr.Sky

    [4:29 AM]
    ♫Sky♫:
    I would like to clarify something
    I'll be banned if I don't right?
    Banned like
    This?

    Your first mistake was assuming nothing would happen when you impersonated a steam admin to try and extort people for items and or money. This is a federal crime called "fraud" and is punishable in every country. Also a steam rep ban eventually leads to a steam ban. Especially if someone reports you with it. Have a good day Mr.Miller.
    Is there anything else you would like to add?
    Maybe a hi youtube?

    Once you found the user was already tagged/banned here you should have just deleted them and ignored them.
    Nothing more we can really do to them here. I'll add this one last note but after that no more reports will be reviewed for this user.
