Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198302964825

Victim profile: 76561198059359525

What happened? Description:

User claimed to be an Valve admin, linking to a guide that listed him as a community admin.

User proceeded to tell me that my items had been reported as being duplicated, and told me to go through a 'verification process' . Upon asking what time frame I had to comply, he stated I had only 20 minutes in order to do so. User claimed that I would be banned if I did not comply.


I had the user on my friend list, however I have not talked to them much​

:
Did you change something in your account earlier?
JustSatori
:
Like what? Do youm ean like something on my profile, or on my acocunt?
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
Cause there is a random user that filed a ticket in your account for having a duplicated item and are you aware that if you cant prove your self here that your item is in good condition your account will be banned permanently?
JustSatori
:
I have no idea. I haven't even bought anything recently either
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
Note this is not a duplicated or bugged items in the comunity market or in a trading website but there is a random user that reported you that's why im here to check and clarify if the said issue is true or false accusation is that clear?
you dont have to worry here if you really not inv0lved in the said issue I will remove the pending ban understood?
JustSatori
:
Alright then
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
all you need to 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?
and have you already read the process?
JustSatori
:

Below the Cash trading you will see item verification process read #1-6
Tell me when you are done reading
The process of verification takes 2-3 minutes so are you going to proceed or you will just take the 3 pending ban on your account?
JustSatori
:
I'm a bit busy, how lnog do I got?
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
You only have 20 minutes to comply
JustSatori
:
I'm calling bullshit. 20 minutes is a very narrow time frame for any sort of notification. You also refuse to state which item it is when I asked.
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
Strange Construction PDA / Strange Invis Watch / Genuine Ap-Sap / Strange Teddy Roosebelt / Strange Festive /Strange Quick-Fix
Please note its only takes 2-3 minutes to verify your items
So are you going to continue or should i start the banning process?
The banning process on your account are ready to activate
So
JustSatori
:
Now that I think about it as well,a guide is a pretty iffy way of handling this information. It's pretty important, I think Steam would have its own webpage for it
✪ Panzer ✪ (reisen)
:
Btw this recent user that i banned for not complying and wasted my time

Should i proceed the banning process now?
Hello

Update: User claimed to have been phished. Considering I haven't seen this behavior from them at all before, I'm inclined to believe them.
