What happened? Description:

I did not know them whatsoever but another person under the name Kilobyte said that my items had been duplicated and someone was impersonating me. "Kilobyte" then linked the accused's account and told me to talk to them. The accused then showed me a video regarding a "pending ban" on my account. This got me a little bit worried and I did some quick research to see how to find a steam admin and noticed that a "pending ban" does not exist at all. After confronting them and calling their bluff, they showed another screen where they are about to delete my account if I don't submit an appeal. I then came to this page and went to submit a report.

Hello steam-user! State your reason why did you add me.

[8:43 PM]
Private Pybro:
Apparently someone has been going around impersonating me and someone has reported me and you can remove a pending ban.

[8:44 PM]
S M O K E:
Good day to you could you please give me the full details about this accident like a screenshot of the conversation between that user.

I have no idea as to the details of the accident, however he says that someone had impersonated me while trading duped items

[8:46 PM]
S M O K E:
Kindly hold on a minute while i'm reviewing the report filed on your steam account.
Here kindly review and let me know if you will make an appeal about the said issue cause if you can't prove that you are innocent here your steam account will be deleted permanently.

[8:49 PM]
Private Pybro:
I would like to first ask what I've been accused of.

[8:50 PM]
S M O K E:
You have been accusing for scamming, having duped items and for impersonating with someone, but i need you to prove your self here that you are innocent and you are not doing some of those things, understood?

[8:50 PM]
Private Pybro:
Okay. First, which items have been duplicated.

[8:51 PM]
S M O K E:
I will explain the procedure, alright?

[8:51 PM]
Private Pybro:
Sure

[8:51 PM]
S M O K E:
All you need to do in here is to cooperate.

[8:52 PM]
Private Pybro:
However, I have no way to prove myself as completely innocent if I, myself, have no idea what caused this misconception that I have scammed, duped items and impersonated someone.

[8:52 PM]
S M O K E:
That's why you need to make an appeal so that you can prove that you didnt do anything so that the pending ban will be canceled and this report case will be closed immediately. You dont have to worry about the process, and Im also recording this transaction so you're safe in the hands of Steam Community Support. You can comply anytime you want.
We are here to remove the accusation report on your account, so we need to proceed, okay?

[8:54 PM]
Private Pybro:
If I could kindly ask a question before we continue ...

[8:54 PM]
S M O K E:
Yes of course.

[8:54 PM]
Private Pybro:
Where is your Valve Employee Badge?
All admins/moderators have them.

[8:55 PM]
S M O K E:
This is a private investigation regarding cases such as this, having a badge would ruin the community for its sake of safe keeping. I am not an official mod but directly held by Valve Fraud Prevention team.

[8:55 PM]
Private Pybro:
uh huh

[8:56 PM]
S M O K E:
So shall we proceed?

[8:56 PM]
Private Pybro:
No, it's fine if I lose my steam account.
Thank you, and goodbye. <3
I apologise for wasting your time.

[8:57 PM]
S M O K E:
Is it okay for you that your account will be deleted?

[8:57 PM]
Private Pybro:
Yes.

[8:57 PM]
S M O K E:
Well, i guess.
I am going to unfriend you right away.

[9:00 PM]
Private Pybro:
But if you delete my account, you won't have to

[9:00 PM]
S M O K E:
Why?
We only need to confirm it right now.

[9:00 PM]
Private Pybro:
Oke but it's just extra effort for you

[9:01 PM]
S M O K E:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....489/4558B3A456902F854E81E2E0D346EE05FBEC173D/
