Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Victim profile: 76561198117221457

What happened? Description:

A random person ("pyro kid" https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198812663865) that added me a few months ago came crying and whining to me, pleading for forgiveness. Told me he falsely reported me, and proceeded to ask me to friend a "moderator"- who is known as - and ask for forgiveness. I added . told me to activate my steam guard, and contact him a week after it had finally been activated. He told me that I needed to validate the authenticity of strange taunts, items that I don't even have, or else my account would be permanently banned. He showed me a video of him going to my steam profile page, that showed a notice on my profile warning of my potential ban. I knew this guy was fishy from the start, so I asked for proof. He sent me an obviously fabricated video of him showing off a steam moderator badge on his profile. On the day of having to speak with him again, before talking to him, I googled him, went onto steam rep, and saw that he has been already banned. I have not contacted him that day, and juts ignored him.​

I have noticed that you have a pending ban report issued on your account, random user(s) reported you for having duplicated items. Please refer to the video below.

Yes I do

[4/30/2019, 8:24 PM]

You don't have to worry here if you really are not involved in the said issue, I will remove the pending ban understood?

That is clear.
How would I go about doing that?
