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.

    Victim profile: 76561198392317587

    What happened? Description:
    Attempted to perform a classic steam admin impersonation scam on me, failing miserably. Blocked me soon after catching him.

    He contacted me randomly, presumably through a Australium Force a Nature listing I put on Backpack.tf, asking me to add him for ‘non trading related discussion’ on one of my screenshots. (The one with a war painted shotgun). After about a day he opened with this conversation provided in the uploaded screenshots.

    No trade was made, no items were gained or lost. I knew what was going on the entire time.​

    Excuse my report type, I saw ‘scam attempt’ and just selected it.

    Actual report type would be impersonation with intent to defraud.
