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?

Note 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 im here to check and clarify if the said issue is true or false accusation is that clear?

xmas lights:

[10:03 AM]
Tam♥:
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 bans in your account is that clear?

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 bans on your account?
Are you still with me?

[10:10 AM]
Tam♥:

[10:13 AM]
xmas lights:
would a valve employee get vac-banned

[10:13 AM]
Tam♥:
yes

[10:18 AM]
xmas lights:
well i would recomend "valve" fix there grammer on your steam community (fraud prevention)
you know it's interesting

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....604/E196F2173D55D3BEF1385AE72099A211943A9480/

it says here that valve employees can be identified by the corresponding badges on their steam profile
yes you seem to have no badge
however

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....913/3A5B2D0EA1769E063FBABA4F2279B44936D7E26F/

here it says you are a valve employee
it's interesting isn't it
what do you think
and your other accounts were banned for cheating 2 times
isn't it bad practice to cheat in your own game
that's not very professional behaviour is it
i mean valve is a massave company
what do you have to say to this

[10:37 AM]
xmas lights:
then you unfriended me
