    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud

    Accused profile: 76561198431713863

    What happened? Description:
    NOTE: I have not traded my items but i'm filing this report to basically find out if this admin is real.
    This "admin" had contacted one of my friends telling me that i have a pending ban request and told me to add him. ( I believe he was not directly involved but here's his ID:76561198322925539) I had the conversation on the screenshots in this report. He later switched to discord and we had a conversation there.​

    Do you have any other means of contacting the accused? such as with discord, skype or something other than steam?
    Do you remember talking to them at all prior to now?

    Ok and there is NO such thing as a steam admin - Valve will never contact you via a steam profile.. never ever never!

    Your report was accepted and the accused was banned. Feel free to report a violation via their Steam profile.

    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    Just a note - I feel the Cactus user was compromised/hijacked - already community banned by Valve so I will let Valve handle that account.
