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.

    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198445430966

    Victim profile: 76561198045683156

    What happened? Description:
    -I get a chat message from accused
    -says that I have a so-called "pending ban report"

    However, a quick google leads to other users asking the same question, along the lines of "legit or not?"

    Well, it's pretty obvious here that it isn't

    Accused sends a link to "steam admin":
    https://steamcommunity.com/id/Official-holtmanMOD

    Which is an impersonator of:
    https://steamcommunity.com/id/BinderSlinger

    //(not really a victim though but dodged a faulty bullet lol)​

    Provide Evidence:
    it was a short confrontation though, beyond my visible chat message in the image he insisted that the "admin" is there and told me to "scroll down" to see (if it's legitimate or not? i don't know, probably)

    The last messages I sent (not visible) though are just me not buying it and telling him he's been reported

    Impersonator link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Official-holtmanMOD
    Impersonated person from steam mod list: https://steamcommunity.com/id/BinderSlinger

    pretty shady for a "steam admin" to have only 2 years of service and having only 10 friends?

    also the comments on the impersonating profile are all from this week, funny​

    I think he added me a few months back (we had a steam group in common and also a mutual friend of said group's owner, which i am also a friend of)
    however this exchange was the first time he messaged me

    and I only know the impersonator because of accused sending link to his profile.

    @Fujiwara Mikuru Do you have other means to contact that user? It is very possible that account is hijacked/compromised. Try to make contact again, perhaps the groups owner may also be able to. Would like to confirm this before issuing any tag.

    I do not have any more contact with the user, messaged the group's owner and he also did not have any contact or communication with him whatsoever, even prior to this event

    @Fujiwara Mikuru This user you accused has 3 different ways of contact on their profile..one being discord.
    Please use one of those to confirm with that user their status.. I want to make 100% sure if they were compromised or not.

    Ok can you inform them to contact steam support by submitting a ticket so they can regain control of the account? Then post here in this report that they've recovered it so I can get more information from them pls?

    I think he can no longer take back his account by any means based on his words (imo), but that aside,

    he said he still has the chat with the person who stole the account, it's on discord though
