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: 76561198796652351

    Victim profile: 76561198152186245

    What happened? Description:
    There's actually 2 scammers, the person I put above is the """admin""". This person is the "pawn":

    | steamname: Diamond Hoe
    | steam3ID: [U:1:159060869]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:79530434
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198119326597
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198119326597

    This "pawn" adds me to tell me he "accidentally reported" me for "having dupes". Having this scam attempted on me once before, I decided to play dumb this time. Read the chat logs for the rest.

    Things of note:
    - The Steam glitching out thing is legit and not me playing dumb
    - My Steam username is not actually "dan9er", I played really dumb by "thinking" he meant my display name
    - I never got a trade offer from one of those Steam Database bots (that I now know you ban often). After half an hour I got bored of waiting and reset my trade URL
    - The """admin""" uses custom URLs to make it look like he has a different ID than he actually has, this threw me off guard when first gathering info​

    Provide Evidence:

    dan9er:
    hello?
    why did you add me

    Diamond Hoe:
    oh hey

    dan9er:

    Diamond Hoe:

    dan9er:

    Diamond Hoe:

    dan9er:

    Diamond Hoe:

    @Dan9erTheGamer You don't report this user - you report the FIRST user you were involved with or the PAWN as you put it.
    You basically did this report backwards.
    I'll review this again soon but keep that in mind please.. you start off with the FIRST user you were contacted by or who started the scam event always!

    Adding this user to the mix as they are also friends and clearly doing the same as the accused/fake steam admin based on evidence provided.

    In the future please do FULL screenshots from a PC not mobile- mobile is hard to review.
    Also always get a FULL screen of the users profile WHILE friends - it helps verify identity.
    Since you failed to do this I need to verify this info against the PAWN or the FIRST user you were contacted by to confirm the event.
    Follow next set of instructions:
    Issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide should you need assistance:

    Ok then we can't conclusively say you were talking to that "PAWN" or FIRST user you should have reported and we can't prove they were involved at all without proper proof of identity.
    That is why its essential to get a FULL screen of users profiles WHILE friends at all times.
    I'll review this again shortly but I do believe we have all we will get.
