Accused profile: 76561198827262202

Victim profile: 76561198439159919

What happened? Description:

I was playing tf2 and suddenly I got an email from a person on my friends list

He directed me to the person that could "fix" my pending ban problem. I didnt know anything about bans and what where schemes or not because it had never happened to me.

The person he directed to me was
https://steamcommunity.com/id/Community-Admin-support23
Mr.Jonas Agguire

He took me through steps on how to fix it. He asked for
My gmail account details
My steam account details
2 steam guard codes on my mobile (self generated)
And a steam gift card. Either 20, 50 or 100.

I didnt get to screen shot our conversation on steam, because I blocked him before thinking about it. But there is some evidence on our discord conversation.

Then he asked for the 3 items that were "reported"
My unusual
Strange and one unique

I gave them to him and then he further asked for a whole range of more items which I ended up dumbly giving to him. And then when I finally realised I was being scammed, I had to change my steam account details and my gmail and also locked down my steam for a bit.​

Provide Evidence:

View attachment 690585 View attachment 690586 This trade was when he asked to scan my items into the data base.
View attachment 690588 View attachment 690589 View attachment 690590 This just repeats with him just saying how much Im getting and when im going to get it View attachment 690591 When he gave me the trade offer, that's who I ended up trading with.
View attachment 690592 $$General Puppetmuster2138 sent me this, which was the picture to make me believe I had a pending ban​

This is what he told me
