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: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198840763926

    Victim profile: 76561198262592114

    What happened? Description:
    I was playing TF2 on a surf server and then got a message from a friend saying that my account was pending to be banned for duplication of items of my strange weapons and taunt from the user I am accusing of. I sent the accuser the friend request and message him about it. He said he wanted me to send my items to a fake bot account to "verify" my items , in which me and my partner had determined and found out he was impersonating an admin. After calling him out he had stop responding and unfriended me and coincidentally my friend had unfriended after he did.
    But, if this report doesn't work, I understand because of the issues of cropping or insufficient evidence.​

    This is NOT the first user you should be reporting - You basically reported the other user that was brought into the scam event. You must make sure from now on you report the FIRST user you were contacted by and who started the scam..you only need to reference any other accounts involved and describe HOW they were involved in the description by including the FULL SR profile block along with details of how they were involved.
    Also include any and all FULL screenshots you have as evidence.
    Please do not resubmit a new report - this one will do for now.

    @Zein Also need the chat screenshots from your FRIEND and full screen.
    I may not be able to review this report also unless you can provide full screenshots vs the cropped ones you have.

    Friends ID64 or SR profile block please.
    Also have you reported BOTH users to Valve yet.. the friend and the accused? If you haven't do so ASAP!
    Lastly how long have you known your friend?
    Do you have any other ways of contacting them outside of steam?

    No, he wouldn't have, even though we haven't played for months we still respect one another and rarely make fun of one another

    Prob because your friend was likely hijacked... make sure you've reported them to Valve so they can lock the account down. I'll leave that account alone for a few days to see if anything changes.
