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: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198850915612

    Victim profile: 76561198122589898

    What happened? Description:
    He added me and I only noticed his friend request at 10:51 AM 10/20/2018, so then I accepted and asked him why he added me, and then at 10:41 PM he asked me why I had a pending report. I then started to tell him about how pending reports aren't a thing and asked him how I would know if he was a real "Steam admin". He then replied that he wasn't and it was his friend who told him to tell me, and then proceeded to link a user who had a private profile which he said was the admin, saying I should add him. I then told him how this isn't the first time I've seen the pending ban scam, and linked him to the list of Steam Moderators which the user he linked was not on. I then noticed how the screenshot he sent attempting to convince me I had bans had a SteamRep checker thing that said I had a pending ban on here as well. I then told him that SteamRep is not affiliated with Steam, and how there were tons of warnings about pending bans. He then proceeded to unfriend me.​

    Listen this isn't the first time I've seen someone try the whole "Hey you're about to get beaned, go to this "steam admin" who'll give you a link to prove you're not a cheater, but the link is a virus" or however it goes
    Also don't see that moderator anywhere on the steam community moderators list

    Steam Community :: Moderators
    https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/moderators

    Also why do you have the SteamRep checker on there, SteamRep is not affiliated with Steam/Valve, they just help with fraud and scam prevention if I recall correctly
    Also ironic how steamrep themselves have a huge disclaimer about how pending bans aren't a thing

    @kittrz It is important that in the future you provide info on all users - SR profile blocks - lucky I was able to find it off that custom URL you had in the chat text before they changed it.
    | steamname: Mr. Robert
    | steam3ID: [U:1:898930498]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:449465249
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198859196226
    | customURL: https://steamcommunity.com/id/CcommunityadminRobert
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198859196226
    Also super important that you always get a FULL screenshot of users profile WHILE friends to help verify identity to the user you are reporting.
    I was unable to verify that another way so follow next set of instructions

    Thanks - 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 and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HEREā€¦NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide to help you:
