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.

    What happened? Description:
    They tried to do the whole "Hello, I've made a mistake and accidentally reported you, so you need to contact the admin i showed you or you will be banned" type of scam.
    I also have the details of the fake admin who has already been reported once in - Report: 76561198330620075

    Luckily I didn't fall for it, but I've reported the incident anyway.
    On another note, i didn't know the one scamming me, he just friended me randomly.​

    Provide Evidence:
    As you can see in the attached files, the accused randomly messaged me and said that they 'accidentally' reported me and that i needed to the admin or 'support' and complain so that the report can be removed.
    So, I contacted the 'support' and it seemed fine at first until they (presumably a bot) asked me to take a screenshot of my transaction history. And yes, I'm not stupid enough to give my transaction/account history to a complete stranger, which is why I've reported both of them.​
