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.

    Admin told me that your account will be permanently trade ban and steam community locked
    And also once your account will be ban you can't even play any games

    afterwards they directed me to user https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198872469289
    who stated they were an admin and was looking into this report
    they then got me to login to their steam account and put $200 into the steam wallet they said they would reimburse me.
    later i then realised i had become a victim of fraud​

    @Black Ninja Ace Ok so for starters none of the text docs are acceptable evidence.
    The png file don't crop images together like that - just take FULL screenshots as many as needed as you chat.

    Was this the first one to contact you and direct you as you stated to the accused - if that is the case you are doing this report backwards.
    You report the FIRST user you were in contact with, not the fake admin or other users mentioned.
    Over all however this report turned into a phishing attempt with regards to asking for login information therefore we do not review these reports.

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy
    http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/investigative-policy.140101/

    This includes anything to do with API key requests, wrong or misspelled URL's and sites requesting logins of any type in attempts to steal your credentials.
    These are phishing/hijacking attempts and are not to be reported to SteamRep!

    You can report the user to Valve instead
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT
