Hello

[1:02 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Good day.
You are messaging an official Steam Helper.
How can I help you, Steam User?

[1:03 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
There have beeen some false reports on my account

[1:04 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Well, let me check if you have any pending reports. I'm going to use Steam Reports Database.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....935/12CF8326F97C7CBA1128809A8335DA27EB1EF960/

Report#104581. You have pending reports those required to be removed. Otherwise, your account will be permanently BANNED. As the reports were filled for scamming, you will recieve a Community Ban that restricts all the features available for a Steam user (no chats, no friend adds, no community servers available, etc).
Do you wish to remove the pending reports?

[1:07 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
yes but how is this going to work?

[1:07 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Follow my instructions and answer the questions I ask to remove the reports.

[1:07 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
ok ok

[1:07 μ.μ.]
Steve:
For now, answer a few simple questions before we start the procedure of the Verification.
Do you have any items involved in a fraud?

[1:08 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
what kind of items?

[1:09 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Any scammed items.
Do you own?

[1:10 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
as far as i know i havent scammed anyone

[1:11 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Alright. I only need to fill your personal card in Steam Reports Database. That is why I am asking.
Please, call me the markets where you were buying/trading your items. Such: Steam Community Market, Mann Co. in-game Store, http://backpack.tf, http://scrap.tf etc.

[1:12 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
Like their phone ?

[1:13 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Where did you buy or trade your items? Like in-game Store, so on.

[1:13 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
oh thats what you mean
i dont remember

[1:13 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Have you ever bought anything at Mann Co. in-game store?

[1:14 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
No

[1:14 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Do you have any items currently listed at Steam Community Market?

[1:14 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
No

[1:14 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Alright. I will remove the pending reports. But firstly, we should complete a simple process of the Verification your items.
Do you know the procedure of the Verification? Or is it your first time?

[1:15 μ.μ.]
Slyxeth:
I am completely new

[1:15 μ.μ.]
Steve:
Alright. There are 4 steps required to be done:
1. I only scan your inventory for suspicious items using Steam Verification Scanner.
2. I name you the suspicious items which required to be verified. You should send them to official Steam Item Database BOT.
3. Item Database BOT verifies your items so I will be able to clean up your pending reports. It takes about 2-3 minutes.
4. You receive your items back and enjoy continuing using Steam Services without bans. Also, you will get special Verification Certificate such this:

Everything is understood?

@Horse I am terribly sorry for the wait but at the moment I did the report I wasn't using my computer, so I didn't have the chat log from the other chat. I'll report the other account the scammer used ASAP once I get home.

@Horse I have the screenshots the name and generally the imformation of the first person who contacted me would you like me to make another report or should i just send you the files? This was the first time someone tried to scam me so im sorry for making some mistakes while making the report.
