What happened? Description:

The accused user attempted to scam items off of me by claiming to be a Steam Community Admin and that the items in question were duplicates that could get my account banned.

The accused user is a former client who requested a Garry's Mod artwork commission. After the commission was completed, they remained on my friends list and we went on to play games together.

The accused user messaged me with a link to a Steam Community guide providing a list of supposed Steam Community Admins:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1518051789

After stating that I had several bans pending on my account regarding duplicated items, the accused user linked me back to the guide's "Appeal a Judgement" section, where it states that to repeal the supposed bans, the items in question are to be traded to the Community Admin who will check the items with a verification software.

The accused user then attempted to pressure me into trading him the items by threatening to push the bans on my account through.

During the time I claimed to be reading the guide, I referenced SteamRep's list of Steam Community Admins, to which the accused user was not listed on.

The accused user again attempted to pressure me into trading them the items, to which I started referencing the information I had gathered.

As I provided more and more evidence against the accused user's claims of being a Community Admin and being able to ban my account, the accused user left the conversation by unfriending me.​
