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.

    I had this guy added on my friends list for awhile now. We met every now and then by chance in tf2 and so added each other. Keep in mind he hasn't talked to me in probably years.

    He goes on to tell me he accidentally reported me for item scamming. He then links my the accused account and tells me that the accused is a 'steam admin' and asks me to contact him for verification. Everything is basically in the evidence I'm providing. That aside, here's a link of the (i admit pretty well done video editing) fake link he sent:
    https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd...850/DEE6322B3DD80A7C82B52B453124DF4863915CC6/

    I don't know whats funnier, the fact that the accused sent me this after i was super skeptical with the accomplice or the fact that the link's posted on akamaihd. Lel​

    Hello @danielyeohqf

    Need to confirm identity to the other user you said you were involved with first. Follow next set of instructions.
    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, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide should you need assistance:

    Umm both the accomplice and accused have already unfriended me. However, i managed to get to a friend's profile of the accomplice to get the screenshot of her(or his) activity.

    That's fine, you can still access this even after you are unfriended. Just go to your activity tab in a web browser, scroll down until you find the part where you and XELA (I dont need the other one) added each other (it will generally be right at the bottom of today's activity), hover your cursor over their avatar and take a screenshot like you did above.

    Thanks.

    In the top right of the My Activity area, there is a "Friend Activity" link, you may need to click this. Apologies, but for me it's usually auto selected. May also be worth checking the settings link right next to it to see if the add a new friend option is selected.

    Um i still can't find it. My bad I really can't. Is it because he added and removed me in too short a time? The entire exchange took like 10 minutes

    OK, without the proof of friendship between you are the main accused, we likely won't be able to tag him for such. Additionally, he was already banned by us for another evidence anyway.

    How do you know Autumn Blaze? Are they a friend? If they are, can you try contacting them outside of Steam in case they were hijacked?

    I'll mark this for review by an admin.

    Please remember this in the future @danielyeohqf
    Always report the user you were FIRST involved with - provide FULL screenshots of the users profile WHILE friends not afterwards to verify identity.
