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.

    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198163598025

    Victim profile: 76561198218879819

    What happened? Description:
    Random add by a person named "Torbatek", the initiator of the scam. Tells me he accidentally reported me for duplicated items to a steam 'admin' called 'Unknown', need to appeal and prove to them it's an accident. Admin adds me and tells me to accept the following trade offer they have sent to 'verify' my items lol. Dawdled around until I removed them.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Attatched images of both accused profiles, their conversations with me, and the trade offer sent by the 'verification' bot.
    The initiator, who I didn't put as the main accused on this report due to the second scammer actually impersonating as a fake steam admin, should still be treated the same as he assisted in pulling off a scam/fraudulent behavior.

    The first scammer added me first by pasting a comment on my profile for some discussion on a question
    Turns out to be a scam attempt.
    I'm almost positively sure that the reasoning of why I'm a popular pick for scammers is due to some high value items I carry in my inventory.
    Nonetheless, here's another report.

    @Dobu 오빠 Please report the user you were FIRST involved with - you did this completely backwards.
    | steamname: Torbatek
    | steam3ID: [U:1:872659172]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:436329586
    | steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198832924900
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198832924900

    This is the user you should have reported...

    I'll review this again shortly but please remember how you need to submit a report here - it causes a slow down when you don't report the user you were FIRST in contact with.
