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.

    What happened? Description:
    A few hours ago this guy added me and ask me why I had a Fog ban. I asked him what that was and he avoided my question and tells me hes talking to a steam admin who is going to ban and lock my account if I don't fix the FoG report. I try and get him to explain what this is all about and eventually he says I have a pending report on my account and it will be banned in 12 hours. He sends me a steam link to a short video of him supposedly reporting my account to Valve which actually looks convincing, kinda. I would post it here but I dont know if its allowed to use post external sites. Anyways, He then sends me a link to another account claiming it to be the account of a moderator. And says he will give me instructions.​

    What fake steam admin? You didn't include any info on that account when it was clearly mentioned.
    I'll need the ID64 or SR profile block asap!
