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: 76561198859848053

    Victim profile: 76561198167336382

    What happened? Description:
    The user (who was a Steam friend of mine) came up to me claiming that he had accidentally reported me to a Steam admin instead of a friend who scammed him. He then proceeded to say I was going to get banned if I didn't add the admin. The admin, however, was not a steam admin and was not labeled as one on Steamrep. I let it play out, but the supposed steam admin wasn't adding me, so I just gave up, but the user in question tried to keep me on and sent me another link to an "admin" (who wasn't labeled on steamrep as well.) I eventually gave up after a while. There was some more afterward but I don't have the screenshots and unfriended the user immediately afterward.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Images linked below should show the scam.​

    @Sanaralerx Who was the other user they told you to add? I need the ID64 ASAP!
    Also since this is a steam friend of yours doesn't it seem rather odd they would do this all of a sudden? Sounds as if the account may have been hijacked..have you reported it to Valve yet? If no do so ASAP!
    Also do you have any other way of contacting the accused outside of steam?

    I do not know him outside Steam. We simply played together in a few TF2 games. I just reported the account now.
