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 one of the victims friends contact me last night about the scam.
    The most I was really able to say is report it here and Steam Support (hopefully it would help) and its just sad to see how much was lost. :(

    If he is in fact in "trade servers" then perhaps you should post up the IP#'s to those servers or better yet get them to run the SR plugin so scammers can't join them. If you know people that are in these servers and they refuse to do so and wish to continue support of scammers joining their servers then point those friends to servers that do - you can find many from those of us that are listed on the front page.

    He is from Aussie what is he gonna do ? sue Valve ? doubt it. I dont feel sorry for him at all in anyway, i do however feel sorry for the woman listed as his girlfriend as i have a feeling she is getting tons of hate. 3400 usd scam goes below fraud and is a federal offence the guy belongs in jail for all i care.

    hmm, I did hear sometime (like 1-2 months) ago GHS was running the SR plugin... seems they either do not anymore, or only name-changing.

    I joined him on GHS myself. Also I have other friends who are marked who use to actively visit GHS. I can without a doubt say they either do not use an SR plugin or it has just been broken for ages.

    I was not the one who discovered this. I am simply the compiler of facts and information.

    hmm, the SourceMod SR plugin is public, anybody can install it without asking us.

    was more thinking of a list on SR with servers protected by the SR plugin ?. Would be nice to know what servers are at least a bit safe ^^

    He's not using my servers unless the SR plugin is broke. We have it enabled and running.
