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.

There are not enough answers!

    To sum things up for you
    1) He has a shiny red Scammer tag
    2) What do you mean? Him to return your items?
    3) They stole your credentials. They possibly also got access to your email account aswell. Better change your password
    4) You cannot 'bypass' the Steam Guard code they have in place. Each time there is a random one generated. They may have gotten an email themselves getting the code
    5) No, it is not Steam Guard's problem. Not to be rude, but you need to distinguish between real and fake Steam links.
    6) If you sent a support ticket, please be patient for them to get your account back.

    I got scammed before. Someone used renamed courier for scam me. I didn't know that and agreed trade. I understand that I agreed trade, so steam don't return my items. But in this case its different right? I didn't agreed that trade, its just my account stolen and trade made by without me. And SteamRep already accepted it as stolen account crime. I still hoping Steam return my items. Steam can check that my stolen accounts trading history right? Somebody please talk to me. Right now, I'm really depressed and need some answers.

    And what is that tag? You said "He has a shiny red Scammer tag". What is it mean? I'm almost new in Steam. Can he play games by Steam? Can he buy something from steam? Can he do trade?

    Since this is your 1st time getting hijacked, Steam Support should grant back your items and your account.

    That means he's banned from most trading servers/sites.

    All you can really do now is wait for their answer. I highly suggest that you be careful of fake links next time, because if you fall for this again, you won't get your items back.

    There is really no way people can 'bypass' the Steam guard PIN code that they give you. Since you said earlier there has been no other change in the IP's which have been logging in and out of your Email, then that leads me that you might have been compromised as in infected via Keylogger or another form of monitering tool

    There may be some confusion here--- these forums right here and the site Steamrep is NOT affiliated with Valve Software and cannot prevent people from doing anything on Steam.

    If you need to discuss this issue with Valve / official Steam Support, you must submit a ticket via Steam Support: https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php

    This site (SteamRep) just helps the community by warning/marking scammers. We can't control Steam or Valve and can't give items back. We're a volunteer organization.

    reply that. tell how you got your game(s) on your account. also, find in your gmail the first valve mail and make a screenshot of the activation of your steam account email. post that on steam support. (NOT here)

    as for how they got on your account, they gained probably access to your account by you logging into a fake steam login site, that asked you for:
    - Login name
    - Password
    - And subsequently to "activate" your browser with the SteamGuard code.

    A Bot then tried logged into steam with your credentials and did its malicious work.
