Detailed Explanation / Screenshots / Demos:

Soviet Fireball was impersonating a steam admin and scammed me of 2 unusuals, this is not the only instance of this happening : http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198162359199

I know I'm not getting the items back I just want him banned​

In all honesty his grammar should have been a big give away :sweatsmile:

This is the same chatlog but this one is a little bit neater:

 

[Sargent¥]

@Br!ck I'm going to mark this user because the evidence is enough to warrant a tag but can you provide us with screenshots of your trade history to confirm he scammed you?

 

[Br!ck]

@Sargent¥ is this good?:

 

[Br!ck]

@Sargent¥ or this?

 

[ArayhMD]

Did you guys also mark the Item Database Verification Bot Steam Profile.

 

[Sargent¥]

@Br!ck Can you provide us the link to the "Item Database Verification Bot" so it can be tagged as well? Also, is there more to the chat you provided?

 

[ArayhMD]

Brick linked me the Item Database Program:

Evidently it got trade banned.

However digging into trade history/moving items around, looks like there's another one: which probably is just another copy, and there's going to be tons more.

Soviet Fireball here.

Somebody had hijacked my account and began to attempt scamming my friends. I never actually did this; someone posing as a Valve employee (who was also using a friend's account they had hijacked as well) asked me for my "duped items," saying they were "illegal." I complied, and I must have clicked on some link or something, because even though I didn't give them my password, they got into my account and I had to file a Steam support ticket.

PROOF:



Trade History with the User in Question:

Profile Of Friend That Was Hijacked: https://steamcommunity.com/id/897987987986546/



CHAT LOG WITH SCAMMER AS THE INCIDENT UNFOLDED: https://imgur.com/gallery/uYpj9MP

NOTE: After the last image in the chat log album, I was automatically signed out of my account and no longer able to access it (until I filed a ticket to Steam Support and they reset the account password and email address).

If any further proof is required, I will add it in future posts to this thread.

Thank you,
(the real) Soviet Fireball

@Soviet Fireball The trade screenshots need to be uncropped.

 

[Br!ck]

@Sargent¥ you mean this?
Soviet sent it to me in chat

 

[Jar of Flies]

@Sargent¥ @Br!ck Yes, that's the correct screenshot. I must have forgotten to put it in.

@Soviet Fireball Once your account has been recovered, make an appeal here: https://www.skial.com/forms/appeal-scam.7/respond

I've marked the bot and accused (with the latter for the time being). Thank you for the report! Locking.
