Unfortunately, we can't discuss any specific cases via Twitter. If you had an appeal unfairly denied, you can submit an appeal review, for special permission to re-appeal in extenuating circumstances. forums.steamrep.com/forms/ap…
Burden of proof is 100% on you for an appeal review.
PLEASE don't do this. @scotthelen136 is not from Steam Support, and trying to further scam you. Don't give him ANY information.
Our appeal backlog is finally cleared! Special thanks to our head of appeals and his team for all the work they put into it. forums.steamrep.com/threads/…

Posting any manner of PII is against our guidelines and all admins know that. The admin who issued that tag, some time prior to 2011, left SteamRep long ago.

If you go to a site that asks for your Steam credentials, to be safe: don't login at that screen
1. Go to Steams normal site and login from there
2. You should then see the sign in option (see below)
3. If not, most likely the site isn't actually having you log into Steam (scam)
We don't post a warning based on number of reports alone. Scammers are known to doctor and mass-file reports out of spite towards victims who don't give up their items.
If we can't prove that a scam happened, then we don't ban. Would you prefer if you got reported and banned with fake evidence because we were less strict?
"No Special Reputation" doesn't mean "safe to trade with", and shouldn't be the only factor to decide if someone's a risk.
Just to add: As explained in our thread, it's very possible to mean well when engaging in this kind of internet vigilantism, but end up stealing from someone innocent and giving it to a scammer. It's more important to understand WHY we take this stance, than WHAT our position is.
Taking the trade to voice (or Skype, Discord, etc) is an age-old trick scammers use to cover their tracks, so Steam Support can't follow it. As a 3rd-party, we have even less access than Steam Support. Scammers could just say "that wasn't me" in their defense.
If the conversation took place outside of Steam, then we'd theoretically need a PROVABLE way to tie it back to the same Steam ID, and a way of proving it wasn't altered. If the conversation happened over voice, there's no way to prove that's what was said, or it was the same guy.
As for the report from last June, the victim took the trade ENTIRELY to a VOICE call in Discord. It's literally just their word against his at this point. So the report was declined for lacking evidence.
But I'm guessing a year-old report isn't what this is about... (post 2/?)
We can't act on reports from Twitter, but the victim is free to report the scam directly to SteamRep, or a partner community like @redditCSGO or @backpacktf.
