Purple Smart Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Context: Frendo, out of the blue, sent me a message that he accidentally reported me because me mistook me for someone who scammed him and has possessions of duped items, and now he wants to make me add this "Steam Admin" (Though I asked him if its Steam Moderator and not admin, he said yes). Screenshot Checked his SteamRep.tf, I'm not sure if there's any special rep (or badge) for "Steam Mods" "Steam Mod"'s Profile in question: Sus? Or am I really just overreacting?

Diamond jozu Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 There is no such thing as Steam Admin or Steam Moderator. There is only Valve Employees and Steam Community Moderator. Valve employees are people who work in the valve company while SCM are people who mainly work on the steam discussion page.i still have no idea why these scammers make utter stupid statements of 'steam admin/moderator' when it doesnt even exist... Also, Valve employees will contact the consumer via email only.they will never contact on the steam platform itself. For the SCM,they will contact on the steam platform but you will get a notification on your account that shows 'new community message' or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steam administrators will never contact you through steam friends chat, and there is no such thing as item verification or checking if something is marketable etc. All item information you need can be viewed from your own inventory.
