If you didn't scam anything, send in a ticket asking them to detail which items you scammed. They can't take anything you didn't scam.

I think you need to push them. I can't see any more options.

Well now that's very wierd o_O OK so what you can do is make a new ticket and ask why were you banned and what items were traded. Maybe the other support guy will tell you(yes, it depends on the support guy). After the date they said you will be able to trade items again, however it will be forever noted on your account that you were banned before. If that doesn't work out well....you can always send Gabe a message and maybe he'll take better action ;)
Good luck with the case! :)

I do not want to make any biased assumptions, but do you think that perhaps you did something wrong under some other account and thus both of your accounts were suspended for that reason? I am no expert at Steam Support, but I am quite sure they should at least explain you what and who you scammed in this case. May be you could ask them to check whether someone have hacked or in any other form impersonated your account and scammed people.

Well yes, you could, especially after the ban is over. But you also can try to formulate your question differently. Like I said, for instance, you can ask them to check whether there was any recent login attempts/suspicious activity on your account from non-usual IP-addresses or something like that. May be than they would at least do something. Good luck with it.

That will not unban you or anything like that. Per SSA, you are responsibile for the security of your account and all activity that happens on it. If you got hacked then you will have to face it that you didn't secure your account good enough. Do you have Steam guard on? If so then you should get an email if you were hacked.

Then you weren't hacked. Maybe you did a trade but the gift was revoked from the users account?

rather, did you lose any game that was already in your library?

Hmm... Well, do you think there is anyway that you can give them some sort of proof that you didn't do anything wrong or something like that? Check your trade history, take a picture of it, send it to them.

This might have something to do with it.

Great thread. Here's one that scammed me over the holidays. I reported him to STEAM but this looks like a good place too.
Steam Name: Brechozord
Steam URL: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198006283976
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:23009124
SteamID64: 76561198006283976
He traded me a guest pass of Killing Floor rather than the full game for Nuclear Dawn.
It seems he has been trying to scam people will Guest Passes before. Once someone calls him out for it he just starts a new thread so no one is aware of it.
Here's a link to some screenshots:

I forgot to add that according to SteamRep he changed his nickname about three hours ago. Just before he opened this thread, probably.

I'm not shocked at all. I knew steam wouldn't arbitrarily trade ban someone if it wasn't for an obvious reason.

You know the saddest thing?

I've been in threads where, after 3+ pages of every post calling the guy a scammer, you still get people trying to trade with them - IN THE SAME THREAD, and then saying "I didn't know!"

There's a reason I stay away from the Steam Trading forums - I'd rather give my spare away for free than go through all the crap of those forums...

if these people still keep trading with him, I'd say they deserve it for not paying attention at all. but that's not an excuse for him, he should have his balls smacked with a banhammer at least once a day...

How dare Valve ban someone for scamming if all they did was scam other people. I mean it's so illogical!

Contact support again.

Why he posted this here I'll never know, but I too enjoyed it thoroughly.

I was laughing, until I saw the guy had entered 375 giveaways, and will most likely continue, unless banned, then use the inevitably won games to scam people :/
