I got a VAC ban and don't know why.

[Nuts!]

Today I was going to play Team Fortress 2 with a friend of mine and I went into my backpack to find that all of my items were missing (these included a collectors equalizer and a few strange, vintage and genuine items, and, over all I probably spent about $50 in the market on my backpack.) My friend then sent me a trade request and I accepted it and It said that I was not allowed to trade Team Fortress 2 items. After that I closed out of TF2 and went to my profile and it said that I had 1 VAC ban on record and that it was 6 days ago - 6 days ago I Don't remember even USING my computer 6 days ago. I read the Steam-support page and that just pissed me off even more, I've heard of people who have gotten VAC bans for using RESKINS. Team Fortress 2 is one of my favorite games, and I don't even know WHY I was banned.

If you did hack or anything, dont deny it. It is hard to believe someone can get banned for reskins, because its not unbalancing the game. Its hard to get unbanned from VAC because the

If you used Steam Achievement Manager (SAM), then you did hack.

My account must have been hacked or something because I don't even see WHY people would hack in games, I would think it would take the fun out of them.
