Marked as a scammer
So today when i was on tf2 trying to trade and, one of my friends trades me and tells me that i am tagged as a scammer. From then on no one has even talked to me once they have joined one of my trades or traded me. I have no idea as to why i would be tagged in that category. I dont think i have ever scammed anyone. I really just want to have the tag removed so i can continue enjoying the game. Any help on where i should appeal the tag or why i was marked in the first place would be greatly appreciated.

ive never tried to scam anyone. what is even considered a scam?

If someone report you for being a scammer, Valve would then checked your history and stuff. If you got that tag that means you are qualified as being a scammer from the background check I presume.

Have you ever let anybody use your account?

no one else uses my account, but me. and the only type of trading i do is for weapons. i sell random weapons for 1 scrap each, and that is the extent of a normal day of trading for me.

yer, steam rep might says your fine but still mark you. just look for any posts about you in steam rep to see why there may be a mark

Simple:
Trader: Hey! wanna buy my Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Rocket Launcher which is glitched with expensive paint?
Poor person: no ty
Trader: OMG NOOB WHY ARE YOU PLAYING TF2 THEN? REPORTED SCAMMER!
Poor person: Huh?

Remember kids, always buy what people ask you too.:spycon:

You're not marked as one on Steamrep. I think your friend is full of ♥♥♥♥.
