Fake Accusations?
My account has apparently been reported for fraud attempt/stolen items. But I don't recall stealing from anyone, and I don't know what unsafe items are. I also don't know how I've attempted fraud before. If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated.

There is no such thing as unsafe items and neither is there such a thing as 'pending ban reports'.

Who said that to you?

wether items are stolen or not doesnt matter for steam or anyone, its not possible to break into someones steam account and steal their items it has to be done through trades and theres enough safety measures to not get scammed

just ignore it

a little more information would be helpful.
who is telling you that you have been reported?
how did they tell you this (chat, comment on profile, comment on screenshot/artwork, etc)?
are they telling you to move/trade any of your inventory?
are they asking you for any information (passwords, login, etc)?

i just checked , no comments on any screenshots or the profile so i asume it was either on a server or through a message

Ryuko Matoi is right, it's through a message

1) Unfriend the user.

2) Block the user.

3) Report the user - Do NOT forget to do this.

4) Move on.

just as a safety precaution.

Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
Change passwords from a clean computer
Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App

they keep finding new tactics for the APIkey scam, so better safe then sorry.
