Describe the incident that resulted in your ban
It was a usual spycrab wager. I do not remember the details because it was 3 years ago. But looking at the thread which describes my ban with the evidence says that I refused to pay a wager on 1 scrap.

https://forum.harpoongaming.com/threads/76561198319786948-gentleman-spy.39002/ - the ban thread.

Please provide any evidence or information you wish to provide
Back when I recieved the ban I did not know that I would get flagged as a scammer permanently. That said when I got flagged I was 15-16 and we all know 15 year olds. I understand what I did back then and I just recently came back to the game and I wish I could get my scammer flag/server ban appealed because Trading is a part of the game, you could say a huge part of the game. And looking at the details of the evidence in the log in the ban thread I refused to pay 1 scrap, if that is what is precisely said there that is.
If needed I am willing to pay the person I owe that 1 scrap.

If your appeal is granted, what steps would you take to prevent a similar incident in the future
Honestly I do not know how you can prevent scamming...
Make sure that the person has the item/currency they are declaring to wager I guess.
You could introduce a server admin to the deal as a third party to distribute the wager to the winning side as well. Or a trusted figure which you are certain that they won't scam when given the chance.

 

My account is f2p and I can't send friend invites, nor I can do trading because as I said I recently got back to steam and I had to recover this account by removing the authenticator. I can't post a comment on his steam profile either for some reason. I can't contact the person.
If you wish to test if I am lying or not here is my trade link:

I doubt that it will even show up properly.
A friend recently wanted to gift me a hat he does not need and as sort of a gift for me getting back into the game, but he can't give it to me because I can't trade.

TL;DR: I can't trade because I recently came back to steam and tf2 in general and I still can't contact the said person because my account is free to play and is therefore restricted from sending friend invites.

 

It was 3 years ago... and one scrap... srsly

 

so this is what happened

 

Dude I texted him on his wall. I told him about the scrap i owe him... he straight up told me to keep it what more proof do you want?

 

I literally don't know why this is necessary... I contacted the victim and they clearly do not want to get back the item I owe them. Can we please stop this bullshit and get rid of the scammer tag because I am already tired of this meaningless process.
