I HIGHLY doubt that this is possible. Almost every plugin I have ever written gets basic info like player locations. Either this is just another excuse to try and get unbanned, or you have found a hash collision (maybe they use MD5. But still VERY unlikely). Either way, there is no use posting here, no-one can do anything about it. Open a steam support ticket like every other person that gets banned.
