    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198118757588 (ILL OFFER GOLD)

    Victim profile: 76561198059230343

    What happened? Description:
    Added by a steam user (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198118757588/), to trade for my phosphorus Fed Fighting Fedora + 1 bud for TF2 keys. This steam user told me he had $450 and would go to the steam market to buy 120 keys to trade me for the bud + Fed Fighting Fedora. He told me to get my most trusted friend to act as a middle man for this event (I felt that was extremely odd). He asked for my friends steam url, which I gave (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Vui123/). He then used this URL, made a alt account with the same name and picture as my friend and asked me to trade with it (URL: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198128787365/). I traded the bud and unusual, and then noticed that my friend did not receive anything, and that it is all lost in the scammer's alt account.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Initial trade: Adds me and asks for my unusual and a bud. Says he has $450 and says he will give me 110 keys for everything. He makes me wait while he "goes to the steam market" and buys keys

    After this he asks for my trusted friends steam URL and verifies
    with me that he is safe.

    He goes and creates an alt account with the EXACT same picture and a name very close to my friend, "Vui". This imposter Vui enters the chat, and the scammer asks me to trade this imposter. I traded and finished quickly with the imposter. Soon after they both leave.
