    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198191232206

    Victim profile: 76561198043905911

    What happened? Description:
    Put a trade on csgolounge for my shadow daggers safari mesh, and this guy added me. Accepted his add, and he started asking my what i would like for the knife and told me to go through a middleman as he wanted to use cash. So, after a load of slow responses and bad grammar, he told me to join a group chat with a middleman he suggested. i was out then and told him to get his middleman to add me as i wanted to verify the middleman. He took sometime to send the add, and when i checked the middleman's profile, most of the rep comments on his profile were low steam levels/ banned or nothing in their inventory. This made me suspicious and i googled the middle man, to find that it was an impersonation of ☆Penguin The Fluffy , a middleman recognized here on steamrep. He had different steam levels
    and different profiles as the real one, but still said that he was an official middleman, supported by the screenshots. I then questioned the scammer and exposed him, with him saying sorry and about how he learnt to scam on youtube. He then challenged me to report him, saying it would take 3 years before he got banned.

    middleman profile:
    | steamname: ☆Penguin The Fluffy
    | steam3ID: [U:1:251068652]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:125534326
