    The impersonator's profile (Alias used by the impersonator in the past): http://i.imgur.com/XiGktGg.jpg

    Description:
    I just noticed I had several negative random rep in steamtrades and they were almost at the same time, from people I never traded with or even added to friend's list, so I assumed someone was impersonating me. Then I got a friend request and a guy talked to me thinking I was that guy, then I explained he wasn't me and we both checked he had a different profile, so the scammed guy removed his negative and put a notice to advice people.

    I don't have any evidence of the impersonator's activity, but I'll attach my conversation with the scammed guy and a screenshot of the changing nicks of impersonator.

    Please try to mark this guy as soon as possible, I'll try to explain this to the other victims so they can give more evidences.

    I am the person that Crothgar here is referring to as the person who added him on Steam. I can verify that the information given in this description is accurate and that this user is not a scammer. As someone who lost out on my giftable copies of Arma 3 alpha lite and Nuclear Dawn, I want to help to catch this person before he uses someone else's alias to hurt the reputation of others.

    Take in consideration that Roo2T is NOT the scammer's nick, but another impersonated trader. We both (the real Roo2T and me) have reported this in steamtrades forums.

    Cheers.

    Hi guys, as it was the first time I was reporting, I used another guy's thread to copy&paste and complete mine, and I think I messed it up with the screenshots. Pasting on top of other's links changes the visible link but when clicked you see the other guy's screens. So the correct ones are here:

    And it would be as follow:

    The impersonator's profile (Alias used by the impersonator in the past): http://i.imgur.com/XiGktGg.jpg

    Sorry about that, I hope this helps to make it more clear and mark this guy ASAP cause he's still scamming using different nicks.

    Cheers.
