    Hello @Spork36, In order to process your report, we need all evidence uploaded directly to the forums. We can't have any of the evidence hosted on a 3rd-party site such as imageshack or imgur. Please provide the original, uncropped screenshots of your conversation with the accused.

    We also need uncropped, unedited screenshots of your inventory history, taken from within the Steam client with the URL bar visible. If you don't have the URL bar visible within Steam, please enable it. To enable the URL bar, go to View -> Settings -> Interface. Check the box next to Display Steam URL address bar when available. To access your inventory history, hover over your name in the Steam window, and click Inventory. Click More -> View Inventory History. I need the full inventory history from the date before the transaction in question until the day after.

    I can't tell from your evidence if the accused is impersonating an existing admin, or if they're just claiming to be one. If they are impersonating someone, please provide a link to the real admin's/trader's profile. When taking screenshots of an impersonation attempt from the scammer's profile, it's also important that the URL bar is visible, for comparison.

    So this scammer was impersonating a TF2OP admin. Now im not certain if that is a name of an admin on TF2OP. But I am certain thats what he claimed to be.
    And finally here is a picture of the items in my inventory and then in his http://backpack.tf/item/446290196. There are the pictures updated and everything.
    That should be everything.

    He's obviously just been at it again, just checked his profile, he's changed it back to normal but forgot to change his tagline from: "Admin and middleman for TF2OP and Trade.tf"

    I'm the owner of trade.tf, there's only one admin, it's me. So anybody pretending to be an admin or a middleman (there's no such service on trade.tf anyway) is obviously a scammer.

    If you are not involved with this specific transaction, please don't post in this report. Fill out your own report. http://forums.steamrep.com/forms/scam-report.2/respond

    @LittleVictory @cklegacy18 @one_ Please fill out your own report. We need a separate report for each offense, and "he scammed me too" comments are not taken into account when applying a tag. They don't speed up the process either, if anything they slow it down because admins have to filter through them. If you have evidence, it belongs in your own report. Your comments have been deleted.

    @Spork36 The evidence provided here is not enough for us to process this report because it is cropped. Having "TF2OP" in one's name is not sufficient proof of impersonation either. Having said that, the current (now documented) profile claiming to be a middleman for TF2OP and Trade.tf, which is clearly wrong, may indicate intent to scam as a fake middleman so I am marking this report for an admin to review. If you have further evidence, including uncropped screenshots of your conversation with the accused, please provide those as it will affect the chances for the accused to get tagged.
