    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198071811600

    Victim profile: 76561198065010028

    What happened? Description:
    NOTICE: NONE OF MY ITEMS WERE LOST IN THIS FAILED SCAM ATTEMPT.

    Sorry if I've done something wrong, this is the first time I've reported a scam attempt on SteamRep. He added me at 5:40 PM PST on November 22, 2014. The first thing I had noticed is that his backpack was empty, making me immediately suspicious. After asking about his empty supply, he responded and said that he could buy the keys off of the market. After asking if he could see my item history, (which I provided) he asked if I had a friend online who could hold onto my hat for proof that it won't change after the trade. Having enough of this, I confronted him describing how this is all seeming like the "friend scam" where he gets a similar account to take my hat from my friend, and he went dead silent.

    The item he was trying to scam: http://backpack.tf/item/298906017

    The text below is legitimate, and I played along with him until I got evidence of a scam. (Forgive the vulgarity, I was a little bit angry.)

    Image one is of the chat, and the last two are of his profile. The upper profile picture shows his previous names, which can be seen in previous scam reports. All of the images were taken with Jing, and every one was taken in the largest size possible. I took a lot of time making this report, so please correct me if I've done something wrong! I'll do my best to help get this scammer banned.​

    Just realized that I accidentally added the same picture twice to the report! There should only be a single "scammerproof1.png" image. Sorry!
