Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198084982689

Victim profile: 76561198068069453

What happened? Description:

Basically, the same thing happened as what the other guys had experienced

"So this guy added me. His name was "Why you gotta be so rude". What started my suspicions was how his whole profile was advertising how he does "trusted" paypal trades and also making himself look like one of those nice people that say "Watch out for impersonators". When I greeted him and asked him what he wanted he replied saying that he wanted to buy my unusual in tf2. Why would he want to buy my unusual even though he didn't have any hours in tf2 and his profile was private? This hinted at it a little more. When we settled on a price he then said that he needed to check if my hat was duped, and when I said check backpack.tf he said something like wanted to be really careful and backpack.tf doesn't work all of the time. Okay I said, as long as I don't need to trade the hat to you, then I'm alright and you can do whatever you want. He then stated that I needed to trade the item to my friend so he could "check" his backpack and make sure it wasn't duped. He told me to link to his profile so he could chat with them."

I attached screenshots of the mentioned chatlog below.​

He tried to impersonate me to fool my friend too.

As he was trying to change his account back to impersonate my friend, i got this screenshot.

here is a screenshot of the account that he used to impersonate alongside with my friend's account.

Here's the final 2 screenshots that might hopefully be able to help.
