    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198103215364 (Kyle Ellison)

    Victim profile: 76561198023954623

    What happened? Description:
    I posted a trade for some items from the dota 2 weta collection. The user I selected had a lot of hours ingame and a lot of +reps so it seemed legit. He also had a verified paypal account. So I got a trusted middleman and it all looked good until Kyle tried to pull a bait and switch on me. He had a second account that he cloned from the middleman and tried to convince me to give him the items when I had already initiated the trade with the real synderen to prevent this very situation from happening. When I told him I caught him and that there was no deal, he blocked me and the middleman. Ironically I can prove this because he reminded me I should screencap the transaction just in case.​

    Provide Evidence:
    here's a video of what happened:

    Hi, can you take screenshots of the group chat and provide the ID blocks of the real MM and the fake MM.

    I don't have screenshots of that and I don't see why it's necessary since the whole thing is on the video I posted. I don't have the info on the fake profile, but it seemed like a very new account so I doubt that banning that one will have any impact. The main account where he had a huge +rep thread is the one that needs to be labeled as a scammer, because he has a lot of games, lots of +reps, and lots of hours played so it looks legit. The real MM is the well known synderen:
    | steamname: DC | @syndereNDota
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:2140864
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964547457
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197964547457
    Did I correctly label this as rep fraud? He basically tried to scam me for 1200 dollars and on top of that attempted to impersonate the designated MM. So maybe it's more than just rep fraud? I'm not sure, the mod probably knows where this fits best.

    We ask for screenshots because videos can get deleted etc. If you cant get screenshots could you take screenshots of the video (on high quality) that would show the chat that would be much appreciated. And for your question yes you put the correct type:).

    It's been almost a month since I reported this and still he has not been labeled as scammer. Why does this take so long, the proof is all there and multiple people have reported him.
