    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198118503863

    Victim profile: 76561198001162965

    What happened? Description:
    This person tried to impersonate my friend Xtatic so I could give him the knife but I already knew this type of scam and I tried to get as much info as possible to SteamRep could take the measures to mark this users.

    This user (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198143151565) added me and said that he wanted to buy my knife via Paypal and said that we had to do the trade with a middleman that I could trust. I had chosen Xtatic, a friend of mine and we both already knew this type of scam so we played along to make this report. After some talk he invited me to a group chat were he was along with the impersonator of my friend, the user who I am reporting now.

    I will make another report for the user who tried to scam me aswell, but I wanted to mark both of the users.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I have attached the chat agreement between me and this user (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198143151565) and the group chat where the user who I am reporting in here impersonated my friend. I also attached the trade window and his profile.​

    He also added me to buy my knife but did not proceed very far. I did get an IP address (via voicechat) from 76561198143151565: 49.151.31.192
    Hostname: dsl.49.151.31.192.pldt.net
    A Filipino IP address.

    He did not impersonate anyone and stopped talking to me, so I'll just attach this to an existing report, hope that's okay.
