    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198126067141

    Victim profile: 76561197973448585

    What happened? Description:
    Yoshi added me in order to make a trade with his "main account". I've immediately seen that he was friend with an impersonated Big Bang Theory which meant he was propably attempting to scam me.

    So, as a lot of scammers, he wanted me to read his description, saying "We both undergo Item Verification by Steamworks Developer first just to have assurance if we are really trading safe items. [...]"

    I let you guess what he's gonna do after that... But just have a look at the screenshots​

    Provide Evidence:
    As you can see, in the scam_friend_2.png, he has the impersonator in his friendlist (historical data, because he deleted the impersonator after our conversation). Then he confirms that this friend will be the guy who's gonna verify the items.

    Then I understand there is a trap, and announce that the steamrep report is incoming.​

    There is a gap on the chat - I don't see where this big bang theory impersonator was mentioned?

    In the scam_attempt_2.png superyoshi confirms that he uses his Big Bang friend in order to do item verification for real money.
    Have you read superyoshi's information thread on his profile ?
    It says "We both undergo Item Verification by Steamworks Developer first just to have assurance if we are really trading safe items.". Guess what, his Big Bang theory friend is "playing" Steamworks developer on steam. That can't be a coincidence : fake game for fake trades. This is a scamming team... I can't add more clues but the I think that the screenshots say enough about the scamming trap. Yoshi always ant to verify item with "valve workers", and he confirmed me that his friend was totally legit. Why do you think he removed this guy from his friendlist just after our conversation ?

    I let you decide, but I think you should keep an eye on this yoshi ;)

    What was said does make the accused guilty however I can't do anything with the other user since it doesn't have his STEAM URL anywhere in the chat screens you've provided.
    Moving this to review for ONLY the accused.
    The Possible other user you've shown is already tagged/banned at this time.
