Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198130936002 ()

Victim profile: 76561198059405044

What happened? Description:

I was asked to Middle Man for my friend (C0w) I was then invited to a group chat with the Accused's bot, who was impersonating C0w. It appears this user has done it before with this bot, as I could tell from previous names. The bot sent me a trade request and I put in the two unusuals that I was holding onto for C0w and closed the trade after I traded the items. I know that I'm mostly at fault for this, but I am really hoping that there will be a ban waiting for this user so that this won't happen again.​

Provide Evidence:

Hey there! My friend "Forte" just ran into this guy and had a good intuition about himslef to avoid blindly following this fishy person's demands. Here's a chat log between Forte (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198045467908/) and the Accused (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198130936002/).

The following conversation is the one I had with the Accused.

Code:

5:59 PM - ジブリール: Hello?
6:00 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: hey mate
5:59 PM - ジブリール: My friend told me you are wanting to buy his hat. Thing is, I noticed you don't even have tf2? I know its Free to Play, but you literally have no hours.
6:00 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: IM JUST BUYING AND SELLING ITEMS MATE
6:00 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: but im still buying the buds on market
6:00 PM - ジブリール: "on the market"
6:00 PM - ジブリール: Community Market?
6:01 PM - ジブリール: Could you explain the method you are gonna use to obtain the buds? I've got a lot of experience in trading and something just isn't adding up here.
6:02 PM - ジブリール: The idea that my buddy would need to pass his hat to someone else, while you purchase buds through means you have yet to disclose. Doesn't make sense to me. The only instance in which he would need to pass his hat to a reputable friend would be if someone was paying direct money through paypal or some other money transferring method.
6:06 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: can we wait to your friend ?
6:06 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: hes afk
6:06 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: hes eating rather
6:07 PM - ジブリール: Sure thing
6:07 PM - ジブリール: While we wait, do you mind explaining your method of acquring 3 buds out of nowhere?
6:19 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: mate?
6:19 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: you playing ?
6:20 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: mate?
6:21 PM - ジブリール: Im back
6:21 PM - ジブリール: sorry
6:21 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: are you playing?
6:22 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: can you close your game?
6:21 PM - ジブリール: Sure...?
6:22 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: YES?
6:22 PM - ジブリール: Okay then
6:25 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: ok
6:32 PM - ジブリール: Hey buddy, I'm here to expose your plan. Your
6:32 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: wait mate
6:32 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: i talk to your friend
6:32 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: i just invite you
//At this point I explained his rather obvious plan based on seeing messages from Forte's chat with the Accused, as well as seeing this steamrep report.
6:34 PM - ジブリール: Your plan involves having me take hold of his unusual, and then removing him so that when you make a group chat, your bot account: http://steamcommunity.com/id/asdfasdfasdf123sdg/ will be renamed to  ƒ my buddy's name. At which point you will threaten to report me if I don't simply trade this unusual back to him (your bot).
6:37 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: really?
6:36 PM - ジブリール: Yes
6:37 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: so your telling me that im a scammer?
6:38 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: ?
6:38 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: YES?
6:39 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: REALLY?
6:39 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3: WHATS WITH THAT ?
6:40 PM - PsycheEdroteLagapa<3 is now Offline.

When he went offline at 6:40 he removed both Forte and I from his friends list.

I provided a screenshot of the chat window open with the accused for a time and date of last message received.

I can second this, he just did the same thing to me. He added me and said to give my unusual to a friend then he'd buy buds to buy my unusual. Invited me to a group chat with him and his friend impersonating my friend and traded me. I invited my real friend to the chat and he left and removed us both. This is the profile he used, my friend is tbech. You can see his alias in there, and he copied my friend's picture.

Attempted same thing on me too easy i called him out on it

Same attempted scam on me.

STOP spamming this report and make your own! Unless you have vital information for this case then you need to make your own.

@Ranku I need a full screen picture of the impersonator with your friends name as one of his aliases. You cropped the picture.
I need a full screen picture of your trade history. Unedited.
I need the chat agreement between you and the impersonator.

There are multiple reports of this guy doing this. Just flag him. He Just tried it to a mate of mine and using my name.

That is not how it works. You provide me with the correct information or I archive this report.
