Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198138496112

Victim profile: 76561198075543858

What happened? Description:

This user added me and asked to trade items. He asked me the price of my unusuals and said he'd pay the whole 70 keys for all of them. He then created an alt account of one of my friends to try and scam the unusuals from me. Overal, the trade would have been worth almost £150.

Below I have attached the copy of our chat, and a screenshot of the alt profile this user used to try and scam me. He changed his profile to look just like the one of my friend's, however my friend is on my friends list, has an open profile and has not changed his name to any of those provided.​

Hello @.woW, do you happen to have this chat as a screenshot? If so please upload it via the UPLOAD A FILE button to the lower right of this chat box please. Also, was there any more interaction, or trading done involving this person or your unusuals?

I did not interact further with this trader or his alt account, and sadly I do not have access to the chat any more as I believe he blocked me after I told him I had spoken to the real user he was imitating (my real life friend), he blocked me. This was the end of the communication I had with him.

Hello @.woW, unfortunately, while your proof was not sufficient enough to be acted upon by itself, the other reports against this user were enough for him to be marked. Thank you for this report all the same.
