    Accused profile: 76561198138496112

    Victim profile: 76561198085389757

    What happened? Description:
    User added me Saying they would like to buy my unusual asked for me to trade it to a trusted friend so they could verify if it was clean, impersonator added me at which point i realised it was an attempt to scam.​

    Provide Evidence:
    So basically the user added me (They most likely saw my trade on outpost) and asked if I was selling my unusual. I told them I was. when I went to view their inventory they did not have a single item let alone a key. View attachment 277822 After a while he asked if my unusual was clean, to which I responded that it more than likely was, I even told him that he could check for himself using tf2 items. View attachment 277824 He then made our chat a group chat between us and and another user impersonating someone on my friends list View attachment 277823 The impersonator contacted me using y friends name and profile picture(Notice that the jeff in the chat has a period at the end while the jeff in my friends list has no period.)After I called them out, the impersonator changed their name. View attachment 277829 Above is a screenshot of the profile of the impersonator, For comparison, below is a picture of what my friend's (who was being impersonated) profile looks like. View attachment 277826 I will also file a report for the accomplice/impersonator profile.​

    Hello @Greenflare, do you have the Steam ID Block of the impersonator? Also, was there any further interaction with the person you are reporting or was what you gave the extent of where it all went?

    What I have posted here is all the screenshots I had managed to get, There was no further interaction with them and the screenshot of the chat was taken just after our communication ceased. I have already made a separate report for the impersonator, but here is the impersonators current info.

    Hello @Greenflare, 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.
