    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198141080107

    Victim profile: 76561198042579006

    What happened? Description:
    I was Trying to sell my unusual Terror-Watt Desert Marauder when i get a message from this guy. He adds me saying hes going to grab the buds/keys to buy it but he asks me to get a Friend i trust to hold the items till he gets the buds. I message my friend think at first this is a scam and then i go check his steam rep and what do you know he has 5 other reports against him. So i tell my friend to hang tight and then i get a msg from a fake profile of my friend I then give him a half-zaotchi as a troll trade, say that the scam is up, and block him. i tell my friend thank you and im here now tell you awesome non-scammers about it so this guy can hopefully get banned by the community. Thanks,​

    Yeah mate, he did the same with me, he now has 5 reports, he did it to me today at 12:14am, i reported but it will take a few months to be processed. Last time i reported someone it took 8 months to be processed and me constantly bumping the reports so i doubt this will be seen. We will just wait till someone falls for it and looses hundreds of dollars :)

    Do you have any screenshots of the impersonator's profile, with the profile URL visible and the same name/avatar as your friend?

    Same guy tried to scam me yesterday. Reported him on steam and SteamRep, checked his profile today and it seems he has been trade banned. :)
