    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: 76561198072570108

    What happened? Description:
    I was selling a Phosphorus Jumpers Jeepcap on tf2 outpost. He adds me and asks me how much I want for my unusual. I reply, he then asks me if I have a "trusted friend". I say I do, he then says he wants me to give the unusual to him for safekeeping while he collects the buds. He then asks me for the link, I link him my friends account;
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198064451745

    He then adds a fake account with the name "Oxbit." and the same profile picture as my friends into a multi-chat, and asks me to give the unusual to him. This is the fake account:
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198131196620

    In the "This user has also played as" you can see Oxbit. alongside many other account names with "." at the end.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Unfortunately I couldn't get a screenshot of the entire chat, or the multi-chat, but hopefully this screenshot and the accounts provided in the description are proof enough.

    Thanks for your report. There isn't a lot of evidence here, nothing I could really ask you to add, and it's hard to definitively prove how things would've played out if you followed through. However, this behavior is consistent with the "trusted friend" scam, for which the accused has multiple pending reports. Therefore, I'm marking this as ready for review, for another attempted middleman injection.
