What happened? Description:

Person contacted me to setup a trade for my unusual hat I was selling on tf2outpost. After having agreed upon a price for my hat, he tried to convince me that I had to trade the hat first to a friend of mine to check for some kind of bug. This was an attempt to scam me, by letting me get to believe that he is trustworthy.​

Hello, you reported me, the original account that is being impersonated by this person - http://steamrep.com/search?q=AntoSheeek who is already community banned. Please report him on steam. I'm reporting this report so it gets archived due to you reporting bad person (you clicked on the steamrep link he got on his profile, didn't you).

I saw you had this guy in your friendslist:
| steamname: Antosheek
| steam3ID: [U:1:200922128]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:0:100461064
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198161187856
| customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/AntoSheeek
| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198161187856

That one is impersonating this account:
| steamname: Antosheek
| steam3ID: [U:1:17944367]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:8972183
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197978210095
| customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/antosheek
| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197978210095

Notice the difference with 1 extra E on the impersonator (and capitalisation).

After the fake one, you also had the "real" one. Please comment on both.

After some research on my own and talking with Antosheek (steamid=76561197978210095) I have come to the conclusion that the scammer indeed was an impersonator with the following steamid=76561198161187856. This mistake was made because the impersonator has steamid links on his steam profile that directed me to the wrong person. The real person that tried to scam me is already community banned (http://steamrep.com/search?q=AntoSheeek), but apparently this is not holding him back to conitinue his activities, which are damaging the tf2 trading community. Therefore I urge that work is being made to have this person trade banned.

I've edited the subject to the ID of the impersonator. And added it to the offenses of that impersonator.
