    If this is the case, then why are all the reports in your name? People can go to their trade history and click on the profile of the person they gave away their item too. How would they have found your profile instead of this impersonator?

    I also just looked at the nick history. In his recent alias history, not once did he call himself Carrnium. You on the other hand have the name of •Elextren• which was part of the name in this users scam: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198163771427-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.90753/
    you used Elextren multiple times in different variations.

    Your name was simply Carnium in this user's report: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198163771427-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.91395/ AND http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198163771427-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.91394/ AND http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198163771427-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.91394/
    Again that being in your current past alias list, but not the "impersonator's". In a few of these links there, he also supplies a link to your profile. It is indeed your profile, and he can access that profile simply by clicking on your name in the chat. He was indeed talking to you, and you were the person that was scamming him.

    Your name in this scam is the exact same name in the bottom of the list of your aliases http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198163771427-tf2-team-fortress-2-items.91077/
    Your name in this one was •Elextren• <S 80 Unusuals

    Here is a screenshot of yours, and your "impersonator's" aliases
    http://i.imgur.com/VNVMcgO.png SCREEN1.png
    http://i.imgur.com/zBVvGd7.png SCREEN2.png
    (I have uploaded the images in the off chance that you do not trust i.imgur links.
    I would also (if it is not too much trouble) like a screenshot of your entire trade history page, on the dates that these other reports in your name were posted.

    I got a post from someone saying that this scumbag is impersonating me and I spent like half the day reprting him and warning people.
    He simply copied my profile and added my REP+ threads.
    Basically ruining all my good reputation that was build over the years....

    Elvis has left the building aka our scammer has abandoned this alt and moved to new ones.
    I left him a message a few days ago on his profile, but it was deleted a few hours afterwards (see attached image)
