  1. Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561197994917687

    Victim profile: 76561198191864918

    What happened? Description:
    Obvious trusted friend scammer. Added me and stated that he wanted to buy my unusual hat and wanted to know if I had a trusted friend online. I started messing around with him and he removed me after about 2 minutes of talking with me because he knew that he wasn't going to be able to scam me.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The attached file is the screenshot of the chat; although it is rather short, he clearly states the signature line of a trusted friend scammer. In retrospect I should have played along and gotten the alt account as well but this will suffice.​

    He is talking about this impersonator who is already banned everywhere: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198165914973/
    Yet op is blindly making a false accusation without even checking. THIS should be reportable.

  5. So I checked the profiles again and apparently I may have messed up. Although the custom url points to the scammer, the rest of the information leads to the account of the guy he was impersonating.
  6. I would like to either close this report or change it to the following information. Personally I'm fine with this report just being closed as the scammer is already banned on steamrep so this would just be redundant.

    This is the information for the guy that tried to scam me:
    | steamname: Mistail
    | steam3ID: [U:1:205649245]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:102824622
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198165914973
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Mistail
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198165914973


    The user with the information below was impersonated and not the perpetrator.
    | steamname: Mistail
    | steam3ID: [U:1:34651959]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:17325979
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994917687
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197994917687
  7. HI, this guy try to scam me

    Nice "proof" you got there, now check steamrep history of this (76561198165914973) account and find yourself (76561198262713274) at the bottom: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198165914973?t=1465810615. It was the same day you took your screenshot.
    Does this account looks like mine (76561197994917687) to you?
    And if you still don't get it, I never had you in my friends list.

    - Adjusted ID64 in title to 76561198165914973
    - Accepting report... the impersonating offender has a LONG list of offenses.
