    You need the profile of "my friend"? Or the real profile?

    Please provide a full screen shot of that trade offer- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload.

    I did not have time to screenshot the trade window because the person declined it. And what do you mean with "move your mouse over the users name in question..."?

    So did you get a trade or a trade offer? Is the trade offer still showing in your history?

    I do have his profile URL, and it was a trade, not a trade offer.

    The TmarTn one said that my friend is online via the steam chat and the steam chat calling option. Then that guy I just linked changed his image and name matching my friend's information so that they could do the "trusted middleman" scam.

    Ok I'm going to just tag the main user your accusing here since I can't match up evidence with the other user.
    You can report also to Valve on either.
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.
