    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198005755481

    Victim profile: 76561198056839438

    What happened? Description:
    Added me to politely ask if I would be willing to sell my rifle, to which I replied that I am not selling it. He proceeded to nudge me into selling it, but little did he know that I happen to know the real person he was trying to so obviously impersonate.​

    Provide Evidence:
    His profile matches the real persons with the exception of the details provided by the real one (items that need to be in his inventory to confirm its him)
    Worth noting: the inventory was private, despite the real person having a showcase of items that confirm it is him.

    The steam custome URL is the same, except on the impersonators account, he has removed the last letter of said URL, to make it look convincing.

    Links on his profile link to the real persons details, such as the trust site or backpack.

    No OBVIOUS scam attempt was made, due to the fact that I attempted to catch him redhanded without waiting for him to make a move, but the impersonation is undoubtful.​

    Pay close attention to the screenshot I'm adding...see how it shows the users URL at the bottom where the link goes? Also its FULL screen and shows a steam URL at the top.
    Very important things otherwise your report would be rejected for lack of evidence.
    I'll review this again shortly

    Thank you very much for this note, I shall bear that in mind if I make future reports. I do apologize for the inconvenience as I was not prompted with clear instructions on how to post screenshots correctly and I never report. Thanks again.
