Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198136494871 (duckhunter)

Victim profile: 76561198024694313

What happened? Description:

User added me and was interested in buying my Unusuals, knew he was planning on doing the friend impersonation scam to try to trick me into thinking I was handing my Unusuals over to a trusted friend.
Decided to mess around with him and drag it out to see what would happen. He eventually invited along his accomplice who was impersonating another user.​

Provide Evidence:

This is the profile that he linked me to which was a random user not involved in the scam that the accomplice was impersonating, the scammer's reasoning of why I should trust him is because he had lots of rep on his steam profile.
(He is not an official middleman of any sort)
