    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198163335184

    Victim profile: 76561198035737629

    What happened? Description:
    His reputation thread on his description:
    http://tf2reputation.elementfx.com/repthreads/triggerhappyrepthread.html
    (I haven't been into trading before and I'm not sure whether or not that is a legit site, but I very much doubt it).
    I checked his steam profile before accepting his invite: he has 0 items in his inventory; has only bought 1 game (CSGO); and only has 45 hours total play time (25 of which were in the past 2 weeks). So the idea of him having 26 pages of reputation seems preposterous.

    After accepting his invite we had a brief conversation. He asked me if I was taking offers on my hat, I said yes and he offered $60 through paypal. Telling me has has 26 pages of rep through the link on his description. When I told him I wouldn't be willing to do money with him due to the state of his profile he immediately removed and blocked me (which I found suspicious). So I mean I may be completely wrong about this, and I wouldn't have done a report usually over this if it was with someone who was already marked- as there isn't really much evidence supporting it; it's all hypotheticals. But as he isn't marked yet and his behaviour was suspicious I thought I'd better incase he was intending to scam- as this could prevent him from doing so in the future.

    Also I put this in other as I wasn't quite sure, I believe it was an attempted paypal scam; also due to how new his account was possibly an alt of an already marked scammer; and I also suspect that the reputation he supplied was fake. (3 of the possible reasons to report). Anyway sorry if this was just me being stupid but better safe than sorry I guess :) .​

    Oh alright! :) glad I wasn't just being overly cautious then. Interestingly enough as he's impersonating you right now he has one banned friend who was banned for impersonation. Perhaps he is an alt of it? o:

    This user has also scammed me out of $100 dollars... I was getting my unusual hat signed by stabby stabby, but the person that i thought was stabby was not actually him... So he impersonated stabby and pretended like he was signing my hat...

    Oh crap! God that's awful. Is there any way you can get your money back if you contact steam and paypal?
    Also I don't use this much so I could be wrong but I think they'd need the screenshots!
    Sorry to hear about what happened to you though honestly these scammers are such twat faces.
    Wish you well - Dan :)

    Sandalf, I suggest making your own report against him. He's going to get marked either way but having another separate report is better as the reports will be dealt with faster.

    @GLaMONSTER Thanks for your report, this should be ready for an admin to review. That is a verbatim copy of Tony's reputation thread, with links changed to point to his own profile. Any doubts can be laid to rest in that it's an exact copy of our partner community, Mann Co Trading's website, and that the links to the other 25 pages of this "thread" point back to Tony's original rep thread.

    @Sandalf Please fill out your own report. Don't post in other people's reports. We won't look at it unless your evidence is in its own report. http://forums.steamrep.com/forms/scam-report.2/respond

    Thank goodness for the person posting this report, or I may have lost 2.7k dollars of unusuals.
