    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198161961026

    Victim profile: 76561198073135175

    What happened? Description:
    I was added by an account with the username "LOL" and had a private backpack
    he then went on to say hello, ask if i still had my unusual hat, and then when i said i had sold it but i still had some, he then asked how much.
    at this point, he does not even know what ones i have, so its obvious he just added me and was asking what i had
    after saying what hats i had, he then went and flat said " i can do 5 buds for both" which he does not have (his inventory is private and i didn't think to take a screenshot)
    he then went to ask if i had a trusted friend online, add them, and then i noticed he copied my account on a bot (which had posted a +rep in his comments) and he intended to add my friend with that account and from then on i dont know.

    this may or may not be in the right category, but he was attempting to impersonate me in order to gain my items so it kind of fits

    I was kinda lazy to report something so I decided to just put it here for extra evidence

    Did the same thing to me, checked steamrep and saw he/she had a report. Funny thing is that he/she says the same exact stuff to everyone, lets get him/her banned please : )

    Also seems like he copied his profile info from someone else.
