Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

Accused profile: 76561197963617164

Victim profile: 76561198017597502

What happened? Description:

Was added by the scammer and noticed they were a high level, high effort impersonation account, noted by their fake ID customURL, art showcase imitating an expensive item showcase, and the links to 2 account he was impersonating as his "vault" http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971034957/inventory/ and "alt inventory" http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993880723/inventory/ . Added the user and played along. I was offered a lucrative trade of several items worth ~$900 for a much more expensive FN Dragon Lore. The user then suggested we should use a steamrep middleman.

He linked me 3 "middlemen" as seen in the chat log. 2 were real, but 1, http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198176916041 , was an imitation of an actual steamrep middleman http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197999300294 . At his request I added the imitation profile, which instantly accepted and agreed to middleman, and told me to invite the first scammer to a group chat. The middleman then told me to send my items to him so we could continue the trade, at which point I was unable to continue without losing my items.

Thanks.​
