    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198130594299

    Victim profile: 76561198078569040

    What happened? Description:
    Shadow (76561198123668738) friended me with the intent to trade. I noticed that his inventory was private, and the link on his page went to a different person's inventory, the real Shadow (76561198005574075) who had no part in this. The fake Shadow wanted to buy both of my unusuals, and said he wanted them checked by a "official steam admin." I played along, and eventually he invited Alias (76561198130594299) to the chat. Alias said that we were to send him a trade offer with the unusuals so he could check if they were "bugged or hacked." At that point, I called them on their shadiness and they left. It turns out Alias was attempting to impersonate a real middleman, (76561197982522773). They both were impersonating real people to try and steal my items.​

    @Camxcamx5000 If shadow was who you talked to first - then shadow was who you should be reporting. Then reference the other.
    Reference:
    | steamname: Shadow
    | steam3ID: [U:1:163403010]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:81701505
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198123668738
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198123668738

    The accused info is all messed up - I can't tell who you should be reporting.
    What is the SR profile block of the fake Alias user again cause what you gave me is not right nor if I click on it does it give me one with a custom URL.

    Sorry about that. I am not sure how to report them both at the same time for being in the same incident, but since the fake Alias has not been reported yet or has any kind of special status, then I figured that I should report him. Also, I accidentally messed up the fake Alias SR profile block, as he does not have a custom url.
    Here is fake Alias's profile block:
    | steamname: Alias
    | steam3ID: [U:1:170328571]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:85164285
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198130594299
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198130594299

    The person that he invited was different than the person that he told me to add. I could tell that because the custom url one wasn't in game or on his phone, but the other was. Unfortunately, I could not get screenshots of this, because the fake Alias left the chat. But I do know that the fake Alias was playing the non steam game "Verification: ON"

    If I send you a video of me clicking on the Alias that joined the chat, would the proof be sufficient?

    That's fine and all but you didn't clear up what I asked. Your own screenshot shows a completely different user - therefore I'm curious as to where you got the users info you are accusing here. Did you just do a simple name search or what? Because I'm kinda convinced you are accusing the wrong user.

    The user was invited to the chat by Shadow. This Alias wanted me to send him a trade offer with my items for nothing else so that he could scan them. I got to the private profile by clicking on Alias's name in the chat. If you want, I could try to make a video to prove it.

    No I don't need a video. See this link
    https://forums.steamrep.com/attachments/failedscam2-png.524663/
    At the bottom of the screenshot he gives you the link to the Alias he refers to - This user is on a CUSTOM URL. The user your accusing does NOT have a custom URL.
    I need to have the SR profile block from that user being suggested there in that screenshot posted here.

    Ok so I'm archiving report since there is not enough evidence to link what you have here to the accused - the accused is however being tagged for impersonation so don't worry about it at this point. The other user is already tagged.
    Thanks
