Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198174194305

Victim profile: 76561198124824268

What happened? Description:

There are atleast two people involved in this scam attempt. I was first messaged by this impersonators accomplice (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198296215327/) who said I was reported and needed to contact an admin in order for my account not to be banned. I got in contact with this fake admin through the accomplice's link which took me to a fake steam "Fraud Prevention" page (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=963218646#1846544). This page had a list of admins who were online and offline. I was told to contact the online admin who was listed as [RG] Syntax, I got in contact with this admin and strung him along, he ultimately wanted me to trade him my skins for 'verification' following my account being so called 'reported'. After getting him to tell me what he wanted me to do he launched a non steam game which was entitled "Banning STEAM ID *My steam ID*" in order to try and intimidate. Eventually after wasting enough of their scamming time I decided to call them out and afterwards I was instantly unfriended and/or blocked by both parties.​

In addition to this:
I have just become aware that the accomplice of this user (SKYRUS: https://steamrep.com/search?q=76561198296215327/) is already known for his fraudulent behaviour so I won't be making an additional report.
