    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198305151339

    Victim profile: 76561198138721787

    What happened? Description:
    This seems to be the same user as I reported last week and got banned by SR
    | steamname: alwayheadzz
    | steam3ID: [U:1:344732816]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:172366408
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198304998544
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/TUiTU
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198304998544

    He has now created a new scammer profile
    On his steam account he has an M4A1-S | Master Piece FN in his inventory and on his profile home page there is a trade offer link. This trade offer link directs you to a duplicate profile of his with an M4A1-S | Master Piece WW in the inventory.

    This is clear as day intent to scam imo, and trying to work around having a trade ban by SR.
    Not very cleverly done though :)

    The duplicate profile, which is already banned, with multiple alternate accounts:
    | steamname: alwayheadzz
    | steam3ID: [U:1:341975695]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:170987847
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198302241423
    | customURL:
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198302241423​

    Provide Evidence:
    76561198305151339 -Steam Community £ménHô†éP profile
    76561198305151339 -Steam Community __ £ménHô†éP __ Item Inventory
    76561198302241423 (duplicate) -Trade offer with £ménHô†éP
    76561198302241423 (duplicate) -Trade offer with £ménHô†éP with profile pop-up​

    I was checking up on his already banned profile http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198304998544 and duplicate profile to see if he is circumventing SR trade banned tag, and evidently he is. Using his new account with the same duplicate account as used last week. I had a suspicion he would since he used an already banned duplicate profile on the report I made last week. And by the looks of it, he is most likely going to continue this way unfortunately. This was purely proactive, no contact. I am trying to help the community be more scammer safe and make SR more effective. I have a background in internet investigation on an IP (intellectual property) level and find it thrilling to do this :) Last weeks report on this user https://forums.steamrep.com/posts/451188/

    And by circumventing the rules as is evident here, he is basically wasting your time and mine that was put in last week.

    They all "circumvent" the ban.. its always gonna happen. Valve won't stop letting people make accounts.
    But either way you need to have contact/context when reporting an account here...not just tracking users down and reporting an "Alt".
    I've linked the accounts but next time don't worry about accounts.... unless you come across the account and they attempt to scam you there is no sense in reporting it...they will make another, and another and another and another.
    Make sure you report them all to Valve - send in a ticket.. get them to fix the problem.
