    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198334999853

    Victim profile: 76561198135281141

    What happened? Description:
    This person is the owner of several bot accounts and he has impersonated multiple people throughout his career of trying to scam people. He added me out of nowhere yesterday and He tried to ask me for my Unusual and told me to use OPSKINS to upload an item for trade and then attempted to set up a trade because he wanted to "verify" the item's origins and the "serial number of the object", which is complete crap. Then he proceeds to give me a Backpack.tf link to a person he tried to impersonate [https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198261771051] and tells me that he wants to trade. I have a snapshot of his actual inventory in my proofs also.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I am so sorry about the links to imgur, but I have attatched all involved files and additional proof attached with the report. I didn't see the warning on the bottom. Sorry about this.

    *If you are reading this, I would like to keep in touch with you guys at steamrep, for that, I have been spammed with impersonators recently, and this might help to ban all accounts

    OPSKINS proof and Scam attempt:

    [​IMG]
    in First image, he asked me for source implying item legitimacy
    in Last image, he said all items had a "serial number", which was a complete scam because somehow he wanted to see my item on OPSKINS, which was sketchy enough in itself

    note the subtle profile link differences and also the profile description, indicating the owner realised that he himself is being impersonated. Also, notice the inventory differences. If you check the link in my picture and the link in impersonation attempt is the same thing.​

    ok apparently you don't understand - we require ALL images hosted HERE to the report not 3rd party hosting sites like imgur either.
    We must retain the evidence so hosting here makes sure of that. You can upload 15 per reply.

    @ЩĄ | Horse yea crap time to spam, sorry folks.

    *IMAGES WERE NOT CROPPED, I USED WINDOW SNIPPING TOOL. I WOULD NOT GO OUT OF MY WAY TO PHOTOSHOP ALL THESE IMAGES JUST TO BAN AN IMPERSONATOR WITH NOTHING IN THEIR INVENTORY. MY PROOFS AND THEIR INVENTORY IS BELOW*



    Profile of Scammer/impersonator [proof26.png]


    Inventory of Impersonator, remember this as I will explain later on [proof25.png]

    ]Impersonated/actual owner's profile, notice the link differences and also the impersonators notice [proof21.png]


    The Impersonated/actual owner's backpack.if link. notice the link and the items that the impersonator/scammer did not have. [proof22.png]


    Impersonation attempt. Notice the link, as it is not the scammer's [proof20.png]


    This is original trade deal, my unusual is an unusual geisha boy with orbiting planets, the fact that he's trying to pay 20 keys is a complete scam. the medi gun isn't even priced and surely isn't worth even 1 key. [proof1.png]


    these 7 images show a dialogue in which he is asking me to "check authenticity" on OPSKINS because somehow all objects have a "serial number" [proof2-7.png]


    This is proof that there is no such thing as a "serial number" for OPSKINS, note the "Missing: Serial" [proof8.png]


    Now the scammer is trying to offer me money, which is complete scam [proof18.png]


    if you've read all this, thank you. Again, thanks, @ЩĄ | Horse for dealing with me and reading this I just have too many proofs to upload. Sorry about that mishaps, I just didnt want people getting scammed by this guy because he is pretty convincing.
