    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198111552173

    Victim profile: 76561198202519627

    What happened? Description:
    I'm not entirely sure if the person that made off as if the accused is a storage account of his actually owns the account. The profiles of both the accused and the person trying to scam are almost identical. But what happened is that another account added me and tried to get me to trade with a middle man which has a negative stem rep and when I didn't go for that option he tried to get me to validate my items so he can check the sales history of my items which was strange because there isn't really anything I have to do to enable him to check that. So along with the accused I have reported the following account as well http://steamcommunity.com/id/BananaKnifeSkinsTrading8888888/ ( this was the account that he started messaging me on) and this is the account that he tried to use as a middleman http://steamcommunity.com/id/SteamBottigerAdministratorValve (which has a negative steam rep for impersonantion, due to him already having a negative steam rep I will most likely not be going through this whole process again to report him. If all the accounts involved in this could be reported on this one submission it would be greatly appreciated.​

    If you aren't sure then don't make the report - this account is one that is being impersonated.
    Do you understand that? @Marvin 3
    You've basically reported an innocent user.
    Reply ASAP!

    I understand what you are saying, the only reason I reported this user along with the rest is because I thought there was a way you could make people aware on SteamRep that the accused account( that was last active almost a year ago) is being used by scammers due to the large and expensive inventory. It's strange that scammers are using an inactive account with an inventory of almost $40k in items and the account only has two friends out of which one has been banned on SR and the other been inactive for 111 days. What it seemed like to me is an account that was setup to bait people into believing the whole scam,because it just doesn't make any sense that a person would leave an account with that amount of items just like that.
    I know I shouldn't have reported just on my own assumptions but I felt it was necessary for someone that knows more about these occurrences to know about this. You most definitely know a lot more about this than I do, so if you believe it's an innocent user then I would like to apologise to that person in this thread and I would like to retract my report I filed.

    I'm just tired of being invited by these people everyday and knowing that they succeed with other people.
    Thank you for your time.

    PS. Sorry Banana/Destend

    Some users use accounts that have been community banned or deleted but items still show up if you view inventory link.
    It wasn't necessary to report the wrong user - you would be rather upset if someone reported you under the same circumstances.
    Now you know what scammers do in these situations.
    Archiving report.
