    What happened? Description:
    User (who is impersonating a well-known TF2 trader) attempted the item verification scam on me. The user added me on Steam and asked to trade for some of my items in exchange for two of their Unusuals (which, of course, were not theirs.) They linked me the backpack of the person who they were impersonating.​

    Hi @lukki81

    Can you take a screenshot of your Friend Activity in a web browser, where it says that you and the accused became friends? For this screenshot you need to hover your cursor over the accused's name so that it shows a URL in the bottom left.

    Thanks.

    Not sure how I would do this. They've blocked and removed me.

    Hi @lukki81

    To do this you go to your activity on the Steam home, which can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/lukki81/home and you'll need to scroll down to the date you became friends with the accused. If you can't find it, let me know.

    Hi @lukki81

    No problem, the screenshot itself is fine but is there anyway you can make it bigger so it's easier to read?

    Thanks for your report, in the future can you upload directly to the forums rather than through a third party site like imgur.

    I've passed the report on for an admin to review.

    @lukki81 From now on you must be the one submitting the evidence to the report by uploading it directly here - not hosting on imgur or any other 3rd party hosting site.
    Ninja did it for you this one time but thats your responsibility not ours.
