    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198160022752

    Victim profile: 76561198072093263

    What happened? Description:
    I was going to trade for Mr.Omani’s haunted ghosts rather festive tree (The real trader). When I got a friend request from the scammer (a duplicate account, with legit looking profile). So I followed through with the stuff, made sure he was legit.. then I fell for a phishing site.. with bots that where actually named the same as marketplace.tf bots​

    Provide Evidence:
    I provided screenshots of the conversation, and the profile where he claimed someone else is a scammer with his name, when in fact he is the scammer. I also provided proof of my inventory with the fake bot I traded..​

    Unfortunately, SteamRep does not accept reports dealing with hijacking/phishing/hacking -Due to current Investigative Policy

    This includes anything to do with API key requests, wrong or misspelled URL's and sites requesting logins of any type in attempts to steal your credentials.
