    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Misrepresenting virtual items
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198017635011

    Victim profile: 76561198201645150

    What happened? Description:
    He said he wanted to buy my items with pure keys, I knew from the start it was probably a scam because of the broken english. He took a screenshot of the 4 top items in my inventory, and asked to buy them for pure keys. Then changed his offer to an unusual which was from the real Gun's inventory. He then says he's not an impersonator when he literally has a completely private inventory, which most real people usually have their inventory's open for trading.​

    @cherry. You do realize this user has been banned/tagged here for over a year right?
    Why did you not check the user out prior to accepting friend request?
    Aside from that where is the scam here? I see no evidence of the user impersonation with intent to defraud.
    Nothing you provided proves that.
    What else do you have?

    He's been banned from backpack.tf, not steamrep.

    BP uses the SAME database as SR... its the same thing entirely.
    You need to check users out better before accepting friend request...if already tagged ANYWHERE just ignore/delete them.
    Now what about the evidence?

    It's literally in the screenshots. I linked the real Gun's profile, and I also said that he linked the real Gun's unusual. Is that enough to prove that he's literally showing me another persons items. TECHNICALLY, misrepresenting it because it's not even his backpack.

    What is in the screenshots? Pls point out the impersonation to defraud.
    I see IMAGES but I see no URL's...no links.
    Also your screenshots are too cropped... I need full screenshots per our guide.

    Ok I see don't see any links.. all I see are images so I don't see any impersonation with any intent to defraud.
    What else do you have?

    That does not prove any intent to defraud by the accused - I need to see it in the screenshots.
    What you provided does not have that.
    Is that the only screenshots you have?

    Yes, whatever. Just close the thread I'm tired of this anyway.

    Rejected for lack of evidence. Nothing provided suggests the user accused is guilty of any wrong doing.
    In the future - check users out before you accept friend request - if already tagged/banned its best to just delete/ignore them and move on.
    Our tags serve as a warning - a warning that should not be ignored.
    Please take that advice... this should help you avoid running into users you do not trust in the future and avoid having to submit another report here against someone already tagged.
    Once tagged there is nothing more we can do to them.
    Feel free to report the user to valve instead.
    Thanks!
