    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198359347319

    Victim profile: 76561198184125703

    What happened? Description:
    I had this dude message me who I apparently had on my friends list from Rocket League trading probably more than a year ago. He sent me a screenshot saying that I he was trying to "help" me and let me know that I had been marked as a "scammer/fraudulent item holder" and sent me some fake screenshot that looked like Steamrep. I pulled up the SteamRep website and low and behold I am just fine on SteamRep. He then says that I need to add someone from Steam to help me revert the "scammer" name tag. I ended the conversation there because I knew where it was going and honestly I just don't have the time to mess around with scammers.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I linked all my screenshots and the chat log in text form below, this should hopefully be all the is required to prove the this was in fact a scam attempt and this user is in the wrong.​

    hi,i dont wanna sound rude but i was just randomly checking my friends list, i saw your name marked as scammer/fraudulent item holder
    dont get this wrong, im just letting you know so you'll be aware

    have you ever made a transaction with a scammer before? or atleast traded with one accidentally?

    Rock:

    eRG airborne:

    i remember my friend who once was a victim of the same thing. his account got banned just because of that false accusation. He doesn't have an idea he traded with a scammed item. Steam is really dreadful sometimes
    steam must do something about this and stop banning innocent players

    Rock:
    ya Steam is really weird sometimes

    [10:24 AM]
    eRG airborne:
    im just concern about this kind of situation because if you let this pass now, you can have penalties. and I know you've invested much of your time, effort and money in your account,that's why I sent an appeal for your account when you were offline so you can get rid of the mark and you wont get penalties
    I can send what steam replied

    [10:25 AM]
    Rock:
    alright

    [10:26 AM]
    eRG airborne:
    here's what steam replied
    https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....580/E46EFAF579DF8E388D5148177FFE9E05FB33632F/

    can you read that clearly?
    in order for you to process in removing the mark, steam responded and told me that you should add the authorized steam personnel

    bro I wasn't born yesterday, low key you had me a little scared for a second about my steamrep, but obviously its just a bad photoshop. I know you wouldn't try to "help" me if I didn't have almost $300 in csgo skins and I keep buying more because I have a problem lol but Ima just take screenshots of the chat and send them to the ACTUAL SteamRep goodbye man
