    (Sorry I don't have any evidence of our chat history because I have never added the impersonator nor did he added me but I think his profile have enough evidence to prove him as an impersonator.)

    Description:
    Well I met the impersonator when I typed "Notch" in the "SearchFriend" option and I luckily found an impersonator attempting to deceive people into giving him free games. (TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCREENSHOTS AND READ THE COMMENT SECTION THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE AND THE REAL NOTCH WOULD NEVER ASK FOR GAMES) Well if people are wondering "How do you know if this guy is an impersonator?" then here are your answers:

    1. One of the biggest giveaway is.. that the impersonator is VAC BANNED. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about then take a look at Notch's live streaming videos on twitch TV http://www.twitch.tv/notch/b/322338785 (This is the real notch listen to his voice) As you can see he is playing TF2 on an online server. (There are rarely any NON-VAC SECURED servers on TF2.)
    2. The real Notch will always have a hat called "Top Notch (GENUINE QUALITY)" http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Top_Notch The impersonator had a flare gun in his BP only, sorry I don't have any screenshot of that because he made his inventory private a long time ago. (THE REAL NOTCH WOULD ALWAYS MAKE HIS INVENTORY PUBLIC TO SHOW PROOF THAT HE IS THE REAL ONE.)

    Hope that explains things clearly!

    Thank you for the info. It is clear his intentions and this should be settled quickly. Might I also recommend reporting his profile to valve.

    I already reported his profile to valve 2 weeks ago. However, it looks like Valve has done nothing to stop this guy!
    Thanks for the reply!
