    Description:
    Scammer added me pretending to be someone else. He sent me a fake link to the SOP rep thread of the person he was impersonating. The rep thread looked exactly like the real one and even had the comment I left few hours ago after trading with the real person. He took the hat and went offline.

    I have been noticing a very large increase in scammer reports of people using some fake web browser of the sort that is connected to the real 1, if you look in the link the impersonator sent you its spelled "soureop" instead of sourceop.

    Not sure how they do this but hopefully someone can come up with a block, sorry to hear about your lose and it pisses me off that he is going after people that I recently sold my items to.

    Hopefully this can be dealt with before anyone else gets effected by this guy

    Agree, quiet a few people impostor c313
    Im quiet surprised the person that bought the beams mining cap off the person pretending to be c313 didnt even bother doubling check if the hat was scammed or anything. he just bought it because it was a really good deal.

    Impostor selling the hat:
    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/5004185

    Person who bought it:
    http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/114053

    Like 3 buds for a beams mining cap is quiet cheap. Theres gotta be something sketchy about that. But i see he didnt even bothered.

    I am sorry to hear your lost.
    I hope the impostor will get marked.
