When the attempt failed, they renamed their account as "V.alve Service", and made a second attempt. This attempt is far more offensive, as the chat shows. The player impersonated a valve employee. This is a copy of the discussion between the victim and the scammer: @ MetalSlug @: hello? @ MetalSlug @: who are yuo? @ MetalSlug @: you? V.alve Service: Excuse me sir V.alve Service: Did you see a scammer by the name of Flames? @ MetalSlug @: yea V.alve Service: He is scamming @ MetalSlug @: yea @ MetalSlug @: yea @ MetalSlug @: How did you know? V.alve Service: Tracking his ip adress V.alve Service: Sir, He planted a tracker on your items @ MetalSlug @: Really? V.alve Service: Yes V.alve Service: I need you to trade me items 445, 444, and 446 V.alve Service: These items will be returned to you immediatly after we inspect the virus V.alve Service: Your account is at risk @ MetalSlug @: wait @ MetalSlug @: ur name is flame @ MetalSlug @: you change it V.alve Service: I pose as the scammer V.alve Service: DO NOT tell this to your friends V.alve Service: This is very secretive @ MetalSlug @: I look at your names @ MetalSlug @: and i saw flames V.alve Service: Yes I pose as the scammer myself V.alve Service: to warm victoms such as you V.alve Service: He is a Korean scammer V.alve Service: Watch out for names such as Flames, Doc, or Fire V.alve Service: Those are his names V.alve Service: I need you to give me item 445 for inspecting @ MetalSlug @: YOUR THAT SCAMER @ MetalSlug @: HUH V.alve Service: Item 445 is "Black Box" V.alve Service: I will give it back as SOON as that inspection is complete V.alve Service: Black Box is inexpensive @ MetalSlug @: No its not V.alve Service: Than give me 1 weapon V.alve Service: For examination V.alve Service: You will get it back V.alve Service: Very soon V.alve Service had asked to trade with you, but you did not respond in time. V.alve Service: Valve will give you acess to tf2 vip if these items are not returned to you V.alve Service: If I was a scammer, I would change my allias dont you think? @ MetalSlug @: So @ MetalSlug @: what you want? V.alve Service: One weapon V.alve Service: Any @ MetalSlug @: For? V.alve Service: Nothing V.alve Service: You will get it back V.alve Service: Your accou
This was a funny read. But do you have screen shots to prove it? Admins can't really do much with out the proof. And I dont see flames or the name V.alve Service from recent names with the steam profile you sent
I dont know where this should go but I think this fits here. These "Allias" Screenshots should not be enough evidence. This is because, any person with a computer can change the name and date to make it seem real. The "original" is above and this is a edit that took me less than 5 mins http://imgur.com/fnzjDDr As you can see the name is changed. This can be used for a: false accusations, b: false evidence, and to sum it all up, this is not enough. What needs to happen is Valve need to make a sort of "chat history"
