    Description:
    This player first attempted to scam metal slug. 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"
