I noticed his profile was private and I started asking stuff to the guy. I made a mistake not stopping the trade when I saw the profiles and when he said "Steam doesn't let me" when the profile could be seen in the browser: Real guy: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kzwen/ Impersonator: http://steamcommunity.com/id/kzwen__/ To be clear, the profile with the 2 underscores was checked through the client, the other one from the browser. Must have been a moment of greed and stupideness. Also, he used the Steam Trades comment page to make the Scam. I don't know about alt-accounts. Code: Amake: Hell Amake: o kzwen: hey there kzwen: are you interested in a key for awesomenauts? Amake: Probly Amake: but I don't think the key will grant me the Tf2 items kzwen: i can do it for 1 trine, not 2? Amake: Ok Amake: I must ask though Amake: were is the key from? kzwen: i won it here, im from holland, and a couple of days ago, the website received 50 keys from ronimo to giveaway, and i was one of the winners kzwen: http://tweakers.net/redactieblogs/83368/win-een-key-voor-de-pc-versie-van-awesomenauts.html kzwen: the site is dutch :P kzwen: so i bet you can read it :P Amake: Yeah sure, if it was in spanish jaja Amake: I'll have to try the key first and see if it worst, mening you'll have to go first. Amake: Sounds reasonable? kzwen: can i see your rep? If you have more rep there is no problem for me to go first kzwen: or if you want to use a middleman you can do that Amake: I don't probably have more than you, I don't trade that often Amake: May I see your profile? It's private. just want to make sure it's not a disposable account. kzwen: steam made it private, i can let you see my rep page: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/kzwen kzwen: i have 111 rep kzwen: i trade alot kzwen: also with paypal and keys Amake: Ok, looks good. kzwen has accepted your request to trade. Amake: welp, trading is at it again kzwen has accepted your request to trade. kzwen: my graphics card runned too hot :P kzwen: my screen went black xD Amake: Wow, you check that thing xD kzwen: yeah its fixed i hop ;P kzwen: hope* kzwen: Q7RWT-MI76R-BY78A Amake: Sorry, but the following items are not avaible for purchase in this country. Your purchase has been cancelled. Amake: Nees a screenshot for that? =/ Amake: Need*
Can you also post a screenshot of your trade history? You can find your Trade history by going to your Profile, then hitting Inventory and then clicking View Trade History in the upper right hand corner.
I have also reported this guy with steam yesterday. It was just brought up to me by another guy with luckily saw his scam through. I have also posted on steamtrades but as it is down atm, not sure how's it's going. PS: I am the actual kzwen. Not 'kzwen_' (who has since been banned) nor the above fella 'kzwen__'. Please also take a look at this thread here: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/blinkdog-impersonater-scam.8269/ The impersonator also impersonate me as 'kzwen_' and they found out his actual details. Maybe (not sure, no proof) this 'kzwen__' is the same person?
At least 3 others have came to me saying that they got scammed by that impersonator too. I hope something quick can be done, like valve banning him completely or at least a trade ban so people will be wary.
