lubacos (76561198047004156) is a trader with a good reputation for selling keys through Steam trade and gets paid via PayPal.

Attached is his reputation thread on external site Dota2Traders.com
where most trades involving money occurs.

His reputation thread is:
http://dota2traders.com/forum/thread/76561198047004156-lubacos-reputation-thread.3141/

Attached are screenshots of the impersonator (76561198090958849) as he attempts to scam me by saying that he will pay through PayPal. To re-assure me and to make the trade seem legitimate, he asks for my Dota2Trade reputation thread which I have given him as can be seen on the screenshots. He also provides me with "his" supposedly Dota2Trade reputation thread which actually belongs to the real lubacos (76561198047004156).

As can be seen on the screenshots, as soon as he was asked for why the two steam URLs are different, he immediately deletes me off his Friend's list which further confirms that he is an attempted scammer.

Here are the screenshots of the Steam accounts of the users:

Notice that he has a lot of positive feedback and +reps which I suspect are faked as well to lure traders into believing that he is to be trusted.
