    Sorry, don't know where else to post this because I don't have any legitimate proof, but I think this guy:

    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198003470088/
    http://steamrep.com/search?q=http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198003470088/

    is an alt of this guy:

    http://steamrep.com/search?q=76561198022161189

    Sorry, I don't have any proof, but Niko (76561198022161189) added me yesterday saying "Hello, sell items for money?", obviously I steamrepped him, showed as scammer, wanted to see what he would say next, so I asked what he was looking for. He then typed the exact same message, I'm actually pretty sure he just copy and pastes it. Didn't say anything after, decided not to waste my time and deleted him.

    Today, Mep (76561198003470088) added me typing the EXACT same thing. I'm talking like copy and paste exact same.

    Don't really know if this counts as anything, but his profile is also private, just want to throw it out there for people who.... I guess want to sell to people with private profiles...? Shouldn't be doing that, but just in case!

    I have had NUMEROUS times the exact message posted. When someone comes and asks sell items for money they do not even say what they want. Just want to know if you will give them items in the hopes of getting money. I have never ONCE had someone actually pan out and buy something from that opening line.

    In fact. most times when steamrep or sourceop are thrown in the air the next message i see is [disconnected]

    Sounds like scambots? They could be bots for all anyone knows.

    Offering to buy items for RC isn't inherently scamming, although scams often lead from it. Unfortunately, you aren't able to report this person for anything, because for all we know, he's just trying to buy lots of items for RC. You need significant, irrevocable proof that he is scamming before you can report him.
