    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561197962354849

    Victim profile: 76561198327295417

    What happened? Description:
    One day they sent me a friend request a few days after i bought a few more expensive items on backpack.tf. i was a little bit skeptical about accepting it because it might be a scam, and i finally decided to accept it a few months later (like a few days before their attempt). i quickly checked their steam profile and when i saw their inventory was private, i immediately knew what was going on.

    today i finally received their first message asking to trade my painted bruisers bandanna and strange specialized killstreak grenade launcher, my 2 most expensive items in my backpack (both over 40 ref). they provided a link in "their" backpack, asking me to choose an item for them. knowing that their inventory was private, i immediately knew it was a scam because their provided link has many unusual items. i recognized the scam and they removed me from the friend list.​

    Sorry no scam here- I see nothing in the chat that suggests the user was trying to scam you.
    The image in the chat shows NO LINK - going to any profile.. you apparently have embed images still enabled in steam chat and that does not allow URL's to display.
    I suggest you turn that off from here on out however this report is rejected since there is no proof intend to defraud here.
