    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561197962572967

    Victim profile: 76561198216921417

    What happened? Description:
    Messaged me asking to trade.
    1) clearly impersonated former csgo pro steel (all links on profile redirect to his profile)
    2) had me add 2nd alternate account (ninfox) for attempted trade scam​

    Provide Evidence:
    Steel messaged me asking to trade items for paypal originally. His account is mirrored of the real steel's account (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197963077268 ) as an attempt to scam users. His own inventory is private (https://prnt.sc/j8sbeq ) and the trade link in his profile redirects to the real steel's inventory/trade link (https://prnt.sc/j8sbjh). He was messaging me on mobile and sent me a few links to imgur albums that he uploaded, which were most likely malicious. Here are the albums from imgurs own website: www.imgur.com/a/GU7U6Xv and www.imgur.com/a/QfOV1jq . The 2nd link is him pretending to be the real steel, whom he said he was. Notice the different profile picture and name capitalization in the top menu vs profile name. I don’t have pictures as he blocked me and the chats disappeared from mobile, but the 2nd picture clearly shows that it the same steel profile that was messaging me impersonate the real steel. Upon agreeing to trade had me add [his?] second account (https://prnt.sc/j8sdk8 ), Ninfox (https://steamcommunity.com/id/MrNinfox16 ). This account, along with steel’s help, tried to get me to send items with nothing in return so they could “verify”my items(https://prnt.sc/j8se8s and https://prnt.sc/j8seh2 . Ninfox is obviously steel’s second account as steel sends me Ninfox’s trade link for me to make an offer- https://prnt.sc/j8sdy5. Upon calling him out, he called me and then both accounts blocked me- https://prnt.sc/j8sf4a .
