Already Banned Report: 76561197962850197 - ([Steam] Steam Games)

Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [Steam] Steam Games

Accused profile: 76561197962850197

Victim profile: 76561198057417184

What happened? Description:

I was looking for Blur on Steamtrades, and made a post here: https://www.steamtrades.com/trade/E...om-steam-store-w-paypal/search?page=6#ZBURUvw

The fraudster found me and added me on Steam. I accepted and engaged with him.
I did as he asked and waited for him to gift me the keys. As soon as he got the G2A key, he immediately removed me from his friends list.

When I smelled the scam I right-clicked his icon and checked his profile. Sure enough, it was the aforementioned scammer in the Steamtrades listing.

Unfortunately I haven't verified his profile identify before doing the transaction, otherwise I would have very quickly spotted his impersonation attempt. On my Friends Chat Messages (https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog), his messages are there. I've taken a video recording instead of the chat log saved by Steam.​

Hello @Shahnewaz,

YouTube videos, pdf documents and copy pasted chat logs aren't acceptable evidence due to our policy; https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/. Your screenshots are also way too cropped to be taken as evidence.
Going further, accused is already tagged/banned on SR so there isn't much else that can be done. I'll be marking this report as already banned.
I also moved your chat logs to the spoiler so it's easier to navigate.

In the future, please make sure you check SteamRep profile of the person you're trading with before engaging in conversation, doing so in this case would probably lead to you passing on the trade since they are already flagged.
If that is the case, there is no need to make a report.

Regardless, thank you for reporting.
