    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561197969093628

    Victim profile: 76561198087833949

    What happened? Description:
    I placed an arcana on the market and was added by a user looking to purchase it directly from me instead. I knew he was a scammer because there was a post about him on the dota2 subreddit.

    This user was part of 10 fake rep groups in order to build rep. He kept asking me to check his profile to prove that he is a legit trader.

    I told him he was a scammer and still insisted on making the trade. I suggested to use a middleman and asked to use an official one from r/dota2trade. He said it would take too long and wanted to use another one from a steam group. This middleman was already confirmed to be a scammer.

    Fake middleman: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197969114726

    Provide Evidence:
    The middleman was already verified to be a scammer and the original scammer had already done this type of scam before.

    There was a post on reddit but was never reported here

    Of course..common fake middleman page - has a few legit that hardly ever add you or accept your add cause they busy.
    SO you end up thinking one of the others is legit but they aren't.. the creator of the page is the tagged user they gave you so there ya go.
