    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561197980209345

    Victim profile: 76561198029654784

    What happened? Description:
    This user added me after I had added Strife's main account (the one with the user id 'lifewithstrife') hoping to discuss a topic with him. He claimed he was an alt of Strife and tried to get me to discuss this topic. I am extremely paranoid on Steam and refused to click a link he sent me (you can see it in the chat window) which he claimed would update my mumble. I attach a number of pictures showing how his profile appeared on 17/4/15 and the entire chat log with this user. I strongly suspect him of attempting to pursue phishing scams via impersonation, and he has a track record of impersonation. I have reported him to Valve but he clearly needs to be trade banned because his profile has 9 years of service behind it and there is a chance he could convince someone to get them into a position to hijack them. I attach all relevant screengrabs.​
