    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561197997268820

    Victim profile: 76561198198605967

    What happened? Description:
    This guy added to buy my unusual engineer hat ( steaming industrial festivizer ) which I listed for 10 keys on bp.tf, he added me and said he'd buy it for 11 keys pure but that he had to " verify " that my items weren't " glitched ". He then asked if I had an trusted online friend, so I told my friend Neville to go with it. After that he said i had to give the unusual to my friend to verify it's not glitched, after I gave my friend the Unusual he said to my friend to give it to him, but my friend refused. Then, he added me in a multi-user chat with an fake account of my friend Neville with the same avatar, only this account was private and wasn't in my friend list. It's clear his intentions were to scam, and when I said i'd report him to steamrep he immediately left the chat, This guy should be marked so he can't scam other people in the future. I apologise for my English, it is not my first language.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I have uploaded the evidence including the screenshots​

    NarkoMyaso b>keys TF$1.80/CS2.10: i can go with 11 keys pure but can i make sure first if your unusual hat is not one of those glitched items?

    @ironfury Please do not crop your screenshots anymore.
    I need the FULL SR profile block to the fake friend AND your real friend - make sure you note which is which.

    Hello, I apologise for cropping the screenshots, I didn't know it was against the rules. As for the SR blocks, this my real friend Neville's - http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198163474082
    As for the private fake account, I have searched through the scammer's friend list for hours to no avail, it seems he has unfriended the account he attemped to scam me with.

    Would have been nice to have the other account involved but ohh well.
    Now the big issue is since you didn't get a profile screenshot that makes it difficult to verify identity - look at the next post instructions and provide that pls.

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Review this screenshot guide to help you:

    Hello, Sorry I didn't check my e-mail. I checked my activity feed but the info has been refreshed with new activities, I couldn't find the activity where it says we were friends, is there any other way I can verify that he had added me?

    You can readd them back - take a full screen of the chat so it shows exactly what it shows on one of the early screenshots you provided which shows the user leaving and last few lines etc..
    You have 9 hours to get that.

    Hello, nvm I found the activity, but there has been a huge mixup, the account that added me was different from the one I'm reporting here, It seems i mixed up the two, and reported the real account instead of the impersonator that added me, I really really apologize to the owner of the account I initially reported, here is the steamrep id of the impersonator that added me - http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198169760122. It seems he already is banned, but here is the screenshot confirming that he added me and my friend anyways, I again am really sorry for not properly checking the profiles, and i'm VERY sorry for the inconvenience i've caused to the original account owner and the admins, i'm very sorry.

    apparently - this is why we don't accept 3rd party reports either.
    I had a feeling you reported the wrong user..this is why we stay on top of them and give a deadline to provide evidence.
