    Description:
    I am not sure why this is even happening, but I suddenly noticed this person impersonating me. Ironically he was in my invites list (which is why I noticed), but I do not recognize any of the other names, so I am not sure why I originally added him. I am not sure why he is even impersonating me, but I do trade often.

    This person is already marked but I will add this to his profile. Thanks for the report! :)

    Also, as to the why- more and more legitimate traders are being impersonated, sadly, so the scammers appear to have "clean" profiles when they do not. Sometimes they're chosen at random, other times they purposely choose a trader on their target's friends list.
