    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198056461664

    Victim profile: 76561198064930674

    What happened? Description:
    He added me saying he was interested in my unusual, he then asked me to trade my unusual Grenadiers Softcap to a friend to prove it wasn't duped. Which I did, not knowing this was a common scam method. Before I could even tell my friend to trade me it back he was trading with another person who copied my steam account, or at least the profile name and avatar. His steam ID is 76561198116428292. Sadly by the time I got to his Backpack profile he had already sold the hat.​

    Provide Evidence:
    In non chronological order, sorry, but I included screenshots of; The chat with the scammer, the scammers alt/helper account profile with proof he had my username recently, the alt accounts profit after selling my hat (sadly I didn't find his profile fast enough and he had already sold it) and both my trade history and my friends to prove where the hat went.​
