    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198069242753

    Victim profile: 76561198120277202

    What happened? Description:
    Hollandese and another guy named F R E S H tried to scam me, Hollandese impersonated a steam admin who was acting as a middleman to "check that the items were legit" and then tried to get me to send a trade offer to the "Steam Item Database." The trade was for my Killstreak Botkiller Mk.1 Scattergun and F R E S H's 12 keys. Immediately after he said 12 keys for my 4 key item, I checked steamrep for both his and hollandese's profiles, and found that hollandese is banned from marketplace.tf and backpack.tf for impersonation. I caught on to what they were doing, and played along until they came to the part where they wanted me to send a trade offer to "Steam Database" which was actually just F R E S H. (This was the link sent: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=391705161&token=hCfhyRYS so you don't have to type it out.) I told hollandese to stick it where the sun don't shine and then he threatened to lock my steam account, and then I was unfriended by both hollandese and F R E S H. I've included the entire steam group chat log between me, hollandese, and F R E S H, along with screenshots of both of their profiles.
    F R E S H's info block:

    @The Alquacka You report the user you were FIRST in contact with - not this user.
    Doing this backwards hurts our ability to review the report properly.
    You only need to reference this user in the report like you did here just backwards.
    Since the other user is already tagged/banned twice now - nothing more we can do. you should have seen this and it was best at that point to just ignore/delete them and move on.
