    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198081172172

    Victim profile: 76561198075741193

    What happened? Description:
    I have a fairly popular (in my opinion) trade on outpost where i sell unusual and other rare stuff : http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/29265103#p65379664

    User *PoorAsianBoy* added me without an offer on my trade, he showed himself very hasty to make a trade, but wanted to first verify that the item could be listed on OPSkins. (fair enough)

    As such, i mentionned that no item will leave my inventory without pay
    he agreed
    he then started telling me that i should follow "his instructions" which consisted of listing my taunt on OPSkins quicksell portion of the site (website he wanted to resell it on) (so far no attempt to scam)
    he then asked for me to post screencaps after i sent him an initial one depicting my item could be listed and sold on the website (that should be enought of a proof already for him to see its tradable BUT whatever)
    here is the screencap i sent : http://imgur.com/bPUkMSf (fig.1 can be found below)

    Shortly after that, i sent him another screenshot : http://imgur.com/65V1lYC (fig.2 can be found below)

    this one depicting that the bot itself WOULD allow for the item to be sold on the website since its sending the trade for it.

    here is where the s✿✿✿ starts
    after i send him enough proof and i had completed his procedure (faster than he intended me too but you will understand soon enough) he got flustered that i didnt follow his instruction (which i did follow), then asking me to remove it and even talks back on the price even though we agreed (BOTH HUGE RED FLAGS IN THE TRADING COMMUNITY!!!)

    >>fast forward a little bit after i managed to find it back and add it back to my inventory...

    i showed him i managed to get it back with this link : http://imgur.com/IeVgrQL (fig.3 can be found below)

    told him i couldnt see the taunt anymore in the OPSkins trade window and he showed himself even more insistent (asking me to yet again "follow his instructions"

    we redid what i already had done, but this time, before i even got to go on opskins and trade back the item the way he wanted it to be done he told me

    "tell me if you've accepted the offer"
    and i received an opskins offer (depicted in fig.4 below)

    but...it wasn't an OPSkins offer, and it couldn't have been because i didn't hit the deposit button on the website (also post-writing this, i notice the trade number he provided *fig.4*(first number in the trade message window : 69034746) is MUCH lower than the actual number of trade opskins is at currently (8 digits compared to 9) (depicted in both fig.4 : 184823095 and initial trade by bot #0281 *fig.2* : 184806956)
    I verified the Fake bot, it is obviously a scam, the bot doesnt even have its profile page formatted the same way as a real one and the bot is never online (notice the lack of bold character in certain sections - Fig.op.comparison can be found below)

    more over OPSkins bot are at least level 1 and have games on their account (mostly CS:GO)
    "Poorasianboy" automatically blocked me and unfriended me after this incident happened, called me an algae and such
    his backpack is private and he poses like hes legit, he might have plenty of fake trades under his belt and his account is filled with fake comments saying how he is hasty but "delivers" and such

    i was lucky enough to check
    OPSkins official reddit

    https://www.reddit.com/r/opskins/comments/4742c4/common_scams_to_watch_out_for/

    before i attempted the trade
    a section mentioned to be careful of ANYONE asking for screenshots of the OPSkins website (EXCEPT for the mods when they have to resolve a ticket)
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ***3. Sale Queue Screenshots

    This scam is very similar to #2. In this scam, a scammer approaches a victim and asks them to list their skins on OPSkins so the scammer can buy them. They ask the victim to take a screenshot of their OPSkins sale queue when they are about to list their items. Once the victim sends the screenshot, the scammer sends the victim a trade offer from a Steam account that looks like an OPSkins account but is actually fake. This results in the victim receiving two trade offers, and the scammer then instructs the victim to accept the offer from the fake account. The scammer then disappears.

    To remain safe: Never send a screenshot of the OPSkins website to someone else. There is no legitimate reason why someone else (other than OPSkins staff, and only via a support ticket) would need a screenshot of the OPSkins website from your account.***
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    All the proof can be found below, and while the scam is performed under the alias of a opskins bot, the scam is still impersonation and should be able to be proven to be this guy with all the timestamps and date provided.

    I would really like for you guys to look into that because i am afraid other people might have been scammed and they weren't nearly as lucky as me, while looking at the bot inventory to verify, i noticed there was 2 other unusuals :( (fig.kindofsad can be found below)

    thank you for your time!​

    Provide Evidence:
    all evidence were put in "attached files"

    all firefox screenshots were re-took AFTER the incident happened (since you guys have a strict policy for cropping and my original image on imgur had cropping to protect myself from malicious attempts)​

    Never tell your password to anyone.

    If by wrong user you mean multiple accounts, i can link the rest of them

    the user is using a different account to try and impersonate a well known third party website

    which falls under fraud impersonation.

    I found another "bot" of his

    original bot is here : http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198374594899 *THE BOT WHO TRIED TO TRADE ME*

    additional bot i just found (of his) is here : http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198266563715/ (listed on his OWN account by himself) (known history of making fake bot, you can know its fake for so many reason i can't begin to count them, one of the more noticeable being the name change from strife trading unit to opskins, which aren't related in any way possible)

    also i dont know how he would have paid me since he's VAC Banned (which means you cannot trade items AT ALL) but whatever it just adds to the pile of evidence.

    comments are disabled on his account since March 9th, recently re-opened today.
    Comments were disabled about 1 week after report from : Salty Pretzel *
    Report: 76561198081172172 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)
    , you can know because the scammer had no message from march 9th until today)
    a very similar case you dismissed (ЩĄ | Horse) for lack of evidence back then

    No I mean you Reported the WRONG user - as in you should have reported the impersonator NOT the real user.
    You need to verify this cause I already know.
    Follow next set of instructions.

    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:

    o my, after researching other cases similar to this one, i have come to the conclusion that THE ORIGINAL user sets up his account to fake users into believing he is someone else, the user i should have reported is : PoorAsianBoy QS > Unusuals : http://steamrep.com/search?q=http://steamcommunity.com/id/poorazianboy

    i just noticed he already has been reported, sorry for the waste of time.

    You didn't folllow my directions...but you figured it out that you did report the wrong user.
    You need to be more careful- I'm sure you would be rather upset if someone reported you by accident.
