What happened? Description:

I honestly don't want to give the description of what I believe to be true here as it's just such a convoluted case that I thingk I should leave it to you guys.

Basically, he seems to have posed as an artist, and I let him make art for my group (Loadout Art, 1000+ members). He was fine at the time but always had my doubts which are generally unrelated to the actual incident.

Went on hiatus for personal reasons, unfriended everyone..
Turns out it was because he scammed 10 users of a total of ~1000 euros.

He sent a message to the people he scammed about this ridiculous situation he created while posting to me a super serious message about "taking a break from art"

Note how much he talks up Chaos to get his help.
Chaos is the guy that told me about all this.

As you can see, he's using dramatic and emotive wording to make this ridiculous situation sound believable which paints him as a liar and makes me very concerned about the nature of the art he's done for the group.

This makes it hard to pinpoint victims as all info was provided by someone I suspect to be the same person as the actual scammer.

In the end if he doesn't get banned for this I guess it goes to show the stupidity of this reporting process, I just thought I'd post it all here so he has a harder time from here on. I guess in the end it's an interesting situation.​

Provide Evidence:

Here's a quick bit of info: At the time he unfriended everyone I was able to get back in contact with him so he obviously still had access to his account.

Chatlog from phone pre- incident (sorry for awful presentation, hopefully it counts but whatever)

Proper video of chatlog after the incident where he owns the fact that he scammed them, pretending to be a super l33t epic hacker and acts in a fraudulent way.

"My dear friends and clients! I have been hacked… I’m pissed as hell. My hacker managed to gain control the moment I left my house to find him. I ask you all to stay together and watch my profile. I’ve started working on getting it back. I want my best friend Chaos to lead you in this, he is very capable and smart. This message is automated and was prepared should I get hacked. Your items are safe, and you will get them, but I have to fight this. The hacker trapped me and now I lost control. He for sure by now has unfriended and blocked all my friends and left all groups. Here are all the clients: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198305254905/
