Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198083873609

Victim profile: 76561198019320325

What happened? Description:

The scammer added the victim and asked for an offer for the item [Elder Timebreaker valued around $100]. The victim responded to the offer and asked me to be the middle man for it. We were both invited to a steam chatroom with me, him and the victim. I was traded the item, then was asked to trade to the scammer. At first, I noticed he had a steamguard strike when I opened the trade window, I pretended there was an error and stalled for time while I checked SteamRep. He then asked me to trade the item back to the victim. He stalled for time while his accomplice copied my steamcommunity profile and sent the victim a trade request. Believing him to be me, the victim traded his item.​

Provide Evidence:

Unfortunately, I do not have proof of the initial trade request because we are both inexperienced and had both closed and blocked the individuals responsible. However I have two vital pieces of evidence proving that the above actually happened.

1. Name histories of both the scammer (right) and the accomplice (left). [A] View attachment 151985

Note the full stop after each of the name changes. This is likely the work of two experienced career scammers.

2. Trade history. View attachment 151984

The last three trade notifications prove that the trade between the accomplice and the victim took place. Notice the name has a full stop just like the accomplice. To provide proof that I am not pulling a fast one, here is my own name history. http://i.imgur.com/Bm3cmMU.png

Hopefully this should be enough evidence for you people to launch an investigation/take action. If not then please let me know if you need further information. Thank you.
