    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198094385318

    Victim profile: 76561198056392785

    What happened? Description:
    The person randomly added me after a game of TF2 and was interested in a couple of my items, he made a high offer for one of my taunts which immediately had me suspicious, he then proceeded to ask about my unusual and whether it was "clean" this is an obvious scam and was soon wanting me to trade my items to a random person to get some help from "official steam assurance" . I tried to get as much evidence as i could from the conversations. On further inspection the inventory shown in the user's profile linked to a completely different user's who they are impersonating.​

    Provide Evidence:

    This screenshot is taken straight after the scammer added me, it shows his offers and acceptance of my offer, they then move on to recounting a very sad tale so i feel bad for them then they begin... the clean test
    View attachment 682472 In this image it is clear that all top level trades use these systems, he then sends me the link to a private profile which i added and discussed how we can possibly find out if my items are clean.

    essentially this is a middleman middleman, you have to send the offer to this account to be "verified" then our official mr greuben over her will verify our items and distribute them to use, it is clear that all 3 of these accounts have been made by the same person.

    This is the proof that the inventory listed in this profiles description belongs to someone else.

    I have all the info for the profiles involved if that is required :)
