Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198097122975

Victim profile: 76561198393403738

What happened? Description:

So it started off in a trade_plaza 2 server and he randomly joined talking about how to get these free items. He added "To learn more add my steam" so I was curious to see what this scam was all about (This is my first time seeing this type of scam). It turns out I think he was aiming for my Australium Axtinguisher which I donated days after he wasn't responding to a charity thingy for TF2 (I have the Madness vs Machines medal displayed on my profile). I LITERALLY just got a new unusual and a new Australium Axtinguisher since my friend got me a 100$ Steam Gift Card and he just talked to me out of nowhere...The whole rant will be in the screenshots.​
