Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

Accused profile: 76561198100164482

Victim profile: 76561198081407483

What happened? Description:

I am accusing this user for being involved in an attempted scam with an impersonator. He's been on my friends list for a few years now, maybe like 2 or 3. While I don't remember exactly when or why I added him, it was probably in a community server in TF2. He sends me a random message stating he 'accidentally' reported my account for having duped items, and I am now on a ban list and need to talk to a Valve Administrator. He links me to a private profile of the impersonator whose profile is now deleted, but the user tried to scam me through 'item verification'. I do not have screenshots of that particular chat with the impersonator. In the screenshots you'll see that I played along to see the extent of this scam with this user. After I admitted I knew about the scam, both users unadded me.​

nice scam dude
reported for being involved in this

The profile of the user I suggested no longer exists, in response to me finding out about the scam.

The person I am accusing for being involved with the attempt scam told me to talk to the CARL user, and CARL deleted his profile after I found out.

I've tried searching his SR with his profile URL but nothing shows up.
