    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198109375402

    Victim profile: 76561198053022629

    What happened? Description:
    This user is a scammer. about three months ago, he wrote in private messages with a desire to buy some of my things. He first showed his profile on the backpack and the reviews that were good and said that he would pay me extra keys if I sold all the valuable things from the inventory. I thought that since he has so many good reviews for the backpack and there are no negative ones, then he can be dealt with. Then he offered me to borrow the keys and then he could negotiate an unusual for me. he persuaded me to borrow twice and all the time said that I needed more, although from the very beginning he called a different price. I said I couldn't afford to borrow more and suggested that in this case he sell the unusual and return all the keys to me and he just stopped responding. He took about 670 keys from me. I saved our correspondence so I have all the evidence. later I checked his inventory, but there were no unusuals, I also saw a review on his steam page - someone complained that Halo scammed him, but then Halo deleted his message. I assume that he also has other accounts where he keeps things, I ask you to check them too (by IP or something else), mark him as a scammer and ban him on various sites, since apparently I am not his first victim. just now I found several pages of impersonators, but the account with whom I communicated was not marked as a scammer. the chat history was deleted, but I managed to take a lot of important screenshots​

    Looks like you are reporting the wrong user and not the user you were in contact with.
    User you reported here is a level 204 vs the user you show in this screenshot
    https://forums.steamrep.com/attachments/scr11-png.805292/
    is a level 21 therefore so far I see no evidence that you are in fact reporting the correct user.
    @MIRU You have 24hours to confirm and verify the proper user or show proof that you were in fact in conversation with the user you accused.

    From what I gather so far you are reporting someone that was impersonated by another user which is very bad...you are basically reporting an innocent user so you have again 24hours to prove you are in fact reporting the correct user.

    Lastly on a note - Reports need to be done in a timely manner vs 3 months later, that hurts our ability to review much of the evidence when you wait like this.

    Ok but you are reporting someone else here- not the user that had that number on their profile.
    Do you understand the situation here? The 21 level user IMPERSONATED the other user you are reporting here by linking from their BP address.
    Understand what I'm pointing out here?

    Take note of the users profile that I got directly from the user you are reporting Here...on this report.

    Exactly and that user has been tagged by so many comms thru SR and for so long that it was your mistake not checking them out properly and ensuring you were dealing with the correct user.
    Just as it is here your mistake for reporting an innocent user.
    Rejecting this report.
    In the future be more careful with who you report here- it is a serious situation!
