    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198128077671

    Victim profile: 76561198037202135

    What happened? Description:
    Got added by some random user, presumably from lounge. Long story short the person seemed really apt to clear out my inventory for a doppler or two so i decided to take heed. The main, "talker" account has clear rep here at time of writing this, however the storage acc has a pending report.

    Talking to the guy went bad at first, but after some fumbling on both sides we struck a 2:1 deal. Jolly. For some reason the accused party insisted on using a middleman, even linking a few for my convenience. Even more jolly! Two of them were even legit! Tried some basic social techniques to keep the action going and not waste anybody's time. Accused party ended up telling me they got added by a middleman. Yay me.

    Chat then derailed to me doing some basic discussion with my new "reputable" friend, then escalated to a group chat. By that time i've decided that enough is enough and cut the trade, proceeding to screencap stuff.

    Note the name changes. Provided name history clicked out for the vault account.

    For convenience's sake, here's the infoblocks of other accounts involved:

    The Vault:
    | steamname: Owen Ferguson
    | steam3ID: [U:1:264736644]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:132368322
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198225002372
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/9DwmKYnc0n
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198225002372

    The Impostor:
    | steamname: [RG]Bacon [/r/tf2trade]
    | steam3ID: [U:1:135912718]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:0:67956359
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198096178446
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/IRGBacon
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198096178446

    Provide Evidence:
    Breakdown of screenshots (neatly numbered after the steamID):
    1-4: Initial talk with the scammer
    5: Initial talk with the impostor
    6-7: Group chat with both accused
    8-11: Clicking through profiles using Steam for verification purposes​

    Wolfie you are just awesome. I just saw this thread but I was too late. This rgb bacon guy and the other one used the exact same conversation and scammed my knife. I see they are now trade banned. But the thing I wanted to let you know is that the Freddie guy has one more account which has the exact same info and other stuff. Here is the link of this account. Please report him too so that he gets perma banned.

    Hi, sorry to hear about that. Thankfully the person you've linked is trade banned already. I'd love to pin a report to that person's account, but i can't do anything without evidence - and i don't seem to be getting any attention on my deals recently.

    I reckon it's already too late for you to take any decent screencaps of the conversation and post a report, so let me quote a solid tip from an anti-scam guide from /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade:

    IF YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED: DO NOT CLOSE THE CHAT

    Best of luck with your future trading. Feel free to add me on steam if there's anything i could help you with.

    Yea I know it's too late. I would have never fallen into the scam but as you know both their profiles were too well written. I am always going to keep an eye on such on the future. :)

    Please slap a report to the new account if you have sufficient evidence then. The sooner they get tagged with a report, the better. Oh, and don't forget about sending a report to Valve.

    As far as i know alt accounts don't get banned all that often, most probably due to the whole "Hey, it's my vault, items are there" scam going on constantly.

    Don't get scammed again - check out those links!

    That should get you up and running in no time. Remember: you're never obliged to do a trade "fast", even when the other person is seemingly in a rush and a reputable trader.
