    What I'm saying is you uploaded the screen shots to a 3rd party hosting site - we can't accept those - Upload it to the report here. As for another moderator to look at the report, I've not taken it in to review it myself I'm just looking at it to what its missing prior to someone or even myself reviewing it.

    @ЩĄ | Horse Ok here are all the images, in some I do not have the full screen. I also listed all the evidence that is not a screenshot below.

    The fake middleman's account: http://steamcommunity.com/id/PenquinPrinceee_____/

    Summary of what occurred again:

    I was victim of a middle man scam. A high level account
    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198235765554/
    which was an impersonator of http://steamcommunity.com/id/cArecsgo/ approached me showing no inventory but instead a "vault" inventory.
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/cArecsgo/inventory/
    The first impersonator had a instead a private inventory and sent me the account he was impersonating inventory.
    The first impersonator continued to act scared and with caution asking if my item was duped (duplicated) or not.
    He continued to go on and said to send my item to the second impersonator account. I don't have this evidence, but I was invited to a group chat with both impersonators. They continued to talk as if who would handle the fees and what not (professional). I doubted it would be a scam because both of the impersonators had a high steam level account and acted professional in the group chat.

    I also have proof the second impersonator (middle man) is actually a impersonator. I feel this information is needed because in the second impersonator's description claims it is not a scammer. The following video is the real middleman explaining how he is real.
    One of the reasons is that he has over 500+ games, meanwhile the impersonator has less than 10. http://steamcommunity.com/id/PenquinPrincee___/games/?tab=all
    Also I have a legitimate reason for the two impersonators to team up. The first scammer has a trade ban on his profile. Resulting in a opportunity for the two scammers to team up.
