    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198137781307

    Victim profile: 76561198170083101

    What happened? Description:
    mb, a trade banned trader, added me for interest of my Miami Nights Voodoo Juju (as well as some interest in my other unusual) but gave me the whole "do you have a trusted friend online, I need to see if the item is clean or not." I knew that he was trade banned by Valve, but I was interested in how he was going to attempt to scam me, so I played along as if I didn't know what was going on. I listed my trusted friend as Skully, who I was in discord with at the time, and mb invited me into a group chat with THIS user, pretending to be Skully. I knew it wasn't actually him, because Skully and I were aliasing at the time, so I decided I would try and stop this trader as well. I checked before this user blocked me after I called them out on it, but they aliased as a bunch of other users as well, probably to trade scam them too.

    I was aliasing at the time as well, my name at the time was "I run faster with my knife out"​

    https://gyazo.com/184ec4223e6913d3bfffe62fab69a5e1- proof that impersonator impersonated Skully, as well as many other players

    I'm sorry about having to do this through gyazo, I know that you want me to specifically screenshot, but memory issues happen at this point when I try to download pictures :(

    EDIT: went to desktop and got that sorted out. Here are the screenshots​

    He is an impersonator of mb, a popular trader. I chatted with the real mb earlier today, and he's aware of the problem.

    This is the fake mb

    Ok thanks - yes both users are already banned/tagged at this time. You need to do a better job of checking users out prior to dealing with them to start with.
    Should you come across a user like this again its best to report them to Valve, delete and move on.
