    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198143889523

    Victim profile: 76561198071608679

    What happened? Description:
    I got added by this person because he was supposedly a youtuber named GT2KING: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZpAw_uBRtWVEwmecLa57xg?&ytbChannel=GT2KING and told me that he was a broker. I asked for his youtube channel and got the link, so I went the the youtuber's about section on youtube and found his steamgroup. There the group owner was the real GT2KING so I clicked on his steam profile and the scammer wasn't on his friends list, so I asked the scammer to prove to me he was the real GT2KING by asking him to add his main account and accept the invite from there (GT2KING's real account http://steamcommunity.com/id/GT2KING) after which he proceeded to remove me from his friends list.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I uploaded an image to the attached files section​

    I accidentally re-reported him because I was trying to find my report on the forums but couldn't and only the second time the gray bar with message popped up after submitting.

    A friend was also added by the scammer but wasn't interested in trading at all and although suspicious of the scammer, couldn't care to confirm it was the real youtuber and even report him.
