Accepted Report: 76561198154418881 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198154418881

Victim profile: 76561198048064118/

What happened? Description:

Added me randomly and asked to trade. He tried to overpay drastically by 5.5 keys, so naturally I accepted. He then wanted to use a middle man to check if my items were duped or glitched. Naturally, I told him I do not want to use a middleman so he told me to die.​

Provide Evidence:

I checked his profile and he links to a steamrep page that is not his to try and make it seem legit. He also has a moderated profile comment section to make himself seem legit.
He links to this account:
| steamname: mb
| steam3ID: [U:1:114658556] This zero is supposed to be a 1 on the real account
| steamID32: STEAM_0:0:57329278 \/
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198074924284
| customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/MlixxX2
| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198074924284

All of this leads me to believe he was trying to scam me with a fraudulent middle man. The main account he is linking to might be a scammer, but I have no evidence.

Here is the chat screenshot, I tried to include a background so there would be no disputing it's authenticity. View attachment 589818

Here is his real profile (the one he tried to scam with)

Here is the profile he links to on his steam account

Here is the account page he tried to scam with (notice the friends list)

Here is the steamrep link he has on his profile View attachment 589822

Here is the profile of the person he or she was impersonating (Notice the friends list is different and it states in the bio that he/she knows someone is impersonating them). View attachment 589823

I hope I got everything in order and maybe someone knows more about the main account and it's connection this the fraudulent one, if any connection.​

I didn't. The accused profile is the one who attempted to scam me. The profile I linked in the evidence section is the one he/she is impersonating

Ahhh I put the wrong steam Id in. The links under the accused profile are correct, but the steam Id is wrong when I copy and pasted it. A 0 and a 1 is switched around.

76561198154418881 This ID is the scammer's. Not the one in the post title. My apologies.
