    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198156392172

    Victim profile: 76561197999873164

    What happened? Description:
    So, this person added me to trade, the only game this person could trade in was Team Fortress 2, and they had 0.5 hours in that at that time. I confronted them and the unfriended and blocked me. After some research, I found out they were impersonating the person listed in the "Victim information" section.​

    Provide Evidence:
    As you can see in screenshot one, you have the chat log.

    In screenshot two, we have the Steam account page of the scammer, who is level 3.
    As you can see on his account, he lists a link to his backpack.tf-page.

    In screenshot three, you can see that the linked backpack.tf-page doesn't belong to the scammer.

    In screenshot four, you can see the account this scammer has impersonated and attempted to use to scam with.

    Please do ask me if further information is required.
    And no, I have not been scammed.​

    Never tell your password to anyone.

    @Ragox Ok for starters - asking for additional information is our right if you make a report here... be expecting it at any time.
    Also its clear you weren't scammed by this user but you added the user to just brag to them that you were reporting them.
    That isn't what we are here for - we are here for educational purposes not punishment- best to avoid a user like this if you come across them
    Your evidence is also lacking - you didn't verify or show the intent to scam - as in where the links go - I had to do this just to avoid wasting more time.
    Next time avoid the user - and if you are approached by someone like this then make sure you show full intent prior to the report and watch the report for possible questions or more information.
