What happened? Description:

User convinced me to trade my knife with my own friend to show that the knife was "safe" and "tradeable". I did that, thinking that it would be safe that I'm trading with my own friend and then he would trade it back to me no problem, and I trust my friend 100%. He added my friend to his friend's list to check his inventory. He then made a fake account that replicated my name and profile image and then initiated a trade with my friend pretending to be me to trade the knife back, thus getting the knife from my friend without my friend realizing he was trading with him and not myself.​

Provide Evidence:

Excerpt from chat log I had with him on another account confronting him about the trade (see image 1234.jpg):
