    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198165914973

    Victim profile: 76561198129989638

    What happened? Description:
    This individual is impersonating a high-ranking tf2 player whom I believe to have the 19th biggest backpack. They added me at random around 8:15 pm on September 5th, 2023. They told me they were interested in my unusuals I had listed: Purple Energy Das Naggenvatcher, terr-o-Watt antarctic eyewear, eerie lightning surgeons squeezebox, and my mysterious mixer deep fried desire. He wanted me to put them up for listing on the website skinport.com however I was not to hit the blue steel button otherwise "he couldn't verify it was marketable". I lied to him at first, not bothering to make an account and all the sudden a bot from skinport that was obviously fake
    Hidden Content:

    . I decided to get enough out of him to garner a report, so I went along first saying I had put up a flare gun, but then changing that to an eyelander. I was able to identify that he was definitely in charge of the fake bot. I then went through with trading him the eyelander to see if I could damn him with more evidence. He had the "bot" trade it back saying that I could now trust him. He then afterwards sent me a trade(via the bot) for the unusuals. I actually went through the trouble of pretending to list them on skinport to make him believe me and he thus sent me a trade via his fake bot again. After this I decided I had enough evidence and I reported him and the fake bot account to steam and blocked all communication and unfriended him. I can prove we were friends because the message icon was shown while I was on his profile which shows we were friends. After I blocked him he then for some reason had the bot send me a trade for my unusuals and australiums in a seemingly desperate attempt to take my items.​

    Thanks - this user is already banned/tagged - nothing more we can do to them.
    Should you come across a user like this again upon checking them when you accept as friends, its best to just report them to Valve, delete and move on.
    Due to the amount of offenses already listed on this users profile, we won't be listing any thing more.
    Report will be archived for future reference.
    Again you can always report the user to Valve
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT

    Click here to view an animated gif that shows how to report a violation.

    Lastly - do not spam reports with photos like that and certainly without hosting them to the report otherwise it would be DECLINED regardless.
