    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [None] No items

    Accused profile: 76561198170171785

    Victim profile: 76561198061845595

    What happened? Description:
    I was contacted by someone in my friend's list who I've had for a while, but not known very well. They messaged me to say that I had a pending Ban report on my account. I was confused since my account is clean and I've not done anything to change that. They then said to click to a guide and add an "Admin" to prove my innocence, with a mild threat that my account would be permanently banned. Of course, this was throwing all sorts of red flags in my head. Screenshots of the chat are in evidence.

    @DingdongJR Please do NOT crop screenshots like that - FULL screens are what we need here in the future!
    Did you get a FULL screen of the users profile also?

    Oh understood, I didn't realise, I'll keep that in mind for future reports.

    No sorry. They've removed me after that last message and the account has been privatized, so doing it now would be pointless. I have a suspicion that the account itself has been hijacked, as they've never done this sort of action before. They've also disabled commenting on that guide.

    ok I'll review this again shortly.. I managed to find another way to verify identity to you and this user - without the profile screenshot WHILE friends it makes things difficult to tell that.

    Thank you. Sorry I couldn't provide more intel. I doubt I'm going to be the only one being directed to MrGordon to "Prove my innocence", but least he is on your radar now.
