    @xeltz ★ Yes and that report is irrelevant to this one as it showed no intent.... same as this one because I have no idea who the original user this person is impersonating, nobody has provided it yet. Can you give me some more information for this?

    Again - other reports are irrelevant to THIS report - I'm also asking the OP or the creator of this report NOT you. Please refrain from posting here if you don't have anything positive to add.

    The scammer is impersonating this youtuber - https://www.youtube.com/user/Mefju23

    The scammer in this case is a member of the youtubers steam group - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Mefju23YT/

    This is the real youtubers steam account http://steamcommunity.com/id/mefju23

    Are you really telling me that it is not impersonating and attempt to scam when someone uses the same steam profile picture as the original youtuber, even uses the same nicknames as the youtuber and claims he is the youtuber.
    The guy wrote to me stating he could make a video of my map that I have created on CS:GO. He then claimed to be a YouTuber (which he is not) and that he would want a payment (cs:go skin) if he made a video.

    Are you seriously telling me that this is normal?
    If I change my image on Steam to e.x "Sparkles" - (The YouTuber) - and I add people to later say "I'm sparkles, i'm a youtuber, give me skins because I will make a video of you giving me the skin." -- Come on dude.

    @pBratva | Green Arrow Your report was archived as it was lacking evidence - we will NOT move a report on without proper evidence..that is your fault not ours.
    I understand your frustrations but that is our policy.

    Thanks @xeltz ★ Thanks for the information - Impersonation with INTENT to scam is what we are looking for. If we took reports for every user with the name "Doge" and the same profile image we would be here for weeks.
    Moving this to review.
