Accepted Report: 76561198201214646 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198201214646

Victim profile: 76561198083899612

What happened? Description:

I was contacted by a user RUSTYjus (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198329162701/). He stated that he accidentally reported me to a steam "admin" for duping items in TF2(which Ihaven't played in 2 months). He apologized endlessly and sent me a link to the "admin" who I've included the details for. He came off as professional yet aggressive showing me a video about how i will get permanently deleted. We began a trade which is when I started to seriously doubt the legitimacy of the situation, the trade was wth a suspicious account called "Item Checker Database" (https://steamcommunity.com/id/256454546). A friend and I deduced that this may be a scam and I simply asked the man for proof to which he responded with hostility threatening to delete my account. This wasted about an hour of my time going back and forth with this guy. I checked the steam rep database and did not find him. There were inconsistencies with the "proof" he tried showing me. I have numerous screenshots of what happened. He didn't get a single item from me.​

Provide Evidence:

I have included images of his profile, the trade that was about to happen, and screenshots of the chat log. View attachment 729068 View attachment 729069 View attachment 729068 View attachment 729069 ​

Here is some additonal evidence

I've only known the user for the 2 and half hours of my time that he wasted last night. I've never seen him before. And I can't give you an ID64 of the Item Checker Database account sorry, I tried looking at the profile from the trade screen and it wouldn't load, I can't access it at all.
