Scam Report

Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198244572284

Victim profile: 76561197999059147

What happened? Description:

User Appleteck wanted to buy items from me using a middleman service, they linked to the profile of a legitimate middleman and a fake middleman impersonating a legitimate middleman by having a screenshot of a legitimate Steam rep profile on their Steam community profile. The legitimate middleman was offline however, which meant I would have needed to use the fake middleman; I did not go through with the trade however.​

Provide Evidence:

The accused View attachment 500328 made a request to buy items from me, linking two middlemen to help with the trade. The first middleman was legitimate View attachment 500330 , the second one was not View attachment 500332 . as Gentleman was offline, if I had went through with the trade I would have needed to use Angel Mander, which was the fake middleman.​
