Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198247587746

Victim profile: 76561198061116853

What happened? Description:

Initially tried to offer on my unusuals (which I clearly stated I would not trade on my profile) even though I only have one. Then he asked why it had no value since its an unpriced hat. Since he didn't know what unpriced unusuals were I was pretty suspicious. While he wasn't reported on steam rep at this time, he had 2.5 hours in TF2, a private backpack, and most importantly a link to "his backpack.tf" page. Since he didn't want to attempt to figure out the value of the unusual he decided to ask for my Strange Pro Killstreak Gunslinger instead for 25 keys pure. When I said I would accept that offer he asked about OPSkins and for some reason asked for my trade URL instead of directly trading (Even though it on my profile already), I decided to cut to the chase. I told him I was aware of a scam involving an "OPSkins bot" sending trades to "confirm that they are sellable." After one last message from me, the scammer unfriends me.​

Provide Evidence:

I have provided screenshots below consisting of the chat window, the scammers profile, and my profile showcasing the fact that I have said my Unusuals are off-limits and my trade URL. Sadly I forgot to grab a screenshot of his backpack being private on steam or the backpack of the person he was trying to impersonate so I have his actual backpack.tf profile instead.

Just to let you know it's my first time submitting a report like this so let me know if I need to change or add anything​
