    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198261771051

    Victim profile: 76561198098096360

    What happened? Description:
    So, i have an active bp.tf classified listing and an outpost listing for my circling tf logo Heralds helm. http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/29489625#latest and https://backpack.tf/classifieds/relist/440_6460470016. FatStormtrooper added me on steam and of course suggested to pay full price in pure. I told him that he could send a trade and he said that he wanted to check if it was "glitched or hacked". I of course expected that he would suggest a middleman. So, i said that if he was going to ask for a middleman, then dont, because its a scam. The uploaded files show the rest. What a sick human being. He of course unfriended me after.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Sorry for the messy screenshots, they're in no particular order. I tried to supply enough evidence but im very sorry if i didnt.

    @JJ.EMT Your profile screenshots don't prove identity to the user your accusing here - mainly cause you didn't take it WHILE friends - you did it afterwards so its possible your reporting the wrong user.
    Follow next set of instructions.

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Review this screenshot guide to help you:

    @JJ.EMT Its possible you reported the wrong user - rather than have an innocent user reported - this report will be archived in 24hours if you do not follow up with directions I asked for.

    I have never dealt with this person and I find report offensive. Impersonator clearly at fault. I wish they would learn from vids we post.
    I categorically have never dealt with this steam user before
    thanks fats

    I think I will give up with steam rep after this. Every time I report a user who attempted to scam me, i click on their profile and copy the link. Then, i paste it into steam rep and copy the info block and use it in the report. Then, i of course get a message saying that i reported the wrong user! I clearly got the right person! I do not understand the screenshot requirements that you have given me at all so I will give steam rep a break. Man, i wish scammers just did not bother me all the time!!! I am sincerely sorry for the hassle i have caused, and you wont need to worry about me again.
    Good luck and sorry for the hassle,

    Rather than say that why not just question what I said.. see this screenshot
    https://forums.steamrep.com/attachments/scam5-jpg.629916/
    It shows "ADD FRIEND" it never confirms you were even involved with this user- this username is common as the real one be it this one or not is highly impersonated.
    @JJ.EMT If you bother to do a name search on steam alone you would see this...here is an example of an impersonator with this username that is already banned/tagged here.

    | steamname: The Fat Stormtrooper
    | steam3ID: [U:1:158942669]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:79471334
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198119208397
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/7656119821771052
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198119208397

    I asked you to verify a certain way - its not hard and would solve the problem and perhaps catch either this user in the act OR an impersonator that isn't tagged that may help save someone else.
    We don't ask for things without reason but we do NOT tag users without proper evidence and that involves verifying identity properly.

    Your choice here but if you do not follow up then no future reports you submit will be reviewed

    OK, im sorry. I still dont even understand your screenshot requirements but someone commented on my steam told me what i should do. I will upload it here. If this is wrong, then just tell me and i will completely leave steam rep alone. I just dont want any hate or negative impact on me or my profiles. I did not search for anyone in steam and used his direct profile from my friends list. Once again, i am truly sorry to all that have been affected. And to the wrongly accused, im actually so sorry for what i have done.
    Sorry,
    JJ.EMT

    @JJ.EMT can you do that screenshot as I asked? You did it thru steam client I wanted it thru web browser and FULL screen so even task bar shows up. Also from now on make sure your steam client URL is enabled - its missing on that one screenshot. We don't want you to leave SR alone - just need to make sure your accusing the correct user is all.
    After you do the screenshot - click on that users name - copy/paste the steam URL from that user into steamrep search box - then copy/paste the FULL SR profile block to that user here pls with the screenshot.
    Example - this is your SR profile block

    Based on your screenshots - you should have reported this user
    | steamname: The Fat Stormtrooper
    | steam3ID: [U:1:161631839]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:80815919
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198121897567
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Stormtroops123
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198121897567

    This user is already banned/tagged - multiple times in fact for the same offense as in Impersonation with Intent to Defraud.
    I'm invalidating report now on the grounds that the wrong user was reported and completely innocent.
    Next time you make a report here make sure 1000% you have the correct user - I'm sure you would be rather upset too if someone reported you by accident.
