Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud

Victim profile: 76561198261771051

What happened? Description:

Added me and was interested in trading for my Stormy Storm Das Gutenkutteharen. Offered me 24 keys which is a fair price. I checked his inventory from his steam profile (not using the link in his bio) and saw he had low value items with only a Max's Head as his most prized possesion. I questioned him about where he was going to get the keys from and he linked me to the profile he was trying to impersonate claiming it was a "vault account". This account had a different steamID url to the one i was talking to but gave him benefit of the doubt and told him to send me an offer so I'd accept it. He then tried to get me to use a "Valve Official" to "undergo Item Verification" at which point i called him out and he unfriended me.​

Provide Evidence:

I've got three screenshots showing the impersonators profile next to our chatlog, the person being impersonated (the inventory which he has posted in the chat) next to the chatlog, and a screenshot of the profile which is linked to the chatlog header showing the steam profile level and identical badge.​

The Fat Stormtrooper: Hi mate , I just wanted you to know that I am interested in your tf2 items are they still up for trade ?

The Fat Stormtrooper: Can I offer your Stormy Storm Das Gutenkutteharen for 24 keys ?
ＫＲＡＦＴ　ディナー: you don't have 24 keys in your inventory tho
The Fat Stormtrooper: In my vault account I have
The Fat Stormtrooper: Only Max Severe Hat only my stuff right now
ＫＲＡＦＴ　ディナー: I doubt that you have a vault account, you only have a max's head
ＫＲＡＦＴ　ディナー: which is your most expensive item by far
The Fat Stormtrooper: Check my vault account here : https://steamcommunity.com/id/fatstormtrooper/inventory/
ＫＲＡＦＴ　ディナー: If you send an offer of 24 keys for my hat you can have it
The Fat Stormtrooper: Okay sure
The Fat Stormtrooper: Btw. If you dont mind can we both undergo Item Verification by Valve Officials first just to have assurance if we are really trading safe items.Are you okay with that ?
