Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

Accused profile: 76561198295448972

Victim profile: 76561198089946671

What happened? Description:

A day after I recieved my knife, through the means of buying it. A steam account http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561119829127200/ wanted my knife in exchange for another, I went along with this until this person wanted a 'Steam Admininstrator' to 'verify' my items. That was it, as soon as this scammer linked me to this supposed steam admin, I started to check for any discrepencies with this supposed steam admin. Surely enough he didn't show up as a steam admin on SteamRep, so I proceeded to call out the scammer who eventually blocked me. And now I'm here to report this steam admin for impersonating a Valve employee. I don't know if you guys will investigate about the scammer involved in this too, but that's why I left a link to their profile just in case. Thank you for reading​
