    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198297119443

    Victim profile: 76561198056251305

    What happened? Description:
    He added me under to pretense of honestly buying CS:GO keys from me using PayPal. Turns out he was an impersonator and most likely also a scammer.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The accused added me to buy some CS:GO keys from me. I opened his profile and clicked the SteamGifts link he provided in his description. It led me to a SG profile with a decent amount of reputation, but opening the Steam Profile of the SG profile led me to the victim's profile.

    Clearly it is impersonation. After I accused him of impersonation (refer to chat image!), he admitted he was impersonating. Then he removed me after realizing I will not fall for his scam.

    I alerted the victim shortly after, but it was too late because if you look at his SG profile, he already has a -rep from a scammer.

    Two images I also included, named "nolanPayPal.png" and "nolanSteamProfile.png". I suspect the accused's name is Nolan, and on his friends list is another person named "FrogSmurf" (similar to the name "CrazyFrog") whose name is Nolan. That profile is flagged a SR Scammer. A bit after, CrazyFrog uploaded some artwork that encompasses a screenshot of his PayPal balance. Note the name is also "Nolan". While this is subjective and may be jumping to conclusions, it still adds to the pile of objective evidence.​

    My bad, I should have spent more time proofreading. "He already has a -rep from a scam victim" is what I meant to say.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the delay in responding to this report. Unfortunately, we will be unable to proceed with the report due to the following:
    • Screenshots must be full screen, uncropped, and unedited. I cannot process this report without proper screenshots.
    • In the future, you would be the victim for this interaction: you should instead put any relevant accounts involved in the reports description instead of in the "victim" block.
    As such, this report will be marked Declined. Please read this guide: https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-submission-fundamentals.169802/ and https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/ prior to submitting a report.

    Regards!
