  1. Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198299571526

    Victim profile: 76561198173022889

    What happened? Description:
    Added me asking if I could vote for their 'team' after I clearly said I was not going to click on any links they posted. Private inventory, and I only accept publics - deleting comments and eventually disabling comments. The account was clearly bought due to the amount of steam friends it has (despite being 4 years old) as of this moment it has 4 friends - they are spam adding profiles. As well as this the profile picture, name, location and general profile screams that they are not legitimate. I fear that many people do not know what an API scam is and could fall victim to this user. As soon as they saw they were not getting anywhere they blocked me.​

    Provide Evidence:

    Although the user did not send any links, it is suspicious to me that they immediately blocked me, and disabled their comments section after I -repped them.​

    im young, so i still live with my parents
    also, i'm a trader but your inv is private - if you wanna trade sometime soon you should make your inv public otherwise i most likely won't stay on your friends list too long

    [20:32]
    Alexis:
    could you vote for our team then? It doesn't take a lot of time

    [20:32]
    Proto ⇌ low/medium skins:
    as long as i dont have to sign into anything, or click any links you send me
    where do I go to vote, and does it involve signing in using steam
