Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198303347169

Victim profile: 76561198131413153

What happened? Description:

This guy randomly added me as a friend and then as soon as I got online he messaged me. We made up a deal of my minigun kit for his holy mackerel kit. He then said to check for duped and bugged items we needed to check with a steam official. I knew this was probably a scam but I went along with it anyway so I could get more evidence. He told me to add Programmer Ben, so I did, then he made a group chat with me, Programmer Ben, and himself. The dude tried a middle man scam and sent me a link to Programmer Ben's trading link. I didn't click the link and then I filed this scam report.​

Provide Evidence:

I have the chatlog + photos of the chatlog and screenshots of their profiles. Since no actual trading happened I don't have anything on the inventories.​
