Accepted Report: 76561198308456729 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198308456729

Victim profile: 76561198209195433

What happened? Description:

Added me out of the blue saying they worked for Backpack.tf and Valve, using broken english to report that one of my items (Unusual Cloud 9 Merc's Mohawk) had been reported as stolen and that they needed it in order to check if it was stolen, which makes no sense since theyre reporting it as stolen lol.

Anyways they keep saying that it's part of their job to figure out if the item is stolen as they were hired by backpack.tf and Steam, so they go ahead and send me a trade offer from another account (all acc. info attached in photos).

Both of these accounts are not marked and I'd like to report and get them marked before someone falls for it, seeing as in the history of the guy that offered me the trade, there are a couple of good unusuals that were probably also scammed.

Dont know if all the Info I have is enough, hoping it is just to get these 2 marked.

If there's anything I need to add, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you in advance!

Note: Scam 3.png is just to show that I'm in the Scammer's friends list.​

Provide Evidence:

All the Screenshots below and the chat log should point out both profiles, if needed I can add the ID64 and all that of the second account that sent the trade offer.​

EDIT: Just found out the person that sent me the trade offer was someone I traded with and was friends with before! Here's their info as well:

| steamname: [V.Σ.Ш] Soviet Thorvi
| steam3ID: [U:1:137266571]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:1:68633285
| steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198097532299
| customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/3123kd21jd1
| steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198097532299


Custom URL Should match the one in the screenshot of the private profile, hope it helps!

Sorry for the triple post, can't find anywhere to edit post and I keep finding new info. Just posting a screenshot of the second profile since he changed the Custom URL and before he changes his name enough times to hide the one he sent the offer with.
