    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198309401141

    Victim profile: 76561198256848858

    What happened? Description:
    I've listed an unusual (Nuts n' Bolts Warhood) for a few days now. This person (Curiosity) added me roughly 2 days ago. Just today have I started talking to him, his previous statements were that he was interested in my item. Today he offered an unusual (Cloudy Moon Wraith Wrath) and 4 keys for my unusual. I agreed and he arranged a group chat with a "Valve employee" called Scott (who has been banned on this site). Curiosity used the excuse that my items had to be checked, that Scott would take it from me and that I would receive it back once it had been checked. Scott sent me offers multiple time as I refused, then he threatened to trade ban me. They cut contact with me but I was not blocked. I am accusing Curiosity of attempting to scam me, with the help of Scott, by 'item verification'. I am also accusing curiosity of identity fraud. (Low quality GIF provided)​

    Provide Evidence:
    I am not sure if these screenshots will be accepted, I was not aware that the entire window had to be in the picture but I am now unable to go back to those chats. I apologise that the images provided are not in chronological order. I am also​

    I forgot to finish the sentence in "Provide Evidence" I uploaded a gif of the accused's profile and how they are attempting to pass as someone else.

    I have also found out that I can go back in the individual chats, not the group chat, thorugh the mobile steam app.

    - Do keep in mind that this user is already banned/tagged..there isn't any more we can do to this user. Should you come across a user like this again(check users out BEFORE you accept friend request) it is best to just report them to Valve, delete and move on.
    Your screenshots of the chats are ALL unacceptable - too cropped - we need FULL screenshots.
    I'm marking report invalid but as I said already tagged - nothing more we can do and you need to really check users out better in the future.
