    @Alias14| trade.tf Impersonation alone isn't a scam - what evidence do you have the user is doing so with intent to defraud?
    You must show proof of intent and so far you've not done that.

    And doesn't that ring a bell? It's against the Community Guidelines of Steam and you can report them for it. Also, I provided a screenshot of him trying to pull the "I want to make sure your items aren't duped" scheme. I think that alone should be overwhelming evidence.

    Impersonation alone is not a tagable offense here. If it was such a problem for Valve they wouldn't allow people to copy user names like they do either.
    You must prove intent to defraud.
    The user at no time in either of those screenshots says anything about dupped items.

    @Alias14| trade.tf Please follow up - you have 24hours to do so since you are not able to verify identity at this point.

    Rejected for not able to verify identity to the accused - lack of followup also.
