    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198336095852

    Victim profile: 76561198142951961

    What happened? Description:
    So this all started by one of my friends (https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198241391166/) messaging me about "something important" that he reported me for duped items accidentally and that I should add the guy mentioned above. As I quickly found out that this is the same old "item verification scam" I decided to play along and added the guy. After that he pretended to be a steam admin and told me if I don't send my tf2 items to this other account (https://steamcommunity.com/id/JZQ55) my account will get deleted, as I refused and confronted him for trying to scam me he just removed me. I hope the evidence is enough to ban this guy.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Screenshots include chat log with him, the trade and the gifs he sent to me.
    Unfortunately the screenshots dont include the entire chat window as I didn' t think of that and I already closed it.

    This is NOT the first user you should be reporting - You basically reported the other user that was brought into the scam event. You must make sure from now on you report the FIRST user you were contacted by and who started the scam..you only need to reference any other accounts involved and describe HOW they were involved in the description by including the FULL SR profile block along with details of how they were involved.
    Also include any and all FULL screenshots you have as evidence.
    Please do not resubmit a new report - this one will do for now.

    I will monitor report for a few days - this is very typical in fact about everyone is done by hijacked accounts.
    If hijacked Valve will react to them with a community ban.
    No need to reply again - but in the future best to report things like this to Valve.
    Will monitor thanks!

    I'm archiving report anyway as the accused was community banned and sealed what I thought as the hijacking.
    Please do not report these here again.
    report them to Valve instead.
