    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198338065627

    Victim profile: 76561198209195433

    What happened? Description:
    Impersonating another player's bot profile? Tried to get me to accept to have a "Steam Admin" verify our items before he could trade me the keys for my unusual. I told him my unusual was clean and he could check on backpack.tf, but insisted that we get someone to verify the unusual before trading. I told this person that I would look up an official middleman since he was so skeptical, but they unfriended me and made their profile private before I could get a screenshot of their profile. I have photos of the chat where he says he wants to hire a middleman to the end of the chat right before he unfriends me and makes his profile private.​

    PC screenshots in the future not mobile - mobile is hard to review.
    Also full screenshot of users profiles WHILE your friends not afterward.
    cause of all this I can't verify you were ever in contact with the user - follow next set of instructions

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Review this screenshot guide to help you:

    Hey there! Sorry I couldn't reply back yesterday, finally got around to accessing my computer so I could send those photos that you ask of.
    Again sorry for the mobile photos, the scam attempt was happening while I was not at home and had no way of viewing the chat on my computer! Hopefully these screenshots are useful, really want to ban this account since it seems clean and someone could fall victim to them. I'm uploading 2 photos since the popup of the user's profile blocks my name and I don't want any confusion.
