Accused profile: 76561198416125620

Victim profile: 76561198125348457

What happened? Description:

The person added me trying to impersonate a known TF2 trader, he sent a link of his "own" TF2 backpack which was from a real trader known as Garp, his profile can be found on this https://steamcommunity.com/id/BarBa12 (real person's profile and not scammers) After I told him to make his inventory public and not private, he ignored my further messages, left me waiting and just deleted me​

Provide Evidence:

Hello, the subject above contacted me impersonating a known TF2 trader.
He started sending me "his" link from a account but that one was his "main" which was from the real person he was impersonating. He tried to buy my 4 of a kind unusual, but when I said I want NO links of his other "main accounts" I want him to open the inventory to public on this one from which he was trying to scam me from, he didn't answer for a while and then deleted me. This was his intent to defraud not a "close call" how it would be called but yes.
I really hope that this will help with people who will hopefully look on this page and know that this person is a scammer with proof. View attachment 656228 View attachment 656229 View attachment 656228 View attachment 656229 ​
