    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198850820147

    Victim profile: 76561198054601655

    What happened? Description:
    Clearly impersonating the well known user B4nny and trying to trick people into giving them their items because of a recent subscription. I'm assuming this user has access to b4nny's discord and is seeing peoples trade links in his hats4subs thing and trying to impersonate b4nny and take peoples items saying he will sign them.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Proof of the trade offer:
    [​IMG]
    fake b4nny steam:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    He doesn't even show his games, his inventory is private, and his account is only level 10.
    B4nny's real account: https://steamcommunity.com/id/b4nny/
    the real b4nny is level 20, has all of his tf2 stats public along with inventory.​

    Full screenshots - can't review what you gave.
    Also you need to show me impersonation with intent to defraud. Yes the trade offer was sent so I would need that FULL screen AND I need it thru a web browser, hover your mouse pointer over users name so it shows up the URL at the bottom of the screen.
    Also I need screenshots of each users profiles FULL screens..showing the links they have on their to compare same as above with the trade offer.

    Yes, now the compared profiles is one thing but I need to see where the links go for each. Just like you did for the first screenshot.
    I want to match them up not just see the words to click on.

    these are all the links on both profiles, the impersonator seems to have just directly copy pasted and didnt try to change anything to further deceive people.
    Here is also an official statement from b4nny on his discord.
