    Scam Report

    Report Type: DO NOT SUBMIT TO STEAMREP - Phishing or suspicious link
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198851049517

    Victim profile: 76561198250068972

    What happened? Description:
    This was my first trade ever and I was a bit foolish. This person was using a spoofed account of someone who had good rep and trade history to scam me and other people. He sent me a link that said would validate my keys and items and everything went downhill from there. I felt safe because I had so many authentication factors between us, but I should have been smarter. Either way, I want this person dealt with in every way possible, to stop them from scamming other people. Judging by his accent, I'd guess he's somewhere in India. I don't know if that will help.

    I contacted Steam support and also backpack.tf and marketplace.tf. I don't have high hopes I will get my items back, but. Again, I at least want this person punished and stopped. Thank you.​
