Accepted Report: 76561198968686051 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198968686051

Victim profile: 76561198202115179

What happened? Description:

Basically, An imposter of FishCrimes (imposter ID64:76561198205270203) messaged me asking for a trade. We went through the ropes and when it came time to trade he said he would have a steam representative "verify" my items were "clean". I knew the scam as I had already been through it with another user who previously scammed me before I knew what to do in that situation. The account that I am reporting is the "steamrep" admin who could verify my items. I let them know I was onto them and they promptly blocked and unfriended me.​
