    --------


    There was a trade offer for two Dota2 items (the two Wind Ranger items, about $48+10 in market value) for a Dota2 item (a seasonal loading screen about $0.03 in value). They claimed that it would be a placeholder for until they were done streaming. They attempted to identify as a user on my friends' list, who was not online and available to chat at the time.

    After this conversation, they removed me as a friend, cleared their previous user names, and created 4 new ones. I reported their profile to Steam. I believe they were impersonating id64 76561198025777811 with the clear intent to scam.

    I cannot find any other information on this user and would like to have some kind of documentation in case they attempt to use SteamTrades or SteamRep sites. Screencaps include the accused scammer's profile, chatlog in the middle, and a chatlog with my friend on the right side, describing what was happening.​

    The accused is not in those screenshots... what am I missing here? They never used the name MasterBlaster Either.

    Hey, I described that they added me under a name I can't remember and don't have anywhere. Then they changed their username, profile picture and profile details to match MasterBlasterLive, a user on my friend's list who's id64 I included. Then the accused changed their steamname to TheSquidHunter.

    I think that's going to be the difficult part to prove unless there's a cache somewhere showing both that username and id64 tag together. I'm not too familiar with steamrep or related sites. I tried looking on dotabuff or somewhere else that would have documented the name change, but even dotabuff didn't catch it:
    NameLast Used
    TheSquidHunter7 days ago
    urallmutedsry2017-08-29
    theSquidHunter2017-08-29
    JimRainor2017-08-20
    joseviva2016-10-22

    Namehistory on Steam also shows the day-of changes, but misses the MasterBlasterLive name change:
    https://steamcommunity.com/id/765611980334843261/namehistory


    [​IMG]
    Name Changed - 4 Sep @ 5:04pm - ТheSquіdНuntеr

    [​IMG]
    Name Changed - 4 Sep @ 5:04pm - urallmutedsry
    [​IMG]
    Name Changed - 4 Sep @ 5:04pm - JimRainor

    Would anyone know of any site that tracks name changes like that? That would be the vital part for connecting the fraud to the chat log, but regardless, I wanted the accused's id64 to be documented somewhere.

    Ok I see no date on the screenshots either to match up any name history.
    Sorry but you do not have enough evidence or any evidence of this user being guilty of any wrong doing.
