    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199091204016

    Victim profile: 76561199132452531

    What happened? Description:
    I was trading with
    Hidden Content:
    **Hidden Content: Content of this hidden block can only be seen by members of (usergroups: Administrative, Moderating).**
    and was on call with him and sharing my screen with him, he wanted me to check "all items relevance works", he said to go to marketplace.tf, then told me to go to the watchlist, put the name of scrap metal in the search box, then click the in stock section. Doing so a "bot" (Which is who I'm reporting) that is this one proceed to offer a trade to take my scrap in return for nothing, after accepting the trade, I click the stock section again then the "bot" offer to return my scrap. After that we then do that to my unusual, the thing I was selling, but this time it did not give me back my stuff. He then said that I should friend the bot to get help, which I can't (since I'm a f2p) but THE BOT FRIENDED ME BACK. Then me and the "bot" talk:
    "Bot": Hello! Please let me know how can I help you.
    "Bot": !help - To Communicate Marketplace.tf Bot.
    Me: !help
    "Bot": Our site is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance and upgrades, but will return shortly.
    Me (After a bit): !help
    "Bot": (Can't read the chat again since it unfriended me but basically asked what I need help with)
    Me: (Basically I want my stuff back)
    "Bot": Your items have not good Instock relevence watchlist works! You need to verify withdrawal offer to clean those fraud items.
    Then it basically sent me a trade offer to take all my other tradables in tf2, which I accepted
    It then ask "Which are you using mastercard/creditcard? to buy the stuff and add funds money on your steam Wallet?" which I answered none, then it ask that I send my the username and password so that it could do a check, which is the moment I realize something was up, then out of nowhere it sent me a trade to take all of my csgo stuff, which I declined

    In the end, the "bot" took all my tradables in tf2 which include my only unusual and all my cosmetics, the guy I was talking with haven't reply, the "bot" unfriended me and I'm in absolute pain, seeing my only valuable item being stolen, not by the scammer, but by my stupidity​

    Provide Evidence:

    I don't have the chat with the "bot" because it unfriended me, and the steam chat continued in discord in a call

    Sorry you provided no acceptable evidence of any scam here, no chat/agreement noted thru steam chat screenshots as required.
    Impersonation regardless of name isn't a reportable offense - you also reported the wrong user - you always report the FIRST user involved but without context you can't submit one here.
    You can report them to Valve instead.
    Please do not submit reports here without proper evidence.

    Nothing provided suggests/shows this user is or was guilty of any wrong doing per policy.

    Declined.
