    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199238402270

    Victim profile: 76561198357334558

    What happened? Description:
    This person "The Nervous Pyro" randomly friended me on Steam and asked me if I was a trader, I told them no and he said he'd be asking me for a few of my items and told me to check their inventory for any items I wanted from him. After we agreed on our trade he said he was once scammed out of his 300$ investment and told me that he wanted a "Steam administrator" to validate our items and ensure the trade was secured, I agreed and he sent the profile of an account named "Brandon" https://steamcommunity.com/id/_brandon-/ and then "Brandon" asked me to create a groupchat with him, The Nervous Pyro and myself. Once we were both in the groupchat, he asked us to confirm the items we wanted to trade and sent us a trade offer from an account called "System Database" https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198422661329 . The plan of "The Nervous Pyro" was for me to trade my Team Fortress 2 items to their "System Database" account and then steal my items. The items he requested from me were: "Spawn Camper, Strange Mutton Mann, Strange Patriot's Pouches, Festive Shotgun". I then asked Brandon to confirm himself as a real Steam Administrator and sent him the "Valve Employee" badge, where he left as he knew that I knew I was being scammed. After he left, "The Nervous Pyro" left as well. I contacted "The Nervous Pyro" one last time to inform him that I was reporting him. I insulted him as well as I was quite upset that this person tried to scam me, calling him a "f***ing dumb*ss". I apologize for this behaviour.​

    This person unfriended me right after I told them I knew that they were scamming me. Is there any other way for me to prove that I was friended by "Brandon" and "The Nervous Pyro"? Also, "System Database" never friended me if you're asking for that as well
    Here's the trade offer by the way: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=462395601&token=dvu51oIl
