    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561197982959877

    Victim profile: 76561198095082517

    What happened? Description:
    He tried to scam me but failed. This is actually the second "high level trader" to friend me and try and buy my hat for +300% overpay. Didn't both to check their real accounts instead I just googled their names both times. Luckily neither of them actually managed to scam me but I was to dumb to check their account before taking an hour to try and trade with them. (The other guy was a fake "-GoV-DedAndrei B>Knives" but I don't have evidence because it was too long ago.) The guy who tried to scam me this time is already marked as a scammer on backpack and steamrep but I just figured the more info we have about them the better. (And yes I was too dumb to realise it was a scam when he offered $500 on a $100 unusual... RIP my intelligence) Also here is his real link: http://backpack.tf/profiles/76561197982959877. Also your guide (https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/how-to-verify-an-admin-or-middleman.96267/) on the matter was very helpful in helping me make sure he was scamming. Thanks!​

    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: ok wait
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: btw can i ask a little bit?
    Burning Rose: ok
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: where did you get your unusual?
    Burning Rose: traded for it from a guy on outpost
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: okay i just want to make sure here that i am safe with you here in the trade
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: is that clean?
    Burning Rose: I have not duped it and looking at it's history it does not appear that it was
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: because i dont want to experience the same thing that happened to me the last time i traded i was f✿✿✿ed up
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: hope you understand my concern
    Burning Rose: yeah definately
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: im just being careful with my safety here
    Burning Rose: ok
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: sorry for many question
    Burning Rose: it's fine
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: my other account before got locked after i recieve some fraud items
    Burning Rose: ah. well i've had this hat for about 1 year at this point and I haven't had any negative side effects
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: thats why im being carefull
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: if you dont mind can we both undergo Item Verification by Valve Officials first just to have assurance if we are really trading safe items.
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: if its ok
    Burning Rose: I would prefer not to as it is the number one way that people get scammed currently...
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: thats why im being carefull
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: i dont want to experiece it again
    Burning Rose: If you can find a real valve official and have them do it then yes but I'm not interested in getting scammed
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: what do you mean?
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: ill find someone who can help us
    Burning Rose: The most popular scam right now is to find a "valve official" and have them take both of the items but they are actually just a renamed friend of one of the people and the other guy gets his stuff stolen
    Burning Rose: so im concerned
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: me either
    Burning Rose: I'm just wondering how this person would help us verify our items because it is most commonly used as a scam
    LegoTonix | S>330 Unusuals: thats why im not trading it directly i want to verify the item first
    Burning Rose: oh... f✿✿✿ im dumb
    Burning Rose: lol I never checked if you were the real LegoTonix
    Burning Rose: f✿✿✿o boi
    Burning Rose: nice fake account
