What happened? Description:

This user with cooperation from this user http://steamcommunity.com/id/LaurayPablo_AssistanceMod/
attempted to do the "trade verification/authenticator bypass" scam on me and another friend by offering items of MUCH higher price than the ones requested and that it's possible to remove the 15 day trade hold because I don't have an authenticator.

The profile of the accused is an impersonator of the original successful TF2 trader here http://steamcommunity.com/id/Purplicious93?tscn=1498928937
and has been using his profile for 3 years of impersonation...​

Provide Evidence:
