    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198206272896

    Victim profile: 76561198112217552

    What happened? Description:
    Impersonating the DCG (Darth Chicken Gaming). Backpack-value +150.000$. To scam other people.

    The link on his profile: "Check my stuffs here - ☞Backpack.tf ☜ , refers the inventory of the real DCG, instead of his own inventory."​

    Provide Evidence:
    DGC = Darth Chicken Gaming

    The Real DGC has a private profile. But that doesn't mean scammers can't abuse this. The inventory of DGC is public Visible on backpack.tf. He is one of the richest players of TF2. This is a perfect account for impersonators to copy.

    ☞Backpack.tf ☜ link has hovered. The steamID of the link isn't equal to his own steamID.

    I can't prove the real DGC by sending his inventory-link because he has a private profile. But on backpack.tf is his inventory visible.
    I hover the community which shows up his steamID (in the bar, bottom right)

    The Real DCG from steam / youtube

    I am not in contact with the impersonator. People asking telling me, they've added by the scammer. And he tried to scam items.

    I'm not concerned with who is who..
    Don't report users in the wild like this - you made a report for your own impersonator and that is fine.
    That user being impersonated could have made their own report.
    The last thing we want are users making found in the wild reports against users that are or may be impersonating someone else but has no additional intent to scam.
    I'll go ahead and accept this one time now that you know.
