    What happened? Description:
    User claimed to be a Steam Community Administrator and said that the victim had duplicated items on their account. The scammer proceeded to ask for verification of the items via trade.

    The false guide was recently changed after I sent this report, I took screenshots of all the profiles on the guide in case it decides to change again. If screenshots of the guide are needed, I will send the pictures.

    @Tophead I want the trade offer URL that the user gave you in the chat pls.
    Also always take a full screenshot of the users profile WHILE friends - not afterwards - it helps prove identity.
    I was able to do that another way which is rare!
