    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198349431602

    Victim profile: 76561198077788972

    What happened? Description:
    The accused came to me with a random friend request asking to trade my corona, grand-master, and bat-saber. I started recording when he showed me the real trader's backpack asking if I prefer keys or Items with oversell. The trade proceeded normally until he had asked for a market graph for my items, he then led me on discord and a third site to screen-share the transaction. I made it so nothing would work and he settled for screenshots of everything. He had me sign onto Bitskins and have me give items to a bot. As of this point I ask him the relevance between the two, he avoids the question telling me to just do it. I ask about his accounts, he tells me that he had been scammed out over 500 keys before asking me to do it quickly. I ran out of patience with him, and told him to give me proof of him being the real W0lt, and he gave me a cropped screenshot of an edit profile button.​

    Tags thru partner comms are still thru the SR database and have the exact same effect.
    And that other report is the very reason I'm asking - We are here for education first - as in helping you avoid users like this - the tags here are for a warning for others like yourself to avoid.
    Try to avoid them from now on vs interact as scammers can be rather tricky even if you think you know it all.
    Once a tag is applied thru the SR database either by SR or a partner there isn't a thing more we can really do to them.
    This last tag I'll apply to this user is the final one- all other reports will be archived against this user.
    So in the future if you see someone tagged add you - its best to just delete them and move on.
