Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198051747567

Victim profile: 76561198057379872

What happened? Description:

I was offered a trade for my tf2 item, initially saying no, I soon realized the person messaging me wasn't my friend, I suspect he got his account hijacked or something.

Going along with it he lead me into a reputation fraud scam and/or item verification scam.

He had me add to "get official steam assurance" that my item was legitimate:

and then later on I was asked to add this account to trade my item so it could be "verified":
