Accepted Report: 76561198361001300 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198361001300

Victim profile: 76561198173703910

What happened? Description:

User added me to supposedly trade, impersonating another user who had earlier sent me an offer (this being the real person) for my Vintage Community Sparkle Lugermorph. He was extremely adamant about me checking my "defindex" on this website when I explained to him that I do not know what the website is or what a "defindex' is. The website is highly likely a fraud/phishing website considering how adamant he was about me checking it, instead of just sending me an offer. The real account is here. https://steamcommunity.com/id/i-kill On this account, he states that all other accounts are impersonators and that he's the real one. He has since recently changed his identity after talking with me. I believe wholeheartedly this is impersonation with intent to defraud.​

Hi

[5:23 AM]
Naked Snake:
Hey. Sorry that the Luger isn't for sale, it was one of my trading goals.

[5:23 AM]
purotexnuk:
Hmmm
so what items is up for trade?

[5:24 AM]
Naked Snake:
I have a few items, probably not what you're interested in, especially since most of them involve skins or the like.

[5:24 AM]
purotexnuk:
Strange Thunderbolt Sniper Rifle (Factory New)
Isotope Backwoods Boomstick Shotgun (Factory New)
Hat of Undeniable Wealth And Respect
Strange Sand Cannon Rocket Launcher (Factory New)

[5:28 AM]
Naked Snake:
Actually I was just looking to quicksell my Homemade Heater, it's one of those skins that require you to craft 100 factory new civ grades with stat clocks into 10 freelances, and then those 10 freelances into 1 mercenary grade.

[5:28 AM]
purotexnuk:
hmm may i know the defindex of your backpack?

[5:28 AM]
Naked Snake:
What do you mean?

[5:28 AM]
purotexnuk:
definition index bro
do you know how to check it or where?

[5:29 AM]
Naked Snake:
Uh, you can just view my inventory from my profile.

[5:29 AM]
purotexnuk:
that's not what i mean

[5:30 AM]
Naked Snake:
In all my years of trading I've never heard of a definition index.

[5:30 AM]
purotexnuk:
hmmm lol
wait
do you know how to check it ?

[5:31 AM]
Naked Snake:
I know nothing about any definition index, but if you want to make an offer, you can send it through steam.

and inventory check

[5:33 AM]
Naked Snake:
I'm pretty sure you don't need a third party website other than backpack.tf to check to see if an item is duplicated or whatnot.

[5:33 AM]
purotexnuk:
do you know what is the purpose of index?
you can based the price with it
i want to know it so that i can easily calculate my offer

[5:34 AM]
Naked Snake:
No. I do not know what an index is. In the three plus years I've spent trading and playing TF2 I've never heard of this phrase.

[5:34 AM]
purotexnuk:
loll
check it to see what i mean
inventory check only

[5:36 AM]
Naked Snake:
I'd rather not visit a third-party website, if you have an offer you can send it to me over steam and I'll take a look.

[5:36 AM]
purotexnuk:
what do you mean?

its safe bro
secure

[5:36 AM]
Naked Snake:
You can send me a trade offer, and if I like the trade, then I'll accept it.

[5:37 AM]
purotexnuk:
ok give me couple of minute to decide
but you can you to check it for me please

[5:37 AM]
Naked Snake:
No. I know what my backpack is worth, and I know what my items are worth, and I know how much I would want for them.

[5:38 AM]
purotexnuk:
do you know what is the index?

[5:38 AM]
Naked Snake:
I do not need to know what the index is if I have gotten to a 14k+~ inventory without knowing what this index is, after trading with many high-tier traders.

[5:38 AM]
purotexnuk:
check it

[5:39 AM]
Naked Snake:
Why do I need to check it? I'm just asking you to send me an offer, if I like the offer, then I'll accept the offer. I do not need an index to know if you are giving me a bad offer or not.

[5:39 AM]
purotexnuk:
i will send an offer after you tell me the right defindex

[5:40 AM]
Naked Snake:
Right, why do I need to tell you this? Tell me why it's so important?

[5:40 AM]
purotexnuk:
im a business as i said im basing on index and i want to know it so that i can easily calculate my offer
you can get some profit

[5:41 AM]
Naked Snake:
Can you not find other people's index? If you can't, then couldn't I just tell you a lie about my index?

[5:42 AM]
purotexnuk:
what do you mean?
i can't f✿✿✿✿✿✿ understand you

[5:43 AM]
Naked Snake:
Can you not find out my "defindex" through that website if it means that much to you, and if you can't, what's the point of it, because that means people can make up lies about their defindex.
That's what I can't understand.

[5:43 AM]
purotexnuk:
just try to check it you don't do anything

[5:43 AM]
Naked Snake:
Is defindex similar to my Camo Index?
Sigint, what are you trying to tell me? Is my Camo Index low?

[5:45 AM]
purotexnuk:
Idk , the price of items change time to time

[5:45 AM]
Naked Snake:
Yeah, but backpack.tf is the most accurate way to track item pricing.

[5:45 AM]
purotexnuk:
im not basing on backpack bro
im basing on index

[5:46 AM]
Naked Snake:
So index determines the price of my items, but the most reliable way to price your items is backpack.tf, not index.
I could be sorely mistaken, but I do not understand what this index is.
I know my Camo Index changes depending on my environment, but I'm not sure what you are talking about at the moment.

[5:47 AM]
purotexnuk:
just try to check it

[5:47 AM]
Naked Snake:
My camo index is currently at 80%.

[5:47 AM]
purotexnuk:
that's not whati mean

[5:48 AM]
Naked Snake:
Why are you trying to base the price of my items on my camo index?

[5:49 AM]
purotexnuk:
just check so that we can proceed

[5:49 AM]
Naked Snake:
I said that you can send me an offer and I'll take a look at it.

[5:49 AM]
purotexnuk:
and can start sending you offer
check it now

[5:50 AM]
Naked Snake:
Why do you need to know my defindex to send an offer? You can find the value of my items easily on sites like backpack.tf, as can I.
If I like the offer you send, I can accept it.

[5:50 AM]
purotexnuk:
as i siad im not basing on bp\

[5:50 AM]
Naked Snake:
You can also determine if an item is duped if you'd want.
If you're not basing on backpack.tf, then how do you know you're sending a good offer?

[5:51 AM]
purotexnuk:
im basing on index
brb
dinner time

[5:52 AM]
Naked Snake:
But why? Why not base off a trusted and reputable website like bp.tf that thousands of traders use instead of this unknown website?

Impersonating other traders.
