Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198355652831

Victim profile: 76561198041484404

What happened? Description:

I was added by this user and asked if I wanted to trade my unusual. I haven't traded seriously in many years but the red flags were clear enough with the poor grammar and request to talk on Discord instead of Steam. I looked up the name and found the account of the real Gnomy the Fearsome.​

Provide Evidence:

But this is the real Gnomy the Fearsome:

(I tried attaching my picture with the Upload a File button several times but it did not appear to work, so I sincerely apologize, but I think I'll have to post them here instead.)

Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Hail.

[18:48]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
hello mate
How are you ?

[18:49]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Alright for now.

[18:49]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
Oh good
did i disturb you?

[18:49]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
No, just playing casually.

[18:49]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
Oh cool
Well i wanted to know if your trading your unusual mate?
for pure keys?
or trading it for a new unusual ?

[18:50]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
You want to offer on it? I'll hear you out.

[18:50]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
yeah
if you are up

[18:51]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
You can try, but no one has agreed on the prices for the new halloween effects yet.

[18:51]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
Oh its okay, cause im not basing on the bp.tf right now, im basing on the sale history of the item
are you looking for keys?
or a new unusual ?

[18:52]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Anything will do.

[18:52]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
Oh so how many keys would you like to get for it ?
its a pretty cool unusual

[18:53]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
I was hoping 40, but I think 20-30 is more realistic.

[18:53]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
for the Omniscient Orb Highway Star mate?

[18:54]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Yes.

[18:54]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
i can't really sure about 40 keys cause i can't see the price of it on bp.tf,
i can asure you was 30 keys only if you have a good sale history
cause im basing on the sale history right now , so i want to make sure that your unusual have a good sale history so that i can resell it on the highier price and i can gain much profit on it

[18:57]
Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Looks like your backpack is private, so I can't see what you could offer.

[18:58]
Gnomy the Fearsome:
Oh yeah sorry i forgot to tell you that i set my inventory to private to avoid hijackers and etc mate, and also steam message me that so many impersonators copying my inventory so i prefer to set it on private so that no one can copy it,
i hope you understand me
do you have discord right ?

so that we can just talk there clearly and so that i can share my screen so that you can see my all stuffs okay?

Sayaka the Spooky Student:
Somehow, I don't feel like jumping through so many hoops.

[19:00]
Gnomy the Fearsome:

that's all
