I've removed that profile link - you are not tagged here.
Fake screenshot for sure yes - if someone reports you well the report has to run its course and we investigate it like all the others but you currently have no report against you at this time.
This looked like a scare tactic could be doing so for various reasons.
If you feel the user is trying to scam you, you can submit a report.

That user is already tagged/banned here also.. best to avoid them at this point.

I'd like to point out we have procedures for exactly this scenario. From the pinned thread in the Report a Scam section, if it happens to you:

Lava said: ↑

What to do if you are reported with fake evidence, and how to handle it:

Reply to the report with evidence proving your innocence. If you have screenshots, now is the time to provide them. Your reply needs to be in the open. If you don't reply publicly before reporting, your post report will be ignored.

Upload all evidence as attachments in your reply for step 1. Do not post links to screenshots on a 3rd party website like imgur or gyazo; upload them as attachments. 3rd party links are prone to disappearing later on, and we require evidence to be retained even after a report has been decided, so 3rd party links may not be acknowledged.

Report the thread using the in-post report system with a CLEAR and DETAILED explanation of what is happening. It's very important your post report explains there is fake evidence, and you explain what is fake about it in your reply from step 1, or it will be rejected. How to report a post?

Be advised: Requesting a scam report against you be taken down when it's actually real, because you want it removed; or providing fake evidence in your defense, is a great way to jump to the front of the line and get yourself a BANNED BY SR tag. By reporting the thread, you acknowledge you may not like the admin's outcome if you're guilty. See also: I've been reported on SteamRep, but I do not have a "BANNED BY SR" yet, what should I do?

For those who are unaware, submitting a fake report with doctored evidence will earn a BANNED BY SR tag, and additionally all of your accounts will be permanently blocked from submitting any additional scam reports. The same goes for submitting fake evidence in response to a report against you; one doctored screenshot in a report is enough.

Don't submit an appeal requesting your unconfirmed reports be removed. Appeals are only applicable once a tag has been issued, in the event an admin made a mistake.
