Type: Impersonation with intent to scam
Description
This guy added me looking to buy "all my unusuals". I sent him a trade request, he declined it. He then linked me "his backpack" which was filled with keys and knives. He asked which stuff I wanted, and when i told him he said "Ok but we need a steamrep admin". I guess he wanted a middleman or something. It was at about this time I checked his profile and realized he was impersonating the user he linked me. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and play along. He then strated to say he needed a way to check if an item was duped or not because he didn't want to get scammed or lose money (lol irony). I told him he could use backpack.tf to check if it was duped, but he insisted not to use it. He then linked me three users to add to act as a middleman. He said they were admins. I did not add them, I am not sure if they were in on the scam or not. It was at this point I absolutely knew it was a full on scam, so I called him out on it. He stopped replying to me, so I just gathered all these screenshots to file a report. Judgin by the guy whos been impersonated's profile, the accused here is a repeat offender and should not be allowed on steam. Who knows how many more people he will scam or has scammed.
[Now that I have checked the profiles he linked me, it seems that he linked legit steamrep admins.]
