humfrey Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hello I've been having people imperonating me and scamming people of their items. Sorry if this is the wrong place make such a request but I was wondering if I could recieve a warning on my backpack profile that I've seen on others to help with this. Any other tips on combatting impersonators would be appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincentius Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Welcome to the club, I have been trying for the tag for some time even with 2 24/7 impersonators. https://backpack.tf/issue/616ff3f354490b69c97b2d63 But yea you are suppose to make a private issue regarding this from what I have been told, though they never seem to get responded to.

Strange Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 the time I tried to report someone for impersonating a known trading bot, they declined since they said having the same exact name isn't enough proof, even though it was obvious they were impersonating to try and scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make some space in your bp by selling some stuff / Cashing out The less valuable your bp will be, the less impersonated you'll be. There is no other way...

Either archive their profiles (by steamid, not custom id) using an archive site, show reports or negative ratings against you or your impersonators etc. We don't want these banners to be overused and lose its meaning. A couple of the current open issues about this never followed up with anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
