RouzenZaker Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If you use bp.tf, it's strange that you don't know how to check clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's an impersonator account, your fault for not double checking who you're trading with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you no longer have the chat window, you can verify the identify of this user with your chat logs. You can view your message logs @ https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog Go to your chat with this user and click their name. This will take you directly to their steam profile page. You should be able to tell if it's an impersonator (check inventory) but if you're having difficulty with that, copy their profile page's URL and plug it into steamrep.com and retrieve their ID64. You can paste that directly into backpack.tf's search bar (sometimes vanity URLs work too, this is just more reliable) and verify the user's identity. Either way, this was an attempted scam, so assuming you'll follow up and provide the right evidence, you should make a report in backpack.tf's issue tracker so the account can be reviewed. I would recommend you report the account after you've verified their identity though. A report is essentially an accusation, and not one to be taken lightly, so proceed accordingly. Aside from the extra work for the mod team, no one likes being falsely accused of fraud. An incorrect report lets the scammer run around unmarked for longer. If you're still having trouble with this, you can reply here and I'll help you as best I can (for clarity I'm NOT staff here, just a guy who likes TF2), or you can message a member of the report team and I'm sure they can help you as well. Good luck! JayTuut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
