A week ago, appeared global impersonator who is impersonating many Steamgifts users who have high numbers of positive repsand zero negative. He is taking their profile picture and fake there profile with one old trick - if user has in his/her nick small letter "L" he is making almost same url putting instead big letter "i" (he did that in 60% of cases). This guy doesn't have own Steamgifts profile, he just find "victim" and change his Steam profile (avatar, nick, custom url and description with url on "victim" inside it), his comments are locked (he seems very clever, you can't even comment on his screenshot or review, that's also locked), he has only one comment and that one he wrote for himself "I do not use Steam Profile reputation since it's useless. Only exchange rep in SteamTrades". He already caused few negative reps to innocent Steamgifts users (I already tried to clear some of them with talking with scammed people, for now only 1 negative rep is still damaging one of "victims"). Also, seems that this is not his first Steam account which he use for scamming. Apparently, he had another account which was trade banned one day before he started scam from this one. We, as community, need to unite with massive reports on Steam (because he don't have own Steamgifts account, but he does damage to Steamgifts users) so Steam can ban his second account, too. Please, bump this thread for sake of all Steamgifts traders - he destroy reputation of honest old traders and also scam naive new users.

i have faced this types of clever before but I got their trick and avoid these but still have got 2 negative by some scammer in my profile those tricked me and took my 10 keys and one guy took my 12 month Xbox Live membership for trade (he was over 100 + positive ) so I guess I trusted a good feedback but it was not my luck he scammed me.

I wonder, too. For now it's kinda "over", but probably it's only for now. I will now little rest from this guy. If somebody get some new information that SAME guy is impersonating and scamming from some other account (but please be at least 95% sure that is same one) you can post information here and I will update this thread with his "third account". If not, it's end with this one... ;)

Just saw this thread and I'm not sure why it is still open. I understand that your reasoning is that the user doesn't have a SteamGifts account but threads like this shouldn't be on the forum. If one is allowed, then more and more threads like this will follow and we can't have that.

Please don't repeat this and thank you for understanding.
