So I found a scammer. He added me earlier and since then hes changed his name, profile picture, and reworded his about section. I found both of the actual profiles of the guys hes impersonating. He changed his link to a different guys steamtrades rep and changed his name to that guys, and before it went to a different guys steamtrades. And in his about section he has this "Warning! Be careful, lately there have been many people impersonating me!" Yet he only has 5 games... His entire about section is all about making trades. Its clear hes a scammer, and I told him that and then blocked him. Now I'm worried that I'm going to be his next victim though, and if he links to my steamtrades I'll end up getting all of his bad rep... Advice?

Report the profile to Steam, SteamRep, and the SteamGifts network. Steam can trade ban the account. SteamRep can flag the account. SteamGifts can suspend the user from SG and ST.

The only proof I would have is the profile of the guy hes currently impersonating. I couldn't prove that hes trying to scam people, even though its obvious.

Yes. That's probably enough for reports, since it should be obvious that the profile is newer, not the same user, and is intended for use in deceptive activity.

Thanks for the info. I reported him on Steam and SteamRep so far. It looks like hes been reported on steamrep a few times already, but it says the reports were improperly formatted. I made sure to format mine correctly, so lets hope it goes well.
