No one knows or see the impersonator. So who cares. I know 3 impersonators of me, do you know them? No!.
I'm asking people to report him on steam, steamtrades, and twitch,
For what? He is free to use every name he want. You just need to search for Gabe Newell on steam.

I obviously can't post his profile here. I'm just asking for people:
1) To be careful if they see a profile similar to mine trying to trade with them.
2) To tell me what else can I do to stop him.
I'm just afraid that he may manage to scam someone by impersonating me, that's all. I'll feel bad if that happens.

He already tried to scam someone, that's why. -_-

A level 114 impersonator... never saw one.(not with a high level) Post him on my comments please.
Comment has been collapsed.
He doesn't have a high level. He's only level 5. He only copied my steam name, my photo, my real name, and my country. He also made 2 twitch accounts similar to mine.
If you go to my profile and check my blacklist, you'll see someone named Lucky Shot there and his steam profile link next to his name (he's the number 2 in my blacklist).

Easy to say that, but people fall for impersonation scams all the time. :/

Still makes me feel bad. Dunno why. I just hate scammers so much! And there's no site to report them effectively.

I didn't get scammed. He impersonated me and tried to scam someone else. I already reported him on steamrep, but it got rejected because my proof was insufficient. -_-

Naja, gibt viele denen langweilig ist. Meistens sind es aber einfach nur irgendwelche Hater. Vor allem im Forum sieht man meistens ja nur den Namen und Avatar und erst wenn man auf den Namen klickt sieht man das es ein Faker ist.

I'm not sure what you mean. You mean my photo? If that's what you mean, it's Al Bundy from Married with Children.

I think he mean your name, Lucky Shot.
Something like
Lucky = because you smoke Lucky Strike ^^
and
Shot = because you drinking only shots.
Or just Lucky Shot because you are a noob in cs go and have no skill :)

A-exactly! I only manage to hit people because of my lucky shots. ^_^
Or it's just that I'm lucky in everything.

have a friend give you a negative and write something like "click the profile link at the top and compare profiles with the guy your talking to. just look at the game count this guy is pushing 2k! to many imposters around so take care ;)"
like what i did https://www.steamtrades.com/user/76561198031582331/search?rating=negative

Give me a negative?! :O Nooo, I won't destroy my reputation myself. xD I only have 91 +rep, so 1 -rep would look bad.

Tell them to impersonate me next time, I feel so left out nobody tries to emulate my sparkling personality and welcoming attitude.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ehm, I'm pretty sure that many people would love to impersonate you, but would you really like that? :3 I would impersonate you anytime. ^_^

I grant you permission to impersonate me all you want, just tell me if someone actually falls for it :P

People get scammed by impersonators all the time, sadly. :/

People fall for Nigerian princes all the time too, maybe I could impersonate one on Steam, the Arab princes are bit above my level still.
Obviously I would trust you to do it for educational, not malicious purposes. Acting as a warning for the people who fall for it. :)

Impersonating on twitch? Is that even possible?
Send them a mail, contrary to lazy valve, they actually take action.
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed they do. They had impersonated me on twitch in the past too and they locked his account after a bunch of reports. I didn't send an e-mail, just clicked the report button.
Dunno why people love to impersonate others on twitch.
Comment has been collapsed.
But how does that work? Do they steal your videos?
just clicked the report button.
direct contact will be faster
Comment has been collapsed.
No, they just pretend to be me for multiple reasons.
Direct contact sounds cool, but how? Can you please enlighten me?
By the way, I just stopped being able to find one of his twitch accounts. This probably means he changed the name, right? :/
Comment has been collapsed.
but how?
Never used but surely they have a contact/support page.
means he changed name
that or banned
pretend to be me
what does that do on twitch though, can't trade/scam there, or?
Comment has been collapsed.
He was sending messages and using the chat and pretending to be me. I was in the same stream when he sent his trade offer link to a streamer, pretending to be me.
Let's hope that one of his accounts got banned already. :D

are you well known there so that would give an advantage?
Comment has been collapsed.
I was supposed to trade with someone there. He sent me some cs:go skins. :3
I can't find how to contact them directly. :/

obviously he is the real one and you want to bury his chance to take the name
Comment has been collapsed.
To be honest, you don't need to worry about him at all. People do often check steamrep, and related profile via enhanced steam and only those that are not careful enough falls for this sort of scam. If you are worried much at all, you can put his profile and a warning sign on your own steam profile , as well as your trade threads so people that are reading them gets notified about the situation etc.

Hello. Just as a warning, someone is impersonating me on twitch and steam. Thing is, what the hell shall I do? Steamrep won't accept my report. I'm asking people to report him on steam, steamtrades, and twitch, but I'm wondering if there is something else I can do. Is there any specific place where I can report him? :/ I made this thread mostly as a warning, so that people won't get scammed by him.
