Hi, because people can find scammers more frequently, whose change their steam profile, avatar, name, description to impersonate other people and trying to fool them and getting game keys with these info, I'd like to suggest that here on the Steamgifts side every person should have an opportunity to write a note to the top of their feedback on their own profile.

For example:
If you don't came from this steam profile, please report the profile that you came from because you were probably scammed.

Maybe a flag of impersonator, like i don't know which extension that i use that flagged this profile like a Scammer (FoG SCAMMER), but if you want to avoid, maybe one flag in your own profile of reputation page that you have a impersonator.

Why? Well, a lot of users use this forum to trade like me and scammers are using our reputation to deal with the people, so i think that SG can make something to help these hopeless people too o/

Your extension shows data from Steamrep. Potential victims will see that just as little as they would see a warning against impersonators on the real trader's profile.

Also, you will only see such a mark on a user's profile once they have been reported and the report has been accepted on Steamrep or an affiliated community. Impersonation while using someone's feedback is a bannable offense in that context. I urge you all to please report such users. You can do so:

Someone could make a userscript for this I believe.

The goal is to protect the less sophisticated users. Scammers are sometimes even targetting people outside of SG, so a userscript would not help.

True - it was a statement more than a suggestion.

It is a better idea as mine.
