delete this comment - it's calling out and will get you suspended!!

also he doesn't have SG account so nothing you can do on SG side of things.

he doesn't have a steamgifts profile. and now really delete that link, before you get suspended for calling out. ^^

He is not registered here, so you cannot report him here.
You should delete the link to his profile though, I think it still is calling out even when the user isn't registered here (but I think it's fine to leave the link in your trade)

find his SG account (if he has one) - either using ID function (your account for example will be http://www.steamgifts.com/go/user/76561197991361144 ) or using link from Enhanced Steam. Then write a Support Ticket.

no problem - but really really delete this comment with link to his profile (click "delete" under the comment) - we're trying to help you, porbabbly none of us reported you yet because of that, but someone may see it and do report you - and then you wil get suspended, because whether you act in god faith or not - you're still breaking the rules.

Some person write to their profile something like " Beware of impersonators! The real me have over 2600 games, at least level 34, and Steam member for at least 8 years. Always check these before trading" or something like that.

While you should not link the fake profile here, you can freely put a warning about it into your Steam profile. Because the impersonator may try referring to your profile page as his.

Report,write warning on your profile and do custom url
Should work

Zgłaszasz go tutaj, na Steam i Steamrep i najlepiej napisać komentarz na jego profilu, być może go nie usunie ;) Jak już napisali oczywiście jakieś ostrzeżenie na twoim profilu i wystarczy czekać na skutki reportów :)

Na SteamRep robisz zgłoszenie na konkretne konto u nich na forum - linkujesz dowody potwierdzające -w tym przypadku link do jego profilu i pełne screeny. Teoretycznie weryfikują to ich moderatorzy i oznaczają scammerów / impersonatorów. W praktyce moderatorów jest tak mało względem ilości zgłoszeń, że na weryfikację czekasz miesiącami, więc zanim to zrobią koleś już skończy. ALE - każdy sprawdzający go na SteamRep może też zobaczyć otwarte niezweryfikowane topici na jego temat, więc zawsze jakieś dodatkowe zabezpieczenie. Plus jakby ktoś oszukany przez niego chciał ciebie na SR raportować to linkujesz ze to nie ty tylko impersonator o ktorym juz pisales.

Have you reported them on steamrep? However I'm unsure any of those suggestions will be of much help: if people checked your steam profile after visiting your SG profile, they would notice immediately the difference, but some simply don't. The see that same name and same avatar and think it must be the same person, without doing any checks.

Interesting, the imposter has a steamgifts profile link in his description and it isn't yours.

I've had the same problem for the longest time and I've tried everything possible to deal with the people impersonating me...
I've clicked the report button on their profile, opened a Steam support ticket (spoiler: they don't care), put warnings on my Steamtrade thread and my Steam profile. I've tried having a public profile and I've tried having a private one.
Nothing works... except for maybe one thing: Changing your avatar and putting a big clear warning message on it.
Since the impersonators send people straight to your Steamtrades rep page, the warning has to be visible on that actual page. People not familiar with trading just takes one look at that page and assumes it's legit otherwise. It sucks but it's the only way to effectively warn people at the moment.

There are ways to avoid impersonators or at the very least make it more difficult for them. Changing your avatar is not enough, as an impersonator can just use that too. I personally would never use a private profile as I trade constantly. IMO private profiles are a red flag because scammers use them too. I've made over 400 unique trades (in respect to amount of different people) on ST, and I've traded with less than a handful of private profiles.
The easiest is way to avoid impersonators is to make your profile entirely unique. One of the only ways to do this is to up your Steam level. Why? Because when you up your Steam level you get to add more crap to your profile. You can put up custom info boxes, reviews, screenshots, favorite group. All of this sort of stuff. It's impossible to fake all of it because you need to be at a certain level to have this stuff on there. Impersonators are looking for easy targets that they can create a quick profile to fake someone out with and are not going to waste time crafting badges to fake the profile perfectly. Yes, the most careless can still be faked even if you have a profile full of "bells and whistles", but frankly if someone is that careless then they were a mark just waiting to be scammed. It takes less than a minute to deduce whether someone's profile is legitimate.
In your trade threads, describe your profile as well. "I have this, this, and this on my profile. Ive been a member X years. I'm a level #. I own # of games." Its not foolproof, as there are always fools, but making your profile hard to fake to begin with will go a long way.

No, don't get me wrong... for someone who knows what they are doing, all of that works great.
The thing is that the scammers don't go after people like you or me though. They go after people who are new to trading.
Most or those people don't check the profiles all that carefully. The get sent a link to the straight to the legit accounts SteamTrades rep page, like this: http://www.steamgifts.com/user/Cim/feedback
They then look at that and compare it to the impersonators steam profile and it looks the same to them. They don't ever click off that page to check your trade threads or the profile link on there. The "genius" with this approach is of course that they don't have any real info about the impersonator either... all they have is your SteamTrades feedback link. So if anything happens, it'll end up with you getting -rep.
So having a "unique" profile might help with seasoned traders... but if you get targeted by one of these impersonators you'll still end up with people getting scammed in your name and you'll still end up with a bunch of -rep.
That's why I say changing your avatar, so that it's visible on the actual feedback page, is the most important thing you can do to avoid this.

I've got one too who scammed like 10+ people already and that earned me negative feedbacks :<
I've reported him as well us many other guys did, but you know, it's steam :S
Finally i changed my picture (thks to @ZerbaDerb suggestion) hoping to scare noobz so they'll think twice before accepting irrealistic trades :S
Afterall I dont mind going first from now on xD
