Faker's Profile






Real Diablo's Profile





Description: The Victim contacted me after he was approached by the Scammer, he wanted to buy his unusual, and claimed he had the reputation and history to prove his sulfur, and requested the victim go first. However, the victim wanted a Middleman, the scammer refused, kept nudging on going alone, that's when the victim noticed that the SteamRep URL link the scammer provided was not really his, if you take a close look, the CustomURL has been modified.

I went ahead and investigated the incident, and discovered that he's not only been impersonating this user for quite sometime, he went to extreme lengths to photocopy the real Diablo, right down to the Reputation. Tag for Scammer if possible. During this investigation, I found out more cases of impersonation, which I'll be reporting individually, as they are not linked to this profile, but are separate impersonation cases. (That and I have no evidence to link them to this profile, other than the fake reputation.)

MoThЕяLaИd™: eh, i never made one lol. you would think that i would have since i'd done over 3000 dollars worth of paypal trades. we could use a middleman
MoThЕяLaИd™: i have lots of steamrep middleman who could vouch for my integrity
[ o/ ] DiabLo: Well there is 2 possible we can do, without a middleman, i guess. You go first, as you have lesser rep, i go first if you let me record the trade from your perspective

I always have like, a detective feel when I read these, with the racy intro and main song from Metal Gear Solid playing, and determining if there's anything missing, and then I just say, "Fuck it, Faron or Xel can do this shit."
And they do.
Go you, guys.

Edit:

Can we get a plugin that puts this at the beginning of every scam report? For the people going through the reports.
