Guilty of: Not paying during a cash trade
Evidence: Middleman chat | PM from victim
Note: This user has the opportunity to return the items in question and have his tag reduced to CAUTION.

Update 9/17/2012
I reached out to this user to offer an ultimatum. He had the opportunity to either send the payment or return the items. Instead, he chose to unfriend me and remove my comment explaining the situation from his Steam profile. He no longer has the opportunity to have his tag removed.

UPDATE 10/21/2012
In the Skial Steam group chat today, this user joined and was trying to get people to make high-value trades with him (looking for buds/unusuals). He then made the claim that 76561197997252702 is an alternate account of his.

I've confirmed with DataStorm that these are not alts, and the reported scammer is trying to impersonate a high-profile trader.

EVIDENCE: Steam chat 1 | Steam chat 2 | Steam chat 3

Guilty of: Phishing attacks
Evidence: Steam chat | Phishing site with non-Steam URL
Note: This account has likely been hijacked. The owner of this account can have this tag removed by contacting Steam Support to recover his account, and then posting here to prove that he has regained ownership of his account. Until this happens, it is unsafe to trade with this account, or to click any links sent in chat from this account.

Guilty of: Fake rep
Evidence: Steam profile comments with known scammers
Alts: 76561198062235992 | As of 9/17/2012: 76561198052296110 | 76561198069179622

Update 9/17/2012

This one goes a bit deeper than once thought. The alt listed above also left the exact same rep on known scammer 76561198052296110, who is currently using the name oC//HeartSh0ck. Currently, 76561198069179622, a friend of 76561198052296110, is using the exact same avatar. 76561198069179622, however, is using the name IMM » BraveHeart. In the evidence shown above, "BraveHeart" is the same name that was used for the scammer that had the fake rep posted. 76561198052296110 is currently on 76561198010668187's friend list, as is 76561198069179622.

This may seem a bit confusing, but this update is in light to 76561198010668187 (person reported in this post) attempting to appeal his SKIAL SCAMMER tag. Once I looked at the profile and alt account, it became apparent to me that this went far deeper than originally suspected. All of these accounts are linked to suspected fake rep schemes or are alts of each other.

This is still being investigated. Until further notice, none of the accounts mentioned in this post are safe to trade with.
