20:13 - DeathSquared: well it costs 2 keys

20:13 - DeathSquared: and you can make alot with it

20:14 - DeathSquared: but its for a couple of people

20:14 - DeathSquared: otherwise it doesnt work that well

20:14 - A. Blade: I'm not interested in any of this business. Why do you think you have the right to take peoples possesions?

20:14 - DeathSquared: i dont take them

20:14 - DeathSquared: i get them from them

20:15 - DeathSquared: they give me their things

20:15 - A. Blade: By false means, how old are you?

20:15 - DeathSquared: i dont steal or hack or crack or break into something

20:15 - DeathSquared: does that matter?

20:15 - A. Blade: You lie, that's not any better

20:15 - DeathSquared: i dont say its better

20:15 - DeathSquared: Why do you think you have the right to take peoples possesions?

20:15 - DeathSquared: you say that i take their possessions

20:16 - DeathSquared: and that i think that i have the right to do that

20:16 - A. Blade: Because I give something in return that they want.

20:16 - DeathSquared: no i dont and no i dont

20:16 - DeathSquared: yeah but that is the risk

20:16 - DeathSquared: its your choice to verify me

20:16 - DeathSquared: and if you dont, its your fault

20:16 - DeathSquared: not mine

20:16 - A. Blade: For the trade?

20:16 - DeathSquared: what do you mean?

20:16 - A. Blade: verify you for what?

20:17 - DeathSquared: verify if im real

20:17 - A. Blade: If I don't verify you, it's my fault?

20:17 - DeathSquared: yes

20:17 - A. Blade: Uncanny.

20:17 - DeathSquared: exactly

20:17 - A. Blade: Please get out of my face now

20:18 - DeathSquared: lol

20:18 - DeathSquared: okay

20:18 - DeathSquared: bye!

20:18 - A. Blade: Bye! BTW, gonna share this interesting talk on the fora!

20:18 - DeathSquared: go ahead ;)

20:18 - A. Blade: No problem, you're either the best or worst scammer ever

20:19 - DeathSquared: hehe

20:19 - DeathSquared: thanks!

20:19 - A. Blade: Die in hell! I get really mad because of people like you!

20:19 - DeathSquared is now Offline.

I think I get it. Wazaaguy linked towards a chat log in which the scammer uses a fake name, and links towards someone else's identity. So that means he's not pointing a finger at DeathSquared, as DeathSquared was just the person the scammer impersonated.

Am I right ? If so, no rule is broken here.

You didn't...?

And I don't get it, I checked his steamrep and steamtrades rep, why do you assume he's a scammer ?

Or was he impersonating the "real" DeathSquared ? If so, you can ignore what I said as there was no link towards the scammer's identity.

It was an impersonator of the real Deathsquared. He had a private profile, and linked me to his "high rep steamtrades page". I clicked the profile link, and guess what, "add friend", although I was talking through chat.

assuming he's impersonating a real trader definitely yes, or else you're giving the real trader a bad rep since most people clearly have a hard time reading everything, they just see that name and "scammer".
-edit- Or at least make it real clear that it's an impersonator, I've been in this situation before and it's really frustrating to constantly having to explain that a certain post doesn't refer to me but any of my impersonators.

This is the scammer's link: http://steamcommunity.com/id/_DeathSquared, this is the real person: http://steamcommunity.com/id/DeathSquared. The impersonater, link one, gave me a steamtrades profile link of the real person.

I know what you're referring to, but as a person that's being impersonated by at least 3 different accounts I can guarantee you that 9 out of 10 people skimming through this thread will only remember Deathsquared & scammer, although you and I and most other commenting in this thread know it's an impersonator people who aren't all to familiar with trading cannot know that since you never explicitly mention that this guy is an impersonator, all they see is the thread title and your chat.

Just censor the names and say it was an impersonator whose fake identity shall remain anonymous.

Sure thing. I'll close this thread and re-open it without name to wash it all away.
