You need to add links to the images, not the imgur pages, for them to show up in your thread

There's over 600 members that have the same name as me.. yikes. That'll take a while to look through.
Glad you keep bringing posts like these up, maybe it could help lessen the amount of threads that say they got scammed if a new trader stumbles upon these.

All profiles have links to SteamRep, SteamGifts etc with the 64 UID, not any link the user gives.
Like so: http://puu.sh/p2oGb/cd6437522b.jpg

Maybe link to http://www.enhancedsteam.com/ instead of my pic, that's much more useful for others :)

If your thread has been closed by a moderator, you should not open a new almost identical one
Steamrep is the right site for those reports and you already reported this impersonator.
If an user doesn't double check the profile or steamrep, most likely he doesn't read the forum too.

People! I made another thread not with the purpose of reporting him or making a thread in SteamRep, a site of user reputation (we already reported him yesterday a ton of times via Steam and I personally reported him on RP). I made another thread to spread awareness about users like this. If you are a user from SteamGifts, please, from now and then, check your name on the Steam community if there's any impersonator. Impersonators can and will scam people because they take no fault, rather than a -rep, but not even on his personal page...it can be your steamgifts page, because this kind of people search for medium or high amounts of rep in users, change his custom URL and username, copy your photo onto their accounts and done. They're now browsing through steamgifts on the trading section, ready to find another victim, showing "his" high amounts of rep+ to people which he added without commenting on their steamgifts thread (for the obvious reason that he doesn't have that account) and making people lose a lot of money. In sight of a impersonator, please report him to Steam for impersonating going to the impersonator account, clicking on "More" and then selecting the option "Inform an infraction". If you have the time, make a thread on SteamRep, because there's people that look into it and it can prevent more people getting this disgusting feeling of helplessness and emptyness because other people were scammed with his username.
Here's another victim, clownwolf. Here his SteamRep page shows that clownwolf doesn't even have a custom URL, a thing that makes it easier to a impersonator to do his thing.

As you can see, clownwolf is in good standing. Here our impersonator, isn't. As you can see, tried its best to look legit:

Impersonator prevention
That's why I'm asking you, if you care about our community, (or if you are individualist, about yourself) please, search for impersonators, like this:
Steam community search
Impersonator prevention for collectors/steam levelers
I know it's ugly. I know we shouldn't do this kind of shit, why? We're free. But oh well, this impersonating crap is happening, so, a good way to deceive them is by changing our avatar (if you like, with your current avatar as a background, so it doesn't seem that ugly) with a warning sign expresing your stats. For example mine: "Warning: A scammer is impersonating me. If the profile is below level 23 & has less than 2000 games, it's not me!". That way, if they try to link your steamgifts feedback page, that huge avatar on the page will show up, and alert users. And you'll prevent a rain of -reps.
Example of this method
Scammer prevention
Best way to prevent scammers guys, Enhanced Steam. It'll show you the SteamRep of the user. (Thanks Mike90 and Starwhite for letting me know)

Suggested by Nerney, we TOTALLY need this heads up on Steamgifts:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/SWgrS/suggestion-can-we-add-a-scammer-imposter-warning-to-all-user-profiles
We're a community, we have to take care of eachother. Even if we fuck up, and you might don't care because it's not you...remember, we're human and as such, we make mistakes. So why don't you make some time for it and start helping others? Because one day, it could be you.
