Have you ever been impersonated?
Someone stole a Steam guide from me which took a lot of work. Don't know if you can call that impersonating but Steam support gave no fucks.

The neatest thing I've ever heard someone doing is messaging a few of the first people that left you +rep and having them change their message to warn about impersonators, so at least there's a chance they'll spot it when going to leave you negative feedback. Other than that, all you can really do is warn people to lookout for impersonators on your profile and at the top of your trade post.
I'm glad the guy was quickly able to understand what happened and didn't blame you for it. I tried to give him all the pointers I could to prevent that from happening to him again in the future.

Thanks for your help, if it wasn't for you and the other users that warned him I would't have realised something was going wrong until now. I rarelly check my own sg profile and the system doesn't give any kind of message when someone leaves negative rep aparently.

That would be handy feature. -reps are abused fairly often. It's almost a rite of passage for a veteran to get a negative for a silly reason from someone that they never even completed a trade with, just as it is with a low rep user to meet an impersonator. For me it was someone trying to get Mafia 2 from me back during the Humble 2K bundle, even though the person they impersonated had the game up for trade themselves.

So today I learned that I have an impersonator, what a weird experience. Especially when I've always considered me a "casual" trader and never a pro.
So since I didn't really knew how to react lets ¿celebrate? with an improvised train. The required levels were supposed to be in an incremental order but I f*cked up
PS: I reported the guy through their profile, but if you have any advice about what else I can do it'll be apreciated.
