Hello guys, as several users warned me there is an impersonator trying to scam you using my name.

Here is his Steam profile and SteamRep.

My Steam Profile and SteamRep

I always have my profile public and open to comments. Always verify who you are dealing with and ask for his SteamTrade rep.

I've created a thread at SteamRep regarding the scammer. So everyone who is contacted by this impersonator you can leave more details there, thank you!

If you can, report him at Valve too by clicking Report Violation.


Edit 1: (10/02/2013 - 21:45 UK time)

Damn this idiot isn't going to give a break. I've lost count of how many people have claim to be contacted and unfortunately some were scammed. Thank you all for your help.

-Here's another thread from SteamRep regarding the scammer.

Edit 2: (11/02/2013 - 00:00 UK time)

Well, things escalated quickly. There is a PSA at Reddit /r/SteamGameSwap/.

Edit 3: (11/02/2013 - 14:00 UK time)

As it seems he stopped impersonating me. He has changed his name to U MAD BRO?. Don't let your guard down.

Edit 4: (11/02/2013 - 17:00 UK time)

He changed his profile back to CyberMarco. Damn that idiot!!!

Edit 5: (11/02/2013 - 19:00 UK time)

Now he is impersonating a user named weasl. Beware... More info here

Edit 6: (13/02/2013 - 17:00 UK time)

That son of a b*** is on a rampage. Now people claim that I was the one that scammed them with a fake profile, and I'm getting negative reputation...

Edit 7: (13/02/2013 - 21:00 UK time)

Finally he got banned. But unfortunately he can always create a new account and continue his journey. So, be vigilant!

Edit 8: (08/03/2013 - 20:45 UK time)

There is another scammer impersonating me and other trusted traders. He has created more than one fake account.

1) Steam profile SteamRep

2) Steam profile SteamRep

Edit 9: (20/03/2013) - 22:00 UK time)

As of tomorrow I'll be away from my PC for 10 days (until 01/04/2013) and wont be able to bump this thread, so I'm asking you to help me and bump this post so people will be warned. Thank you!

Edit 10: (02/04/2013) - 11:UK time)

Thank you guys for bumping this thread! :)

He also tried to offer me a paypal deal before i even saw this thread. Seeing his profile however convinced me right away he was a scammer before we even had the chance to discuss trading.(No games, just joined, no profile info etc etc)
When i called him out on it he told me
"I got many free games this way, You jelly?"

Luckily I never closed the chat window with the guy. Here's more proof for your case.

He just tried to scam me, but I looked from your rep page to see if it was the same Steam profile and it wasn't. I then declined the offer and reported him to Steam, but I'm sure he'll just make more Steam accounts.

In Steam, it's pretty common for people to use the same name.

He almost scammed me today. I was lucky because 1- I don't trust in the humanity LoL 2- I read a lot of comments in your page CyberMarco, about people telling exactly that (there's a guy trying to steal with your credentials.) And I just saw it, because your only negative reputation CyberMarco. (A guy put a negative rep in your profile just for the people read about the scammer who is using your credentials, so don't blame him for -rep you alright :D, his "plan" rly works.) Anyway thanks for the warning, I've got your back, brotha.

should have wasted his time deciding then come up with a skyrim key or fc3 key you just "happen" to have, then after a bit post a fake key, then continue to wast more of his time figuring out why it didn't work. the longer you play with him the less time he has to scam others ;)

Possible scammer? Just because he has maybe some scammer in his friendlist won't say us he IS a scammer. If you don't have any proofs leave the people alone. What are you? A little girl who lost his doll? Grow up!

They seem to be on the hunt again unfortunately and I was the start of this new rampage. I have reported them to Steam Support and reported the violation. They are changing their name after each successful scam this time though. I managed to get the Url http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198085688875/ They used your name again but they have changed it so many times that you can no longer see it. I have the amazon receipt for the key I lost. Can Steam Support remove the key with this information?

Sorry to hear you were a victim. I don't know if Valve can do anything more than just making his trade status banned. You can always try to contact them and give all your evidence, if you have a screen-shot of the chat log even better. Good luck!

1 decade ago

It's alright and you have nothing to be sorry for. I made a mistake and learned a lesson. I made a copy of the chat log before they took me off their friends list and sent it along with my report. Hopefully something more drastic is done to them. Surely they can ban the IP or something similar to that. I know they could just mess with the IP but at least they would have to use a bit more effort.

once again , im so tired of valves policies, they punish the innocent and let the guilty pretty much roam free, and their so called mods on spuf are total idiots and assholes to boot. we as honest paying innocent people need to finally stand up and tell valve we arent gonna take it anymore. they claim they cant handle the load on steam support , so thier answer is to make us suffer for that as well. not expand thier support staff. as long as us as paying customers sit back and just say oh well, valve and thier staff will continue as it is now, and probably6 get worse as time goes as it has been for the past year. sorry for the rant but i had to get it out somewhere , and cant so it on steam forums cause they dont believe in freedon of speech there.

Yeah, I know that feeling, Steam support doesn't have a call center or call support, not even live chat! Nice customer service... And regarding Steam forums,one false move and BAM banned!

1 decade ago

I know Steam support isn't that helpfull, but Steam states to not trade outside trading window actually. As of course they have no control over it. In fact, if I were to give you a key from a retail disc I have laying around, I might end up claiming your account, claiming it was taken over by others. Of course Steam support will look into whether that's plausible or not (no recent change in password, no change in mail address, still the same IP=no takeover). But it should be noted that Steam will not support trading keys, with good reasons actually.

Although they could me a bit more user friendly from time to time, I have to admit that.
