please baned him from steamtrades
Just wanted to say I ALMOST (ALMOST!) got scammed by an idiot impersonating Konyo42 (http://steamcommunity.com/id/konyo182).
Let's resume his retardation:
-Level 1
-Private profile
-Asked me to go first
And yet, he used a link to the real Konyo steamtrade page and just like that, I was THAT close to paste the key I already copied before telling myself I was too fast, meaning I was falling in my old dumb naive ways. So I went to check Steam Reps and got my answer.
Dammit, I mean, I already wasted money because of a scam but it's been years anyway and that never happened on the Internet to me before. Would have been the first if it weren't for that brief but valuable insight. Feels good man.
And it was my first attempt at trading on this website too. I think I'll stick with my gold ol' forums. Nothing get traded but nobody get scammed too.
And now that I've started to read this thread a little, I realize (or better, I'm now sure) there are waaaaay too many as*holes on Steam.
Just tried to get scammed by someone impersonating Csa27 on here. The user added me purporting to be the correct user for a Steam Key to Steam Key trade. However, he linked to the original profile saying he had more rep than I did. When I asked why he didn't add me on that profile, he signed off/removed me as a friend.
Avoid this profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/csa27839/ at all costs.
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198127916332/
This person is trying to impersonate me I have reported him.
Please be careful my profile is never set to private and I have a 7 years service badge on my profile.
I just had this user attempt to scam me: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198127481566/
They are attempting to impersonate this user: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Piranha/ (this link doesn't seem to be pasting correctly, add an underscore before and after Piranha)
They even linked his steamtrades profile: www.steamtrades.com/user/Piranha2004
They also have two previous alias' they've used in just the past few days which match up to these two users:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/gabyfxec/
http://steamcommunity.com/id/indecendence/
Their profile is set to full private, even when added as a friend. When I called them out on the steamtrades profile not matching up to their account, they went away and then eventually logged off without responding. Here are screenshots of the chat:

http://s2.postimg.org/l4ufx70bs/fakeuser2.jpg
Yes, i was scammed by him. It was too bad as a new user i wasn't aware of this thread till i am hit by one myself.
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198127481566
I got scammed my copy of L.A. Noire while trying to negotiate to trade. Scammer used the alias 'Piranha2004' and has now changed to 'JonIrenicus'.
Note that his profile is set to private and his Steam Level is only 1.
I have a -rep on my profile from deadrevolver he was scammed by an impersonator 1 day ago. I posted on here 3 days ago about someone trying to impersonate me. Please remove this from my profile.
Hi.
The user named as konyo42 cheat me, i send him/her the key and he/she doesnt give me the keys we agree to trade. I think is a clone from other user called konyo42, cause he/she send me this profile, and im sure is not from the same user: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/konyo42
The user who scammed me is that, he/she has had the nick Csa27 too: http://steamcommunity.com/id/konyo2019/?errorMessage=inviteFailed
If u try to be a friend of him/her u will see that is not possible.
Scammer here
This guy left a negative comment on my profile even when he was the obvious scammer. Is it possible to remove the -rep from my profile?
Apparently he goes around scamming people with his non-existent BF4 premium. He refused to go first despite that and said my code was a duplicate, even when I bought it straight from Amazon here.
Avoid him at all costs.
I had another scammer: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/mblr1
This user wanted me to go first, and give him the game with a bunch of lies. When I blocked him, I reported him and gave him a -rep in his profile to warn people of what he does. Now he give me -rep for that. This is not fair, he has 8 negatives!!
Can the moderator, please, delete my negative? If I have to delete the neg that I gave him, I will do, but this situation is not fair.
Submit a support ticket through steamgifts if you want to have the unfair negatives removed. It will take a while though.
Provide proof also.
I would like to report an impersonator.
Guy uses nick Upwards but he's login is upwards1029 when the real Upwards use login Overthrown. Also, the impersonator's profile is set to private which brought my attention immediately. Here's screenshot http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e199/CzlowiekDrzewo/Beznbsptytu1420u_zps71c3c233.png
We got a new dumbass here, make room on your block lists:

Hello i have fake negatif feedback
i don't do business with him and he do this...
http://www.steamtrades.com/user/pytchoun
EDIT:
OK he delete it
My Steamtrades profile: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/johny69
The guy that left revenge feedback on my profile: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/SumXain
Reason: He tried to sell to me a key that was donated on the reddit steam game swaps page, although the guy who posted it removed the key because the moderator has reported the fraud http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamGameSwap/comments/20hds6/horigintitanfallcdkeyglobalwnothing/cg3dmqy
So after reporting him by leaving a negative feedback on his profile page he did the same on mine!
This is my screenshot that the moderator used: http://i.imgur.com/JehtXVR.jpg The user Neph on that screenshot is me.
Thank you for your time.

On impersonators
There has been quite the rise in impersonators around here lately and more and more people seem to fall for their scams. It has been suggested that there should be a post concerning the subject, in order to prevent users from getting scammed, however considering that ST is not actively moderated, we wouldn't be able to maintain such a topic currently. The warning about this subject is more on how to avoid or handle such scams.
Please make sure the ST profile being linked from the person adding you, actually belongs to them. Verify that their steam profile URL is the same as the one who added you to trade and obviously, please search for them on steamrep, don't ask them to link their profile/rep, just do it yourselves.
In the case of such a scam occuring, please report them to steamrep and SG support, by providing some proof of what happened and explaining any details (please attach screenshots of your chatlogs and their steam profile). Creating a thread on SG forums in not the way to go, as that will get you temporarily suspended for calling out. There have been incidents of the wrong person getting blamed for a scam and thus harassed for absolutely no reason.
On feedback
Misuse of feedback has been turning out to be quite an issue, not only with messing up trades but also with reports on support about its removal. I think that most users are not aware of how it should be used thus this thread will serve as a reminder and a warning on how it should be used, how it shouldn't be used and what will happen if it's not used accordingly.
Feedback should be used for :
Feedback should NOT be used for :
Common sense should apply in the above. The fact that I didn't mention a specific comment does not mean that it's acceptable. Misuse of feedback can get you suspended temporarily and if done repeatedly, suspension can get permanent. Revenge feedback, in particular, is especially tricky considering a lot of people want negative reputation removed from their profiles. If the people requesting the removal of negative rep from support have left such revenge negative feedback on the other user's profile, they can get temporarily suspended as well. Giving them revenge feedback does not make you any better than them.
Considering all the above, I would like to ask users here to remove any feedback they have left on other people's profiles that does not follow the guidelines above. Any investigation done on the removal of negative feedback from now on will take this thread into account and the fact that everyone should have read it and complied with it. No appeals will be handled for temporary misuse of feedback suspensions, considering you had the time to remove it yourselves.
Since lots of people ask :
Request for removal of fake feedback is done through SG support here
Please attach some kind of proof of what happened if the comment doesn't contain an explanation.
Thank you for reading and good luck in your trades!
Edit : Considering the "Gives fake feedback"-like comments as acceptable. Still under discussion but looks like it will be added.
