Thanks to Blast! for the info, and I'm sorry for the scam
After reading this: Scammer and 2 comments above. Did a little research and found that user newhistory2 and his friends are using several profiles to scam, by impersonating other users and increasing his rep with the fake profiles. Most of profiles are from Canada and some from France, but they are from Argentina, at least all of them speak spanish.
These are the profiles flagged as scammers that have positive rep between each other:

List of friends that also scam and give positive rep to each other
List of friends that give positive just to increase rep of fake profiles:
A user came to the same conclusion a year ago here.
So, it´s a whole year of scamming people over and over, there has to be something else we can do.
just noticed this, and Yea, i have a lot of impersonators as of lately. Below i have a list of threads and steamrep reports of such. Found 2 of their steamtrades profiles and gave them negative rep as well

Fenetic. asked me for trade with a very nice trade, i was wow! he showed me the rep of the real Fenetic Steam User, i have less rep so i had to go first, after i went first he said wait a moment and never came back...
PLEASE: Always check the name if it has a dot after the name and compare with the steam profile and steamtrades.com profile, check if the user is online in steam while you are talking with the trader, and check if the button add as friend is active...
I guess this is a "bridge account" to send the stolen games to another accounts with high steam levels.
Well take care...
Hi, this guy rep me negative and never talk with him, and never never offered any game gift or key in this page; I think he maybe traded with my impersonator ( http://steamcommunity.com/id/pmonkeyss/ ).

Quote from this thread:
"Feedback should NOT be used for :
Random comments, unrelated to a trade.
Comments such as "rude", "lowballer", "regifter" and so on. This is trade and not attitude related feedback.
Fake positive feedback for boosting your reputation count.
Revenge reputation (such as giving negative rep to someone just because they gave you false negative rep)."
What he did is agains't the rules and I'd like to have a clean profile as I had with another 170+ trades, consider removing his negative rep please.
someone tried to scam a guy, who after said it to me. The scammer tried to use my reps from here to scam, and stolen my profile pic and name on steam (now i changed a little my name on steam profile, but here its the same, its very annoying...)

This guy just tried to scam me, very poorly. He's already steam trade banned and he has no profile/rep whatsoever. Tried to talk me into going first with a key. When I called him out for trying to force the trade, politely explaining that people without a steamtrades profile go first in a key trade, he used profanity and racist language towards me. I reported him to Steam for user misconduct. Watch out for this guy.
Always try to give all the info you can gather or at least the SteamID64.

Scam Reports: (Listed by stolen games)
Users is asking for feedback on card trades. Not sure if this is allowed or not though I have been informed in feedback fraud. They asked me to rep on a card trade some time ago and I've seen he has received recent feedback from card trade after having a discussion with them in a trading group.
http://www.steamtrades.com/user/LoveSlave/page/1
http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/LrJf4/trading-card-post-h-100-cards-w-other-cards-11-trades
Not really, a person can have hundreds of successful card trades with feedback but that does not make them a trustworthy trader. I spoken about this in several trade groups and many people agree that it does not show trust to see through a trade.
Scammer. He don't have steamtrades profile but 54 positive comments on his profile so be very careful. He never wants to go first and he'll try to scam you for high priced games. I've reported him. He tried to scam my friend to. He is lurking on steamtrades looking for offers and newcommers. Also he has 3 scammers in his friend list. He don't use keys he get but he pass them to others or his other account. He has Call of Duty: Ghosts as gift in inventory and bunch of other games such as Dead Island Riptide, Modern Warfare 3, Chivalry. For your safety block him.
Often use this name (Mister Baubas
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198078444563
What's the policy on giving negative rep to someone who backs out of a deal after you buy your part? My fellow "trader" backed out of a deal in the interval of 1 minute while I was buying the gift from the store.
Just wondering about post trolls. I had a post selling and item at a certain price, and dude posts that he sells it for way less, undercutting me in my own thread. I have since closed the thread and gave negative rep for that. I normally dont mind people ASKING if they can sell or hell, just get your own users and do your own work!
This guy tried to scam me, he said than he had "send" the money and he never did, and he had the guts to point me a negative in my profile.

Yeah thanks for that.
I don't think I'd normally have that issue, never happened before. Normally I'd have caught the ID but wasn't thinking while on the phone so I kinda deserve it.
Hey one guy scamed 2 ppl in 30 mins.. we gived him negative and he gived same to us.. lol .We reported him to steam support but some support here should ban him.. His profile: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/Milzaa
and screen: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/y2swq.jpg
He deleted me from friends, maked his profile private and changed name/avatar..
He did same thing to: http://www.steamtrades.com/user/Under95
I found a new scammer :((( name was Castiel and after it changed to Sacred now his profile is not publick, BEWARE check evry time aliases i forgot :(
Sorry, bro. Can you provide more info? Profile link, SteamID64, screenshots, whatever you have, please. And of course can you tell exactly what happend.
yeh. thats that same guy whos scammed me and other guy..
http://www.steamtrades.com/user/Milzaa
and he gived u negative ofc..
Report him on steam, for now he have minimum 2 reports, maybe he get ban or something.. They will scamm more ppl..
Not sure what these guys did, but having a private profile and changing usernames constantly is never a good sign. Also having three guys claiming they are scammers, doesn't help either.

In general the mail should come from @paypal.com or @somename.paypal.com (mind the dot in front of paypal) If its NOT a dot or @ in front of paypal, its not paypal's domain, and therefore not from paypal."
Got scammed by this one too... block the guy and see if he gets banned or try to get him pregnant :)
That scammer used my name to scam kapeta. We both reported him to steam and steam support. Hope he gets what he deserves.
He failed to scam me two times. He just changed nick name and tried to add me again :-D But as I have experience with Valve support it will take ages before if they will do something with him...
3 days ago i reported a scammer and yesterday valve gave him trade ban on both his accounts. I hope they take the same action for this scammer quickly.

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.
