Someone on my friends list just informed me that this guy just changed all his info to match mine. You'll notice his level, badges, and game count are all wildly different than mine though. Just be on the alert if trading with this guy! I've already reported him to Steam, feel free to do the same.

IMPERSONATOR: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198155750735

ME: http://steamcommunity.com/id/captaindeadman/

UPDATE: The impersonator/scammer is now going by "PhantomTa2" from the UK. If you know this user, please alert them.

UPDATE #2: The real PhantomTa2 brought it to my attention that the scammer is now going by "LazenSlay". Please inform the real LazenSlay!

UPDATE #3: The scammer is now going by "Crazee" and has set his profile to private. Please alert the real Crazee if you know them!

UPDATE #4: The scammer is now going by "AlexRow", his profile is still private. Please alert the real AlexRow if you know them!

UPDATE #5 This scammer has again changed his identity; this time he's impersonating "Absorbed". Since his profile is still private, and with the frequency of how fast he is changing identities, I think the community is getting to him. Keep vigilant and inform the real Absorbed if possible!

UPDATE #6 Notified by fellow user American0utlaw: "He is going by the name NIXXI now. If anyone knows of this trader please inform him ASAP..."

UPDATE #7 Notified by American0utlaw again: "he is now going by the name " Garamond " If anyone knows this trader, please inform him ASAP.."

UPDATE #8 Notified by American0utlaw yet again: "He has now changed his name to " Furiseto " , If anyone knows of this trader, please inform them Asap..."

I know, right? He's that pathetic he's trying to impersonate a disabled schizophrenic? I really have a life that's better than his so he feels the need to pretend to be me??

That's just pathetic mate. Yesterday he tried to scam me and after I refused to give him my game first, he said that I'm poor "gypsy" from Poland that only can steal stuff. LMAO

Bump!! I now have 2 -Reps on my carefully-kept-clean account. Guy's a lame ass fuck-nugget

I had one too, but I just contacted the trader and proved it wasn't me who scammed them. A pain in the ass, but worth a try. I'm confused as to why Steam hasn't pulled the plug on this guy yet, he's gotta have at least 30 flags by now.

How is it that people STILL aren't using Enhanced Steam??? It gives a link to the CORRECT SteamGifts profile so they can see that they're trading with a scammer

He's now known as LazenSlay.

If anyone has the REAL Lazenslay on their list, could they please warn him?

How is this guy not Trade Banned by now. I personally have flagged his profile to Steam at least 10 times a day hoping they will finally do something. What does it take for Steam Support to get their s**t together. This guy is scamming the hell out of people and Steam does nothing. I really feel bad for the people he is scamming and something needs to be done ASAP.

This is exactly how I feel. Perhaps Steam doesn't put much thought into the trading community? I know for a fact this guy has a ton of flags from many separate users, so Valve's security team are either ignoring them or are incompetent.
