THIS GUY IS LEGIT, BUT SOMEONE IS CONSTANTLY IMPERSONATING HIM - READ BELOW

A scammer(Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:166359277) is impersonating a lot of different legit traders by changing Steam profile URL, username and profile picture, while also usually linking to the legit trader's Steamgifts page. This Steamgifts page I'm commenting on is legit, but be careful to check the Steam URL of the guy you're talking to if it's correct BEFORE trading, especially the L and i's, so you know you're not talking to the impersonator, but the real good trader.

Currently the ones I know he's impersonating are:
Gelweo
FilthySouls
Geosmin
Wargharbl

Fake Wargharbl's friends as of this post: http://prntscr.com/ansyqg
Fake Gelweo's friends the day he tried to scam me: http://prnt.sc/akwf79

Here's the conversation with him, in which I didn't want to go first: https://www.dropbox.com/s/91qv9w7e5chzi55/potential_scam%2C_gelweo.txt?dl=0
Here's the conversation of a guy that added me while I was talking to him and refused to trade. This guy got scammed:: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycwofdtoxtomdvh/potential_scam%2C_gelweo%2C_with_notnotjustin_that_got_scammed.txt?dl=0

The real Gelweo's Steamrep page got(or had) 4-5 negative feedback from people that got scammed into thinking it was the real Gelweo they were talking to.
Here's a link to that Steamgifts profile: http://www.steamgifts.com/user/Gelweo/feedback
The same goes for this account, which the scammer is also impersonating.

I've contacted some of the people that have been on the scammer's friends list for more than a few days. 6 out of 6 didn't know why he was on their friends list. They think, they may have traded with him at some point, but they didn't know who "Gelweo" was. This is probably due to trading with any of the impersonations, before the guy switched to Gelweo..

I have to keep this feedback as negative as a warning, but Gelweo is a good trader.

Check out his steam profile when talking with him in steam, because there is an impostor whose steam profile is usually "FeltHat" and changes his user name and profile image to Gelweo's to take advantage of his actuall and truly good reputation. So the person you may be talking with could not really be Gelweo and steal your trade.
