Recently I've been tracking down on Steam scammers, people claiming they work for Valve etc. Being the fake middleman. I'll be updating this page every time I find a new scammer. 

 

So far:

Impersonating Valve Employee - http://steamcommunity.com/id/76560798997296697

 

Impersonating Valve Employee - http://steamcommunity.com/id/tw0dig

 

Impersonating Valve Employee - http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198127250985

 

Impersonating Steam Member - http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198160450499 

 

If you're a trader on Steam be sure to look out for people like this. The biggest giveaway is the lack of the Valve employee badge. Whilst every real Valve employee has it on their profile primary page,  you can also check their badges to see if they have the badge at all. 

Another thing is they both have the same sort of bio as you can see. 

They will also probably provide false proof of validity, why would a real Valve employee need to do such a thing?

You will never ever have to verify items unless the trade doesn't fall under Steams guidelines.

 

Reporting these accounts will get noticed, they will eventually be locked.

If they aren't in the official valve group, but claim that they are a valve employee they are lying. Easy as that

It is pretty simple. The main reason I'm posting these is to get them noticed and hopefully banned.

If you are unsure if a profile is legit or not, then you can use https://steamrep.com

You really can't. A lot of profiles there are faked. If you click one of the profiles I linked, you'll see they have a steamrep account.
