E-Arkham Impersonator

[EArkham]

Okay, so this is weird. Apparently I have an impersonator.

This is the impersonator: http://steamcommunity.com/id/eiarkham/

[Edit] Hah! He's already changed it: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198283033238

This is me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/earkham/

I dunno what this person is hoping to accomplish, but I do have a pretty big haunted ghosts & isotope collection, so it's likely they're looking to scam.

Thought I'd mention it here in case the impersonator decides to target tf2maps members. If they don't have selfmades on their profile and less than 9 years on steam, just ignore them.

As always, you can PM me here if you need to add me for some reason (like using props I made in your map or something).

EDIT - The impersonator has been banned on trusted sites such as Steamrep: https://steamrep.com/search?q=http://steamcommunity.com/id/eiarkham/
and has been given negative Trust reviews on sites such as Backpack.tf:
https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198283033238
DO NOT trade with him at any cost!

I remember someone trying to impersonate me around the time I joined TF2Maps in order to try and scam a friend of mine, luckily they were experienced in trading and were able to call him out.
These people, especially the impersonators, really are sad creatures. It's always best to be legitamate and work your way up, rather than feast on the innocent.

If you are ever visited by a possible scammer, always check their profiles on these places:
Steamrep - ALWAYS check here! The largest anti-fraud website for TF2; If the scammer has been practicing their craft for long enough, they likely have been banned on this site and marked as a "Scammer". If the person is marked here, do NOT (under any circumstance) trade with them!
Backpack.tf - a large trading website that displays the reputation/trust of a trader on their profile. Put the URL of the scammer's profile in the search bar, and see the results.

Steam has the option to report impersonators. Would it do a thing if we all report him for that?

Dunno, I already reported him to Steam, and presumably the person who reported him to SteamRep also reported him to Steam, so...

On suggestion of someone on backpack.tf, I've also changed my name to "E-Arkham [Not Trading]" so hopefully that helps.

You must be very famous to have such a fan. Looks like he changed his direct url to something else.

I think he's just going down the backpack.tf list of "most expensive backpacks." The next guy he's impersonated is a few ranks below me.

He just wanted me for my backpack, not my mapping skills. I'm so hurt!

I don't think he's really good at this

Not to mention the fact that the latest capture of his inventory shows that it's worth $10 at most
