Fake Bone Head's Profile
How it looked before
Real Bone Head's profile
Please place special attention to the badges, and the SteamURL.
Description: After assisting a very timid BlackRabbit with a transaction, I was in the middle of another one when he approached, asking if I could help him with another. However, upon checking his trader's profile, a few red flags came up, including some that I can't discuss with him. However, the trade never went through, I made it clear that I wanted to talk to this 'bone head', and he instead, removed the trader from his profile, and changed both profile name, and custom URL.
It should be noted, that the imposter is currently taking advantage of the customURL in order to make it appear that he has none, instead, the long generic SteamID64 version. This is also related, no loss took place.
