    Description
    Reggae added me asking to buy my unusual, though I looked him up on SR as I normally do before trading unusuals and the like. I saw a report, from a friend oddly enough, that he attempted to use a friend impersonation scam, albeit he didn't get far into it. So, I decided to play along and see if I can gather solid evidence against him. He went right along as planned and he impersonated my good friend, 4pt.dlt, and tried to get me to trade the fedora to him.

    Also, in the chat screenshots, there are two message windows from two different '4pt.dlt's. The '4pt' with the private profile is the impersonator and the profile with actual content is my friend.

    @Sciger@Sciger Thanks for your report, and my apologies for the delay.

    I will mark this report Ready for Review.

    Next time, however, ensure that all screenshots are uncropped.
