i didn't take screenshots of that. however, i might point out that if you check their name history, there is still one of my old names there.

also have these screenshots that i didn't make, that came from the person that left me -rep claiming i had scammed them, which are actually screenshots of the impersonator.

+this screenshot that i took of a video that person made, where you can see they had actually been talking to the impersonator.

and finally, they appear to be impersonating an account named paZTek, which i interacted with a few weeks ago because i received a steam friend invite from someone who was friends with them. at first, i thought they were friends with the impersonator and i discarded it. however i then realized it was a different account with a name paZTek and sent them both friend requests. paZTek accepted it (the other didn't) and told me the other account had been scammed for $20 and he was being impersonated. however, like the one that left me -rep, they were not speaking clear, intelligible english or telling me how the impersonator had found either of them. now, when i search steam for the username paZTek, i can only find this https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/profiles/76561198211870507, an alternate impersonation account that has also been using my username[i.imgur.com]. i didn't make a note of the url of the paZTek account i had spoken to previously so i have no idea if this is the same account. edit: found it, here's the paZTek i spoke to earlier (different account) https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/profiles/76561198066921433
