Accepted 76561198005339626 (Enigma)

For clarity, while I was talking with this person, their display name was "Leukine". Immediately after I had sent my goods, they changed their name to "Enigma" and removed me from their friend's list.

I put my hat up for offers on tf2outpost.com (http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/7788167). Less than 10 minutes later, I was contacted directly on steam by this person.

I believe my Steam Support ticket has all the information necessary here, so I'll just paste that here:

Hat info:
Name: Unusual Otolaryngologist's Mirror
Effect: Searing Plasma
Current ID: 1386183734
Original ID: 947914482

Immediately after I traded my hat to him, he changed his display name to "Enigma" and went offline/removed me. No money was sent to my paypal account. Here were the details of the trade:

- I was to trade him my Searing Plasma Unusual Otolaryngologist's mirror
- He was to send $200 USD to my paypal account at [email protected]

This was the agreed trade. Attached are images of his profile, apparent reputation, our chat log, and some additional miscellaneous images to back up my claim.

Chat Transcript:
Leukine: hi there
DaManWitDaPlan: hey
DaManWitDaPlan: watcha trading
Leukine: Would you take $175 paypal for your mirror unusual?
Leukine: I got a bunch of paypal giftcards for christmas
DaManWitDaPlan: wow, that's a good offer. I'll definitely think about that... Could I maybe message you tomorrow if nothing better shows up?
Leukine: Ok! and just so nobody outbids me i'll say $200, I got two $100 giftcards from relatives. Let me know
DaManWitDaPlan: i need to get a paypal set up lol
Leukine: haha ya, it's super easy
DaManWitDaPlan: alright, thanks for the offer
Leukine: just need an email
DaManWitDaPlan: wait hold up
Leukine: np
Leukine: ?
DaManWitDaPlan: Just to confirm lol
DaManWitDaPlan: Would you go first? because I'm a little wary about trading with money lol
Leukine: well generally whoever has less rep goes first, i'm happy to go first if you have some rep pages
Leukine: i have a whole bunch on steam
DaManWitDaPlan: with something so, you know, high value, I could give you my personal phone number or something xD just to make sure there's no business
DaManWitDaPlan: yeah I have 0 rep
DaManWitDaPlan: xD
DaManWitDaPlan: sorry I'll check your rep
DaManWitDaPlan: and I guess its fine.
Leukine: oh haha
DaManWitDaPlan: Again, thanks for the offer, I'll keep you on here and let you know either tonight or tomorrow
Leukine: ok sounds good man! no huge hurry unless a new game comes out and I blow some of the money haha
DaManWitDaPlan:
Leukine: but I won't do that
Leukine: lol
DaManWitDaPlan: Okay, yeah on current market prices, your offer is more than reasonable, and you seem to have a nice amount of rep. I'll take your offer
DaManWitDaPlan: I think I've set up paypal correctly.
Leukine: Alright, so how are we gonna do this? I have alot of rep so if you're willing I would just need your email, i'll have the money ready to send and after we do the trade i'll give it to ya
DaManWitDaPlan: ok. To be honest I'd feel more comfortable if you sent 100, then we trade, then you send the last 100. Although I get it if you're worried about rep. I would be too lol
DaManWitDaPlan: I'm more concerned about whether or not my paypal is working at the moment though xD
Leukine: Thing is I've been scammed before so the whole point of trying to get all this rep was so I don't have to be the one to go first
Leukine: hmm...
DaManWitDaPlan: Yeah whatever though, that works.
DaManWitDaPlan: lol
DaManWitDaPlan:
Leukine has accepted your request to trade.
DaManWitDaPlan: I suppose if anything were to happen, neither one of us would be happy about our steam accounte being compromised lol
Leukine: ya not exactly... I keep all my pages open to comments so that wouldn't exactly be great
Leukine: i need your email though
DaManWitDaPlan: Okay, just to confirm now
Leukine: so i can get paypal ready
DaManWitDaPlan: just to make sure we're on the same page and we're agreed
DaManWitDaPlan: I'm giving you a Searing Plasma Unusual Otolaryngologist's Mirror
DaManWitDaPlan: I'm trading first
DaManWitDaPlan: and then you're sending $200 USD to [email protected] on Paypal
DaManWitDaPlan: correct?
Leukine: yes sir
DaManWitDaPlan: okay
Leukine: that exact spelling?
DaManWitDaPlan: yep should be
Leukine: k
DaManWitDaPlan: [email protected]
Leukine: Alright i'll send it as a gift, it's all ready to go
DaManWitDaPlan: Ok
Leukine: oh haha, my inventory is full, one second gotta launch tf2
DaManWitDaPlan: lol
Leukine: i'll buy a backpack expander if you have one too
Leukine: lol
DaManWitDaPlan: I don't just got one myself and used it
You have accepted the trade request from Leukine.
DaManWitDaPlan: if the trade will load.. lol
You have accepted the trade request from Leukine.
DaManWitDaPlan: Okay, so
DaManWitDaPlan: I am sending the hat now
Leukine: and i'm sending money
Leukine is now Offline.

I guess I let my judgement get the better of me. I felt like the reputation on his profile and adequate playtime in TF2, as well as large array of Steam games, made him appear to be a legitimate user. I'd appreciate any help getting the word out that this trader is not reputable. Thanks.

Sorry, one of the images (the one about playtime) is a thumbnail. Correct image at http://i.imgur.com/Qsmneh.jpg

Deeply sorry for the triple post, but I noticed in some other threads that the 'trade history' was requested by a moderator, and I'm just trying to make this report as complete as I can. Here is my trade history: http://i.imgur.com/yLVqf.png

In addition, I noticed that 2 other users have reported being scammed in similar situations (paypal) by this user (http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198026847058-leukine.18300/ and http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198005339626-enigma.18214/).

Thanks! Again, I apologize for the triple post... I couldn't find a way to edit.

Hello! Thank you for your report! An SR admin will investigate this in a while!

Thanks. Hope he can be stopped from scamming again.
I noticed that now he's changed his name again, this time to "Nyos".
This is a list of aliases I captured earlier:
TodayEnigma
1/2/2013Leukine
1/1/2013Nyos
1/1/2013Anti-OBAMA
12/28/2012Mayonnaise is NOT an instrument
12/28/2012Anti OBAMA
12/28/2012Bob Loblaw
12/13/2012Enigmas

It probably doesn't help, but there it is. lol.

Just letting you all know, it's been 2 months... This user has scammed more than just me. He was trade banned about a month ago, but now he's back on trade probation, which worries me. Please investigate this before someone else is duped by this guy.

Thanks!

OMG , I was scammed like you , are you still waiting the aprobation ? OMG , this thread is 2 months old and nobody did something ... Did you manage to get your Unnusual back ? I'm so sorry for you , I lost just around 1 buds . Did you take a steam support ticket ? Thanks , you seem to be a pretty nice guy

Got 'em. Sorry it took so long- thank you for the report!
