    Hi guys,
    i wanted to trade with a guy some csgo items. We ordered a middleman called i7IJing. During the item varification two things happened:
    1. I didnt get my items back from the varification bot
    2. I missclicked and closed the chat window. Now the Middleman and my trading partner blocked me and i cant talk to them.

    Is there any chance to get my items back? They are worth about 200 Euros and i dont want to lose that money just because of a missclick.

    1. That is the Item Verification Bot. My trading partner wanted to know, if i got my trading items in a legal way. And i am 100% sure, that it was i7|Jing Screenshot (7).png

    Items can't or won't be returned - they are gone. As for the situation it has scam written all over it
    if you happened to save the chat/agreement between the other user and the so called middleman you can submit a report but without that there isn't much SR can investigate.

    As for that screen you just put up - follow the directions here

    my question, you can report someone for impersonating without any proof except their profile right?

    Well it looks like like theres no chance to get my items back. Atleast this told me to trust nobody while trading.

    You can under some circumstances - there is even a way to do that thru Steam reporting.

    IMO impersonated MM or GREEN tagged comm admins here and such need to be reported to that community for which they reside - if say CLIVE is impersonated or Mattie then they could report to SR. If someone impersonated ME then they can report to WA or here.

    No such thing as a "verification bot"
