Victim profile: 76561198020488640

What happened? Description:

He opened a 4-pack of Tropico 5 for me. Once the Omerta preorder bonus have been unlocked (they were given to the one that opened the 4-pack) he refused to trade 3 of the 4 copies he recived back, so I couldn't give them to the other people that opened the 4-pack.

He tried to convince me that he didn't recive them (he made his profile private for few hours straight before the unlock happened), he said that he doesn't want to restart his steam client cause he never does it, he even faked his trade history. He has also changed his name multiple times during those two days to a blank one so his name wouldn't be visible on the friends list. Then finally he removed me from his friends list, blocked and set his name back to regular one.

It took him 3 days to trade back the previous preorder unlocks (Tropico 4), he didn't want to give them back as well. He said that it wasn't part of the 4-packs, that those copies are his cause he recived them and stuff like that.​

Provide Evidence:

Trade history
His name change history (game was unlocked on Sunday, never changed name before)
1st day conversation
2nd day conversation - part 1
2nd day conversation - part 2
2nd day conversation - part 3​

Due to a backlog of scam reports, and to focus on the ones where items or money were lost, we are freezing the below types of reports. Please report these scam types to our partner communities if they accept them.

• Fakerep reports:
  • Please report to the community where the fakerep is posted.
    • SteamRep does not maintain reputation threads and does not see profile rep as legitimate. These reports are best addressed by the communities that maintain such threads.
• CD Keys/Game Code scam reports:
  • Please report to the community where the trade originated and make a steam support ticket. https://support.steampowered.com/
    • Game keys/codes are impossible to verify as legitimate to begin with or what account the code is redeemed on. Before we only accepted if a user had solid proof, but now are rejecting all such reports.
• Phishing/hijacking account reports:
  • If you are phished/hijacked you need to make a steam support ticket ASAP https://support.steampowered.com/
  • Report phishing attempts to Valve by using the in-profile report system shown below
    • A lot of victims are not traders or even know they are marked on SR. Valve has made improvements to steam that mitigate the potential loss of items caused by phishers/hijackers; the original reason for tagging such users to begin with.
