    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] Steam Wallet fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198025638219

    Victim profile: 76561198069659745

    What happened? Description:
    So this guy told me that he was going to give me 4 steam wallet codes that would be worth 320 so i could purchase 125 keys from the market. He said that I needed to record it so I would not scam him for he would go first in giving me the codes, and so i downloaded team viewer since that is what he told me is what allowed him to see my screen. Then, I sent him the trade and i went to my email to wait to get my codes so i could accept the trade from there after. Then, as i was on my email, a steam link pops up saying I accepted the trade without even touching anything. Then the guy unfriended me and left without doing anything and I did not receive any steam wallet codes.My knife is still on the scammers account, and I believe that means steam has the ability to recover my item. Therefore, with all this evidence i attached, can I receive my item back?​

    @Cheesecake 2
    Well appears as if you were tricked into using Team Viewer which gives the other person control of your computer, account access and so on. You need to avoid things of this nature in the future for sure and never give others control or access into your computer using any 3rd party software. Issue here is with the chat, he took you to voice which keeps him from being "saved" as to what he was doing or offering and then had you give him complete access to your system so he can set the trade while instantly authorizing it.
    I see where you gave the TeamViewer codes in the chat but I'm honestly not sure that is enough - I'll check into it more. In the meantime please don't make duplicate reports. Thanks!

    Please help my friend I gave him my knife to use in trade ups and this hacker made us both suffer a huge loss :/ ... He is very trustworthy trader and if I had been online I could of told him of the team viewer scam but he had no idea what it was. Please help he is very good guy I trust his so much look I gave him my knife to use in trade ups and please get this scammer banned. Is it not obvious he is a scammer what "normal" person uses speech only and asks someone to download teamviewer to "share screens" :((( wish I was online to catch the scam...

    We can't help anyone recover items. I'm going to slide this report up to review.

    Gathering evidence for this specific scam method is extremely difficult. However, with multiple current reports against the accused, I believe they are sufficient to get this person tagged as soon as possible.

    Thank you, tagging him would help me get my item back from steam quicker I assume, if possible at least, but thank your for the help
