    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] Steam Wallet fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198048676498

    Victim profile: 76561198034023306

    What happened? Description:
    He added me quite a long time ago, asking me about my unusual Heavy Hats (Dead presidents Big Chief and Orbiting planets Bunsen brave). A few days ago, he contacted me again, offering a code of 25 euro via PaySafeCard and 2 keys. I gave in to the offer and decided to sell my Bunsen brave to him. I asked him to send the code first out of safety, but he said that "I shouldn't worry, after all I can always report him". After sending the trade, a messaged showed up on trade of a warning in that other users had flagged him as a scammer, but he explained that it was from "lowballers" and "noobs". His Steamrep was clean, and his inventory seemed too big for a scammer to risk it, so I felt reassured that nothing wrong would happen. After the trade, his following messages were:
    "Here's the code"
    ":"
    After that, he never answered any of my messages, so I gave him a deadline to answer me before I reported him. A friend (http://steamcommunity.com/id/ericmeh/) then confirmed that he had blocked me, sent him a comment asking nicely about the hat, and his comment was promptly deleted.
    I was foolish enough to not have take screenshots of the chat. I do have a couple of screenshots of the trade:

    You might notice that my username is different in the second screenshot. This is because, for a reason Valve never explained, I can't add funds to my Steam Wallet in my main account, so I made a second account (http://steamcommunity.com/id/hiidekii/) to manage any Steam Wallet transactions
    Steam Waller History on my main (this account): http://puu.sh/eaIxn.jpg
    Steam Wallet History on my alt: http://puu.sh/eaIfr.jpg
    It should be noted that my hat cannot be found on his Steam Inventory and SteamAPI doesn't register a trade either​

    Today, January 12th, the person who scammed me and blocked me added me, asking if I could remove the report if he gives back the hat which he claims he still has. The hat is not in his inventory.
    He claimed that he sold the PaySafe code to someone else, and since he didn't have any left, he kept my hat and blocked me. He only added me back when he noticed I had put up this report, saying that he "didn't want to stop trading".
    I said I'd remove this report when he gave the hat back, which he said he'd do it on Wednesday (Jan 14th), but I won't.

    Today, Wednesday January 14th, just as he promised, the person who scammed (Steam nickname: horst) me returned my hat after talking a lot.
    Here're the chat screenshots:

    He kept delaying the trade until I brought up the Market Listing of my hat in the Steam Community Market:

    Here's the trade completion:

    I will no longer push this report on horst, as he gave my hat back eventually. Still, running off with my hat and blocking me left me a really salty taste in my mouth, so although I will stop pushing this report, I will leave judgement of what to do with horst and this report. Whether you ban him or let him go I don't care.

    Apologies it takes so long, the SteamRep staff have a lot of reports to handle, yours will hopefully be reviewed soon.
