    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198061399535

    Victim profile: 76561198113490647

    What happened? Description:
    He added me after seeing my trade offer on TF2 outpost where I stated that I am selling a Bill's Hat painted After Eight for 6 keys. We had a normal, nice chat and I already suspected that it's kind of fishy that he wants to give me a steam wallet code worth $15, because it's something I've never done before. Once I began to trust him after a long chat about usual every day things, he gave me a HALF of the wallet code, so I traded him and gave him my items, but just before that, I wrote him that he shouldn't delete me from his friends list after the trade and after I know that the wallet code is valid, so I gave him my Bill's Hat and the Last Breath because $15 dollars was a bit more than 6 keys. After that he gave me the full wallet code and instantly blocked me. Of course, the code was not valid, so here I am, with my spirit broken and my faith in the community lost.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Here is the our full chat:
    RatMan: hi there
    Mentlegen: hello
    RatMan: i was wondering if i could buy ur bills + maybe some sweets for $15
    Mentlegen: What do you mean by sweets?
    Mentlegen: and how do you wanna buy it/
    RatMan: well; by sweets i mean like kringle collection or something
    Mentlegen: Sorry, I don't have kringle collection D:
    RatMan: i was going to buy with paysafe code

    RatMan: than another hat or misc
    RatMan: *then
    Mentlegen: paysafe code? So what, I'm supposed to give you my Bill's and TRUST you that the paysafe code is valid? Why don't you use the paysafe code, buy the keys and then we trade?

    Unfortunately, we no longer accept reports on CD keys. CD keys are extremely difficult to track or prove who activated them, or whether they were valid to begin with, so with rare exceptions these cases cannot meet the burden of proof. The same rule applies to gift codes, activation keys, Humble Bundle gifts, etc. for the same reason. http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/notice-changes-to-investigation-policy.47952/

    As such, I am archiving this report.
