1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198075396016 (Borsalino)

    Victim profile: 76561198014186887

    What happened? Description:
    Alright. So I got a Strange Kritzkrieg for a pretty decent price, a few keys lower than usual. Figured I could resell it for a little more. I put the Strange Kritz up on several trading sites and this guy, Borsalino, wants to pay me 92 dollars for it at first. I talk him to 110. So we then decide Steam Wallet is the best way to do the transaction because the market would have taken a cut. He linked me to a site stating his trading rep was good, so I trusted him.

    http://www.steamtrades.com/user/Borsalino/page/1

    That's the site that said he was solid. The one negative review was me, warning future traders. With that said, I trusted him. And traded him the Strange Kritz before he gave me the money. I know, I know. Rookie mistake. Stupid. I shouldn't have been so trusting. But I did it. And he state he sent the money, yet I never received it. Then he had the gall to call me out on the matter. When we got to the point where was I bargaining for him to just give it back and I'd let him go without reporting him or anything, well. I probably would have anyway. I just wanted my item back. At any rate. The screenshots detail the entire conversation, and I have others confirming he received the item in question and I never received the funds. Shut this guy down, please. I noticed he scammed someone else already and I have no doubt that he did it.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The following the steam chat we had together, agreeing on the transaction, and me arguing that I never received payment. He later said that I did and Steam support told him.

    The following is more recent evidence that my wallet is empty. View attachment 80669

    Any blacked out smudges on the upper right corner of the screenshots with the full Steam window are merely blacking out my account name, which I read was okay. I have originals without the blacking out if they are required.​

    Quick update. The profile I linked from steamtrades, he was impersonating that individual. You can check their real profile versus the one I gave you. Again, another thing I should've checked instead of rushing into things.

    That is a link to the actual individual, and I apologize for leaving negative feedback on their profile. I had no idea they were being impersonated. Please hurry and flag this guy as a scammer so he can't use that account any more and hurt anyone else.
