    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198094353154

    Victim profile: 76561198142491597

    What happened? Description:
    My friend Kyle aka Gandalf, I've known from school, and been his friend since I was about 8, and have been living just up the road from him ever since.

    I just felt as if I needed to help him with this report, as I can't afford to see him so angry, and sad.

    My friend Gandalf, had an Unusual TF2 Item worth about 50$, and it wasn't selling on the market. Now, Gandalf, had known this steam friend for about 2-3 weeks. And over these weeks, Gandalf had obviously grown closer to him as a friend, increasing his trust in him. This person said that he would sell the item for him.
    At first, Gandalf was hesitant to trade it, but in the end, was convinced to do so.

    He also offered Kyle an Item (TF2 Item) in security, to gain extra trust, but this item was worth absolutely nowhere near the price standard of the Unusual item.

    Kyle DID know that this item the scammer was offering was under priced, but he obviously didn't know that he would end up taking it, and running in the end.

    This person, did not at all sell the item, let a lone put it on the market, he just took it, and ran.

    Thanks for understanding.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Gyazo Link for trade history image.

    Kyle was unable to screenshot the chat history, as he had closed the chat tab, thinking the scammer would end up following up with the procedure, being selling it on the market for him. The scammer then unfriended Kyle, and blocked communication with him, so Kyle was unable to see the chat history.​

    Hello @Chrazy , in order to proceed with your report please add a:
    - Screenshot of the agreement- in full, without cropping anything and taken from inside victim's Steam Client;
    - Screenshot of the inventory history, related to the scam:

    • Open the Steam Browser by double clicking the steam icon in the tray in lower right corner of your screen.
    • On top left, open menu "Steam" and select "Settings".
    • On the new Settings dialog box, select "Interface" and enable the tick in front of "Display Steam URL address bar when available".
    • Click "OK" to close the Steam Settings dialog, applying the setting.

    Making the screenshot:
    • In the Steam Browser, go to your Inventory, by clicking your Nickname in the top middle and selecting "Inventory"
    • On top right, click the "More" button that is shown above the game labels for the various inventories you have, and select "View Inventory History".
    • Seek the trade that relates to this on the number of pages you have (look below for the requirements).
    • Go to the start menu and type in the seek box "snipping", you will find in Vista and later the "Snipping Tool", click it to start it. It directly wants to make a screenshot. Select the full window excluding the very top of the steam browser window where your LOGIN name is shown. But INCLUDE the Nickname, the steam URL bar fully, both sides and full bottom of the steam browser.
    • Click the "Diskette" icon, or click "File" and then "Save As...", and save it to your desktop.
    • Come back here and make a reply.
    • Drag the image into the reply on the forum from the desktop.
    Requirements of the screenshot(s):
    • Exclude the Login name and steam wallet amount that is on the very top right.
    • MUST show the Steam URL in top left.
    • MUST show the NICKNAME in top middle.
    • MUST show the related trade from the day before to up to at least 2 days after the trade or current date if that is earlier.
    • MUST show to the bottom of the steam browser window.
    • You are NOT to edit the screenshot, and NOT to blank out anything.
    Example: http://files.steamrep.com/1/2014-10/2014-10-12_20-16-58.png

    Also please ask your friend to post a reply here, stating that he indeed confirms the situation.
