What happened? Description:

I posted in Dota2Lounge stating that im selling my arcana LC for real cash, and this guy added me http://steamcommunity.com/id/killitbitz

-- we talked about negotiation that i will send the item to my friend first as a "middleman" before he process the payment through western union. so i have agreed and he asks that i invite my friend to our conversation, here is my real friend acct http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061375778/

-- after i invited him, he asks that i give my items to my friend, so my friend sends me a trade invite afterwards and we completed the trade 2 times (1st time is i traded my arcana LC set, then he proposes that he will buy my full inventory, so we traded the 2nd time with all my inventory)

-- after the trade he said that he will send the money then removes me as friend. upon checking my trade history, my items was traded to another person (with the person stated in the accused details given) and that person impersonates my friend "Tomoki" (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061375778/)

-- please ban the persons involved and hoping to get my items, if not please remove those items from that user or whoever has it now

-- seriously steam should disable changing the account's display name to avoid these scams ​

SR cannot get your items back, try to report it to valve. Although they usually do not interfere in impersonation scams and scams involving real money.

Did you give him any address to send the real money to? If yes, provide also payments history in the account that was supposed to receive this payment.

thank you for replying. the transaction involving sending the money did not take place

Yes i gave him, stated in the screenshots

"John Lawrence" and etc?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he gave you this address, not vice versa?

no, i was the one who gave my name and address

Screenshots say he gave you this adress.

he is just confirming the details i gave him, unfortunately i have no screenshot of our earlier conversation stated on the screenshots. the earlier conversation only talks about how he will send the cash to me (Western Union)

Ready for review.

Real friend
