    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198138230812

    Victim profile: 76561198058879767

    What happened? Description:
    I gifted him a Competitive Matchmaking Beta Invite, in exchange for a key and I trusted him as he had good rep overall and clearly traded a lot on Steam - he had a reputation that you wouldn't want to ruin.
    We sent the trade, I told him to confirm it on his phone, and by this point the pass was already in his account.
    He then procceeded to not reply to any of my messages (seen in the screenshot) and then blocked me on Steam. I have send a trade scam report through Steam already, but want to make sure that people will not fall for this in the future.

    Luckily this was only a Beta Pass, something that didn't cost me anything to get, but this should be recognised for fraudulent activity for anybody trading this player in the future.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The trade offer: [​IMG]
    The chat log (Full chat that I had with him):
    [​IMG]
    Proof that I have been blocked by him:
    [​IMG]
    Proof he is the person I say he is (e.g. the trade was sent by him):
    [​IMG]
    If any more evidence is required, please let me know and I will do what I can.

    Files also attached.​

    @OfficiallyBalls
    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History - for at least the last 2 days to present.
    Also in the future do NOT edit screen shots and they must be fullscreen. I'm uploading another to replace the gift shot that you edited.

    UPDATE: He was banned on backpack.tf and apologized, and unblocked me, added me back on Steam and gave me the long awaited key. Screenshots below:

    He obviously added me and resolved in an attempt to get unbanned, so I'm still not sure if he can be trusted - but he the best thing he could do. I do 100% believe he wouldn't have resolved it if he wasn't banned on backpack.tf though, but this is out of my control now and not for me to decide.

    All I can say is, thank you to the mods etc. and everyone over on backpack.tf for getting this resolved. A scammer resolved the issue, but still remains a scammer in my view.

    Balls.
