    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198161859335

    Victim profile: 76561198050721490

    What happened? Description:
    I added him to purchase his stattrak ak redline and a key for $25. He seemed trustworthy and even said that he had done business with another user successfully. He scammed me of $25 and then blocked me. I added a few of his friends to see if they could get him to talk, but he just blocked the ones he didnt know, and the ones whom i think he did know removed me shortly after.​

    Open a dispute with paypal. Once you've opened a dispute with paypal, do not close it unless he refunds you or gives you the items. He can refund you while the dispute is open. If you close the dispute you cannot reopen it or recreate it - the money will be gone.

    You can try calling paypal too, they're often more responsive that way.

    I've just emailed the owner of the paypal account and we've discussed the issue. they are not willing to comply at all and seem to be lying a lot. is there a way i can edit the emails into the original post? I also have a chat log of me and the user in a CS:GO lobby, although i wasnt able to take screenshots of that, however i was able to copy paste it all to a sticky note. I understand that both are of little significance, but i figured anything could help. I might even be able to forward the email to an admin if they want to look into it.
    The email recipient claimed that the paypal account was theres and that they have proof of doing business directly with someone of the same last name as me and that they have proof, but that the steam account isnt theres.

    This is just the raw chat of the steam lobby. I realise that i am not a reliable source in this matter, but i figured why not. He acknowledges i got scammed here and so do his steam friends and also that he could just get a new paypal account which tells me that he owns the one i emailed, yet when i emailed that address, he said that it wasnt his steam account.

    Connected to lobby.

    Clear everything against the email address, that's a completely separate steam user.
    I've come to the conclusion that the original user that added me was also on his alt account striking a deal with the email address' steam account. Because his main account couldn't trade, he held the items on his alt account, and the person i was emailing just informed me that they tracked the items and found it to be back in his main account which i have just seen. his alt account,
    | steamname: boostmeister
    | steam3ID: [U:1:9153375]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:4576687
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969419103
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/watmeandrugs
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197969419103
    has 5 unconfirmed reports next to his name, so i wouldn't say that my claim is too far left field.

    Hello @Chillinlittle , in order to proceed with your report please add a:
    -ScreenShot of your paypal history- showing all the activity(go back 1 month, from the date of the scam)-in full screen, displaying the url bar and without cropping anything;
    -Screenshot of the paypal receipt - showing the details of the payment in question (Click Details next to the payment) -in full screen, displaying the url bar and without cropping anything;
    -Screenshot of your inventory history:

    1º-Open the Steam Browser by double clicking the steam icon in the tray in lower right corner of your screen.
    2º-On top left, open menu "Steam" and select "Settings".
    3º-On the new Settings dialog box, select "Interface" and enable the tick in front of "Display Steam URL address bar when available".
