    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198297998984

    Victim profile: 76561198129388091

    What happened? Description:
    They added me on 17/08/16 claiming they wanted to trade with me, but my Steam Auth wasn't available until today [16/08/16]. When they spoke to me about trading they said they wanted to pay with real money. I suggested they used Marketplace.tf to buy ingame currency to make the trade safe, but they then went on to talk about how you can now transfer steam funds in a recent update [which I know IS NOT TRUE.] After pointing this out, they then started to report saying they will report me, make a fake story [shown in evidence] to try and get me steamrep banned. After that, they then went on to try and blackmail me into trading, at which point I removed them. I have NO relationship with this person. They added me out of the blue.

    NOTE: The user did NOT send me a trade offer as I was quick to realize the attempt. I can show my trade offers if needed, but it is currently empty.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Evidence 1-4 shows the chatlog.

    Evidence5 shows the scammer trying to blackmail me into trading, and claiming to create a FALSE REPORT in attempt to get me steam rep banned.

    Evidence6 shows the profile steam page of the user, with the recent name of the one in the chat log.

    SteamTrade shows no offer was sent, nor denied as I was quick on the act. If this isn't enough evidence I can do my best to provide more.​
