    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198127198009

    Victim profile: 76561198121531139

    What happened? Description:
    I have posted my Karambit Knife and my 200 Cs:go keys on Reddit, saying I want money for them (paypal).
    "GoodDog" Added me and we had a long discussion how we will trade.
    At the end, we did it like this: He payed 1,90€ per key. He sent me the money in small amounts first and then I sent him the keys. It was mostly 25 keys per trade up to 200 in total.
    I had received the money without fees and as "Gift, send by family and friends" So I was sure he could not charge back. Oh boy was I wrong. Then he showed interest in my Marble fade Karambit so I said I want 575€ for it (Good Pattern) and then he gave me the money is 50€ piece by piece and at the end I gave him my Knife. He then even wanted some expensive skins I had so I gave him those aswell for 100€ total. they were ~110 market price together.
    So far so good. I had around 1,100€ on my paypal account. But then....
    1 day later I saw ALL the money was gone. it was on "Hold" by paypal because he made disputes probably asking back for the money. He did not get it back YET but he will most likely since there is no buyer protection for virtual items. I have sent them proof though.

    I will provide screenshots of our conversation and the Trades we did.
    He obviously scammed me. he no longer has the items in his inventory. probably an alt account. He didnt have rep but 278 games, 2 years and I was desperate for money... bad call from me.

    As a side note for the Screenshots. "GoodDog" has 2 names in these paypal transactions. "Russel Tommy" and "Craig Schmidt", I dont know why.
    Also, "GoodDog" has removed me from steam and no longer accepts my friend requests.​

    My trade History. as you can see he received around 213 keys, my skins and my
    Karambit.

    Here is the last 90 days on my paypal account. As you can see, Money is "Pending" because he is currently trying to get it back and therefor scamming me.

    If any more information is required please tell me. I will provide it.​

    @Bubble3

    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History - open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload. Also need a screen shot of your Paypal history for let’s say the last several days full screen DO NOT edit this shot in anyway. Upload here.

    You did provide a few of those screens but they were all cut down...I want them full screen as in PRINT screen them and follow directions on the trade inventory history as I asked. Thanks!

    IMPORTANT: He has changed his steam name and Steam ID several times now. "Babbybon" at the moment.
    Unfortunately my steam is in German but I hope this is enough.

    Ok thanks - the one chat screen shot confirms that switch and that should be all I need.
    Have you gotten any results from paypal about the disputes? Some users have given the very screens you've provided here to them and that has helped them in the disputes.

    Thank you. I hope this guy can be stopped and he will have a red tag. does not stop him from making an alt. account though which he most definetely has, the items I gave him were instantly away from his inventory.

    I have contacted paypal a few times via phone. Unfortunately they couldnt do anything at the time since There is no seller protection for virtual items. are there any specific tips you can give me? I would like not losing 1,100€.
    They told me to simply wait and see what happens, Of course Iam really afraid of losing here. I have uploaded screenshots and notes but the problem is he sent the money in small pieces, so 1,100€ in 50€. so I have to reply to everysingle dispute and for some reason I cant upload images on all of them. I have on the ones I can though.
    Thank you in advance... :(
