History

I have been selling my buds and keys. murmaider contacted me as you can see in our complete and unedited chat. He was asked if he was Paypal verified, it's all in the chat. Also in the uploaded screenshots you can see my inventory history where he was given the earbuds. Also included is a screenshot of my outpost ad with the earbuds along with another screenshot of the history and ownership of these earbuds.
Later on I receive emails from Paypal (another screenshot included) where he is now reversing payment.
He later removed me from his friend's list and changed his name and profile picture.

Hello, would you happen to have a screenshot of the actual chat?

I do not have an actual screenshot of it because it was too long so I right clicked, selected all and copied the entire chat and put it in this . This is the complete unedited chat.

I am no longer part of JFH. I can't figure out how to change that name on here.

such a shame, i hope you contacted valve regarding the matter, cause his profile has been stripped bare now, and prob moved all his stuff to an alt

murmaider has now changed his name to Sponge and also changed his profile picture to Spongebob.

I now have additional information from the guy murmaider sold my buds to. I will upload screenshots of that conversation along with a screenshot of a Webmoney Receipt where murmaider resold my buds

Bump?

I have contacted Paypal and basically what it comes down to is that they do not like to deal with "Digital Item Transactions" So reguarless if you use a trusted middleman it's still very easy to get scammed and there's nothing you can do. You're in Paypal's mercy. Ridiculous.

Hopefully SteamRep will at least get him marked as a scammer.

This has happened to me also not as bad as i your case; only 12 keys, but i hope yours and mine gets solved.

I have been sick to my stomach over this scam just to be scammed by one other guy. I haven't played TF2 since this has happened and dealing with Paypal is a JOKE. Understand that trading any digital item is not covered by Paypal and they will reverse any charge that is claimed to be unauthorized with very little question. So trusted or not .. middleman or not they have up to 45 days after the trade to just reverse their sale. It's sickening.

We I just came back here to see if this guy was marked as a scammer yet and it still says "Ready For Review" ... Can this be bumped up for review please?

Also, I am NOT "JFH" or have anything to do with them any longer and I logged in with Steam. Is there anyway to get this changed or the JFH removed?
