What happened? Description:

Had a trade up on CS:GO Lounge.com and this guy came to me wanting to trade. We agreed on the set $45 and, considering he has quite a lot of +rep's, and 9 years on steam, I trusted him. I gave him my StatTrak AK-47 | Red Laminate while he got PayPal ready and I gave him my PayPal e-mail. For some reason though, it seems he decided to fake this and block me after pretending to be friendly. I also think there should be an investigation into these people claiming +rep for him, because they might be faking it for him to look good and should probably be marked poorly for aiding him.​

The Fake +Rep Claims:http://puu.sh/5WJxn.jpg
http://puu.sh/5WJzw.jpg (That most recent comment was one of my friends' friends who is also angry at this person for the scam.)

Can you provide a screenshot of your paypal history showing you did not receive the payment? You can black out some your personal info (names of other people, your own name, etc)

Yes, of course! The Ryan Stecker payments are me buying Saxton Hell donator for myself and a friend, and the Bills from "Kevin" were random bills to my account that were some random guy's mistake, completely irrelevant. And the 4 denied payments are me trying to add wallet funds when steam's payment system was down.

There is no payment whatsoever from Luddesmurf (or any incoming payments at all, for that matter).

I feel I should also point out that he's trying to scam MORE people based on the changes to his profile. All the +rep comments are from his friends from their "LimitedPlayers" steam group. He is trying to make himself look good and come up with excuses to scam out more items. I have contacted steam via the report feature weeks ago when the incident occured and it seems they neglect to take action.

Hello! Could you please upload your screenshots to steamrep via upload file button?
Thanks!

Yes, of course. Also Happy New Year, everyone!

rly don t understand why you accepted after you saw this ...

Because I myself had that issue from a✿✿✿✿✿✿s just using that when I rejected their offers. People abuse that new system now. :/

Also this was Approved and finished so please don't necro. @-@
