What happened? Description:

We agreed to trade my Karambit Case Hardened BS for 1500 Swedish Chrones (SEK). I traded the knife to the middle man.

When we asked for the transaction ID on paypal he didn't respond and removed us both from steam. He didn't answer his facebook either.

Provide Evidence:

This is the full conversation split into six pictures. Notice that I took the screenshots after Viking left the chat.

I also included my Paypal Transaction History.

Black Lively · Apr 8, 2014

Totally forgot to say that we speak swedish in the start of the pictures. Can give translations if it's needed. But I think it's more important when the middle man joins the conversation.

SIVARTZ · Apr 8, 2014

Can you provide me with the chat logs. I will Translate.
But It will help if we have the chat logs in text format.
Just upload the entire chat.

18:09 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: That's not surprising, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the next 10 minutes
18:09 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: he could have possibly lagged out
18:09 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: it's a possibility
18:09 - Black Lively: He went offline aswell
18:09 - Black Lively: Will check facebook
18:10 - Black Lively: He didn't remove me atleast.
18:10 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: could you take a screenshot of your paypal transaction history for today and email it to me as well?
18:10 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: just incase he files a scam report claiming you ran off with his money
18:10 - Black Lively: Yeah sure
18:12 - Black Lively: Sent you an email
18:12 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: thanks, got it
18:12 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: i'm going to attempt to add him and ask for a screenshot of his transaction history
18:12 - Black Lively: He removed me from his friendslist...
18:12 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: screenshot that
18:12 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: basically, screenshot/record everythinjg
18:13 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: to cover your own ass should he try to file a scam report
18:13 - Black Lively: Yeah.
18:13 - Black Lively: I've recorded the entire thing
18:13 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: good, give me a couple minutes to save my own screenshots and i'll trade the knife back
18:14 - Black Lively: Alright.
18:16 - Black Lively: This is weird. He's reading my messages on Facebook

18:19 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: link me the steamrep report when you have it posted
18:19 - Black Lively: Sweet
18:19 - Black Lively: Yeah, first report i'm posting
18:20 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: also I was talking to a friend about this, he could give you 65 keys for the knif
18:20 - Black Lively: Should we call it a scam attempt?
18:20 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: yep
18:20 - Black Lively: Alright
18:21 - Black Lively: He couldn't give me cash?
18:21 - Black Lively: I'm interested of getting the money out of the steam world tbh
18:21 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: asking him about that now
18:21 - Black Lively: Okey sweet man
18:21 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: yeah that's understanble, but with keys you can sell those about 100x faster and 100x more safely
18:22 - Black Lively: Well yeah, but I'm not very sure of all this trading :O
18:22 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: well from a purely risk point of view, you could sell 5 keys at a time and the risk is much lower
18:23 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: 18:23 - chaosk | pan.tf: meh
18:23 - chaosk | pan.tf: i just took all my paypal funds yesterday
18:23 - Black Lively: Oh damn..
18:24 - Black Lively: Well okey
18:26 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: if you look at it as: scammers target high value single items that they can easily scam like knives
18:26 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: they don't go for small items like keys
18:26 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: there are a lot of legitimate buyers on /r/globaloffensivetrade buying keys
18:26 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: not as many are buying knives
18:26 - Black Lively: Okey okey
18:26 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: I'm only saying this because there's an extreme amount of scammers in csgo
18:27 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: I unboxed a knife once
18:27 - IM ACTUALLY A CRATE: ended up selling it for keys because it was too much hassle to find a legit buyer
18:27 - Black Lively: Haha k
