What happened? Description:

Scammed me out of my Stattrack Karambit Fade Factory New, I have screenshots of this specific knife on my profile and a video of me unboxing it. . We agreed on the price of ~1000 keys being $2500 in paypal I have a screenshot of the "money sent" I also have screenshots as the deal was discussed http://imgur.com/1Hcno4R,aEDHhR0,TxfhzYa . After He "sent the money" I accepted the trade request and we talked via steam chat for a few minutes , waiting for the money to arrive to my account. In this time, he switched mics once, causing the call to end, but then recalled. The reason this was not done through steam itens (keys) is he claimed to have recently gotten a new computer and couldn't yet buy anything / add funds through steam. After waiting for a bit he offers to call paypal and check on the delivery, he talks for about a minute and the call goes dead without a hang up sound. I check and he is now offline http://steamcommunity.com/id/pongoya his steam and it also says that we are not friends, upon trying to re-add him I find out that he has blocked me. Please Help.​

He sent the money, you traded the knife?
Right? Please explain, he sent the money, you traded the knife?
I don't see how you possibly got scammed.
In fact, you'd be the one scamming him. Trying to get your knife back once he'd sent the money? Claiming he scammed you?

Pretty sure the guy just javascripted a fake screenshot and told him he sent the money while OP traded the knife waiting for the 'money' to come through, correct me if i'm wrong.

"Pretty sure"
How can you be sure?

Logically you would trade an item once you we're paid? Correct?
If I asked for someone's knife and I told them I would pay tomorrow, what do you think the outcome would be?
You know if your friend manages to regain hi ex knife, mine charges back his payment.

Ellis you're on his friends list and you were bragging about scamming his knife as well as other knives LOL.

Because I'm his friend?
Obviously I'm going to back him up.
Bragging, excuse me?
I have never scammed, nor will I ever.
Please refrain from that slanderous language.

I have the .dem recording you spastic...

Proof that I have not received the Money

He never sent you money, all he did was make a fake screenshot showing he sent it.

Do you not find it a little fishy that Ellis is on his friends list and is trying to make me sound like the bad guy here?

It is very suspicious..

he never sent him the money you spastic, he faked a screenshot showing he sent the money. You're braindead.

ok this is quite clear.... the transaction number on EACH transaction should also be in the URL bar. and they always match (try it for yourself)

these don't match.

Feel sad for OP.

Didn't see this earlier. As pointed out by Flexx, this is exactly what happened.

Screenshot his entire friendslist because my guess is that he'll move it to another account or a friends account, you shouldn't have sold such a valuable item for paypal cash I even warned you on your stream and via steamchat. You should have been absolutely wary of scammers and seeing as he pulled you into a voice chat you don't have much to go on. Seeing as you have your paypal and trade history its more than obvious this was a scam, I just went ahead and tried to get it back for you, but as you guessed once a scumbag always a scumbag. Screenshots below.

so he's selling the knife for under half the price he "bought" it for just over a week ago. and why would he do that?

As you can see on lounge he has no pending trades, obvious scammer is obvious not to mention he's probably bluffing about the trade. People who trade with scammers to my knowledge get tradebanned as well for knowingly accepting scammed goods, at least as far as I know. The knife isn't leaving his inventory and somehow I doubt the report is either. On a side note read some guides on steamrep on how to avoid a trade scam, it will probably end up helping you avoid the next scammer to add you. Also, I suggest you and your friends take your time -reping him on lounge in the mean time.

Like you said, it isn't probable especially considering that he's a scammer. Liars will always lie its just how they work.

i understand that bro ^^ anyway ill be quite now... don't want to spam "everyones" post on steamrep now do i.
