Scam Report

Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198157320493

Victim profile: 76561198157301049

What happened? Description:

he added me to buy a unusual and 2 strange festives (st. festive aktinguisher and eyelander). i wasn't very sure if he is really a scammer or he is correct (i can't see negative things from a unknown guy). he had one paypal rating (positive) so i had to went first. i wanted to trade my festives first so i know he sends money so i sent him the items. after that he removed me and blocked me.​

Provide Evidence:

it's a 30 min vid, it contains the complete trade with chat etc.​

I have more proof, he also tried to scam me. He offered me PayPal money for my Stranges and TF2 keys (even though I wasn't selling them). I told him I wasn't selling them, but I was selling a Strange Pro KS Knife. I told him I only accept community market money for IRL cash and he told me that he can't use market for 1 month. He said he would give me a Steam Wallet Gift Code, but I had to give the knife first. He offered $40 on the knife, way past my buyout. I asked him for rep, but he didn't have any.

He also told me most of the same things as he did to Grinch&Self

Well, I contacted him for s✿✿✿s and giggles, so this is our convo. Yep, he's a bona fide scammer. mark the b✿✿✿✿.

thanks for these proofs, it was very late and i forgot to make enough pics.

Hey grinch really sorry about this dont know what i was thinking i am going to re-add you and hopefully i can be forgiven (I will give you 5 keys aswell )

Well my previous comment could be successful but it seems you have blocked communications with me
Please undo that action in order for you to recieve your items back

I can confirm he added me and asked to voice chat, he made up this whole story about how he has this account that got phished, I said yeah you know you have an open scam report right? He immediately hung up the call and blocked me DO NOT trade with this person.

he gave me 7 keys back.. after that he asked me if i can remove the thread.. xD
no thanks, i hope you have a bad time in trading (also more after you called me a nazi. sadly, i don't saved the chatlog of this)

also thanks for 2 free keys, rekt.

I can verify that he/she is a scammer and I lost $60 worth too, scammed me when I was very new to unusual trading and I couldn't get screenies. I hope we can find the main account because this account was depleted of items.

I've been trading now for about 4 years, and though I do it less and less these days- and only with the end goal to completely transmute my backpack in a desperate attempt to leave behind this sorry business forever- every so often I accept an add from a stranger in anticipation that I'll be rid of my few remaining hats. Just this very hour I accepted an add from this imbecile http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jaun23/- the superstar of this thread- hoping to be relieved of my recently advertised noh mercy w/flies or infernal impaler w/flies (available at the bargain prices of 20 pure and 2.5 pure respectively). Reading the previous posts, how this desperate fool has managed to evade a steamrep ban for this long has me very concerned about the capabilities of the steamrep staff.

Anyway, here's our chat:

21:35 - MADATAGAME: im gonna be the one who confirms that unconfirmed scam report on steamrep

And here I am, faithful to my word.

I hope that my years of clean reputation count here. In 4 years never before have I encountered such a hilariously inept and childish wannabe scammer (and I've seen some fools, believe me).

Please, ban this idiot.

XD the last post was hilarious. I can't believe I was scammed by this mentally redundant excuse for a human being. Unbelievable. I really don't get how this shithead isn't trade banned yet, and another thing is that he/she's offering STEAM CODES. Lel. Community's great man.

I can confirm that this user (Megalomaniac) had also tried to scam my Ye Oiled Baker Boy unusual. He offered to buy for $70 paypal and I told him I would give a discount if it was in key/buds. Apparently he can't use market or buy keys from the community market or mann co store. (even though he isn't f2p and has a decent amount of hours). The trade evidence of his past paypal trades consisted of one of his friends. However, I did not trust him so I backed out of the trade.

Seeing this thread makes me very uncomfortable. I was hoping that our trade was just a mixup but this doesn't bode well.
