    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198069985504

    Victim profile: 76561198014126683

    What happened? Description:
    He is level 40 on Steam and he has this realistic profile offering keys for 1.80$. I added him to friends and he responded immediately. He gave me his email [email protected] to pay in PayPal for 10 keys, so that's 18$ plus fees.

    After the payment was processed, we chatted a little bit about some inappropriate jokes after, and then he just disappeared. I think he didn't even block me, he's just ignoring my messages.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Also please notice in his friend list this person have people like legendary scammer Solarflare and already banned in SteamRep. So it must be some long scammer ring, also judging from names, based in India.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Cheers,
    mk​

    Bumping doesn't help your report get processed any faster. Until it gets processed, it will be linked on his profile, helping to warn others.

    Processing can take anywhere from 1 month to a year.

    Just initiate a chargeback, and remember, do not close the dispute under any circumstances. Once you close the dispute you can't reopen it. He can still refund while the dispute is open.

    Wow so the scammer got a year to keep scamming. Also you can't charge back when you send it as gift.

    You can charge back anything on paypal.

    This report has the exact same effect as a full tag, to anyone smart enough to check steamrep. Whether he is tagged or not he can do whatever he wants on steam. All steamrep can do is warn people, if they bother to check the steamrep profile.

    Can you give an example reason what to write on PayPal when you want to get money returned that you sent as Family and Gifts? It gives warnings if I provide false informations my account might get suspended. And how is Paypal gonna believe I got scammed on Steam, like they care at all.

    Just say that the payment was a mistake, the seller tried to force you to use gift instead of goods in order to scam you and you didn't realize the implications.

    Or go to your credit card company and have them take the payment back.

    The credit card method won't work, the money I sent was the money I received before from other PayPal user. Also did this method ever worked for you that it was mistake?

    Yep. I once sent money to the wrong address and got it back. Never actually fallen for a scam though. Back in my day, all the scams targeted items, no one bothered trying to steal paypal, as it is so easily reversed.

    Just make it very clear that the scammer really forced you to use gift instead of goods as they were trying to steal your money.

    Salmon that's what they sent: "
    We've investigated your unauthorised payment claim.
    We've reviewed your account and we're satisfied that your account is secure and there has been no access by a third party. For this reason, we're unable to proceed with your unauthorised payment claim.
    If you're unhappy with a particular purchase, we encourage you to work with your seller to find a resolution. If a product you purchased never arrived or was significantly not as described, you may be entitled to open a dispute in the Resolution Centre and be covered by our Buyer Protection."

    Funny thing is that I can't open a dispute because it was sent as gift/family, those disputes works only goods services, and I wrote them what you said.

    Try calling them. It looks like you got an automated response - it just checked your IP history.

    For the future, make sure that you always clean any funds in paypal out to your bank, and use credit card for any transactions. Your cc can always charge back.
