    Description: The victim was trying to sell a few Steam games to PussySlasher. PussySlasher is currently trade-banned by Valve and cannot do trades, so 'rishftw_' was going to be a middleman for this trade. guanciale gifted the games to 'rishftw_' instead of Steam Trade, after 'rishftw_' had told guanciale that he had the money to pay him for the games in his PayPal account. After the games were gifted, rishftw told him that he did not have the money, but said he would go ahead and pay for the games, anyway, if guanciale added an additional game. guanciale did so, and after that, rishftw still refused to pay, attempting to extort an additional game.

    PussySlasher is already trade-banned, but currently has no community-specific tags on him.

    I contacted rishftw when guanciale came to me for help, and gave him a chance to fix this, which he refused to do.

    The trade was originally brokered through Reddit Steam Game Swap (reddit.com/r/steamgameswap), of which I am a moderator.

    While it's disappointing that you were scammed, guanciale, you did not take the proper precautions while trading - and, indeed, went on with the trade even after you were informed that you were trading with a scammer.

    I'm the other Reddit mod in the screenshot from demanrisu.

    The scammer's other alts (PussySlasher, not the "middleman"):

    I'm genuinely at a loss for words why this happened, after explicitly stating the guy is a scammer, that we had reports from several other members about him trying to pull the same scam on them, and sending the link to Steamrep profile where he is marked as a scammer.

    "My Paypal account always reads 0 because it's link to my bank account." Oy vey... o_O

    Thank you for your report. A steamrep admin will look at this shortly.

    There is no need to post anymore after this.

    That's the one I already linked above. I linked both his Valve-banned account, and the one that was used to middleman with you.

    I don't believe that they're the same person, since they're both online at once, and commenting on each other's profiles.

    Here for the middleman scam: http://imgur.com/G8fRt, but for the original guy it was a gift so I couldn't transfer it via trade, I had to send it via email, This is the only proof I can think of tell me if its not enough, http://imgur.com/a/PrpC9. It's the first picture that shows that i owned the game.

    This is bull crap. At least respond saying something. It's like you guys are ignoring this.

    Be patient. If you take a look at the reports section, you'll see that there are literally hundreds of pending reports. SR admins aren't paid to do this.

    Verified that that's the guy in gift history. Marking as ready.

    Tagged the middleman. Unfortunately, without direct proof of implication, there is no way to implicate "pussyslasher" in this report.
