    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198196167305

    Victim profile: 76561198124192634

    What happened? Description:
    The accused added me from a trade on CSGOLounge and said he has funds on OPSkins.com to buy a knife which he could then "trade" for my knife in return. I went along with it and played it out for a little bit to see if this was legitimate.

    He asked me a question - "are you sure you want to do this trade?" I replied saying "yea" and he said something like "i just wanted to make sure so that you don't back out on the trade before I buy this knife"

    So I went along with it and waited for him to buy this knife, he then says after about 5 minutes of me waiting that "can you just send me a trade offer of your knife and then I will counter-offer with the knife I bought just incase you decline" or something like that.

    Then I knew that he was using the 'Counter-Offer Scam Method' and that he tried to scam my £220 knife.

    I just blocked him after and reported him to Steam and now I'm doing this report. I also have something else to state. Whilst me and the accused were discussing the trade, some random person sent me a trade offer of their cheap £2 item for my knife, I declined of course and looked at his profile and just ignored him, but then I found that the accused commented on the person's profile who sent that scammy trade offer to me and they were friends and they were +repping eachother, so I thought I would also add that guy's Steam Identifier Block down below too here:

    The full chat window uncropped.

    The chat window minimized next to my friends list to prove I was the victim.

    Evidence that the two people were friend's with each other and that they were planning to scam me.

    Activity showing me and the accused added each other.

    The two friend's +rep comments on both of their profiles from both of them.

    @Psyche Claus
    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your activity - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in anyway!

    Yep that's what I need. On a side note - not concerned with the +rep by friends not something we look at anymore.
