    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198186135143

    Victim profile: 76561198085434922

    What happened? Description:
    I was planning to cash out my tf2 inventory by selling my 4 unusuals:

    Strange Unusual Rotation Sensation
    Dead Presidents Antlers
    Aces High Virtual Viewfinder
    It's a Secret to Everyone Trophy Belt

    I was going to sell to Varona:
    | steamname: Varona
    | steam3ID: [U:1:4121415]
    | steamID32: STEAM_0:1:2060707
    | steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964387143
    | customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/VaronasGotTalent
    | steamrep: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197964387143

    We both agreed to sell through SkinXChange (www.skinxchange.com). This is where Ansonia comes in. The accused party Ansonia is an admin on on this website. Thus, he can sell items without having to pay the tax fee. Ansonia knew Varona and offered to evade the tax fee. She had to pay him a fee, that was significantly less than the tax fee, for him to do this. All I had to do was give him the 4 unusuals and he would list them on SkinXChange. Thus, I wouldn't have to pay the tax fee. Varona would then pay him the "service" fee for evading the tax fee. and proceed to buy the 4 unusuals off of the SkinXChange website. The total sum of money that I was selling the 4 unusuals for was $1200. After Varona bought the items for $1200 total on SkinXChange, Ansonia said he would transfer the $1200 to me through paypal. However, none of this happened because Ansonia ended up unfriending and blocking me and Varona. Everything is in the screenshots of the chats. Ansonia didn't want me to tell people that he was helping evade the tax fee. That was before he scammed me. Also, Varona had deposited 1200 dollars into SkinXChange to buy my items. However, after Ansonia decided to scam us, he removed the 1200 dollars from Varona's SkinXxChange balance. So, Varona lost a lot in this too. Please tell me if you need any more information, I really want my items back. He also needs to return the 1200 dollars in paypal cash he stole from Varona.

    There are more than 15 screenshots, so have uploaded all of them to imgur:

    Varona also had his full name and email, so I emailed him and told him to return the items or transfer $1200 through paypal. If he didn't, I told him that I would report him or possibly seek legal counsel.

    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History for last few days to present (NOT TRADE OFFER!!)- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload.

    How long does it take for an admin to usually reply?

    Sometimes it takes awhile for anyone to get back to a report as there are quite literally thousands of them active. You don't edit posts here, just report the post in question and add what you want done to the report.

    I was busy.... but I've checked over report - concluded it.
    Make sure to report BOTH users to Valve also - as it would appear both were involved.
    In order to do that, you have to:
    1. Visit the accuseds profile
    2. Click MORE drop-down located at the top right of the page
    3. Choose REPORT VIOLATION
    4. Select the violation, then describe it and provide the evidence
    5. Click SUBMIT REPORT
