    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198970399375

    Victim profile: 76561198243996726

    What happened? Description:
    The screenshots tell the whole story. This user added me to his friends list after I played a competitive match with him. Gained my trust and continued to play with me for a couple weeks- even voice chatted with me- then offered to buy my Falchion Knife Doppler Phase 2 (FN) off of me. I thought about it for a while. He showed me his Cashrep, which was full of positive comments. He also had 4 years of experience on Steam. Because of these Cashrep comments and his Steam experience, I agreed to make the exchange. I went first. He accepted the trade, but never clicked my PayPal link. He immediately blocked me and deleted his comments on my profile and Cashrep. He then traded my knife away for a Butterfly Knife Scorched. After I left a very long and very upset comment on his Cashrep, he deleted it entirely and made a new one. I commented the same thing on this new Cashrep, and when he realized that I was just going to keep posting about his malicious scamming activity on his Cashrep, he actually unblocked me and tried to get me to join his Discord so he could "explain what happened." I didn't feel comfortable conversing on the same account (I had blocked him too), so I used my brother's computer to message him through Steam. I said that whatever he wanted to say over Discord, he could say in Steam. He made up a couple stories throughout our conversation, changing them whenever he realized they didn't logically hold up. When I mentioned that Steam keeps chat logs for 2 weeks, he immediately left the conversation and blocked my brother's account too. I did some research on his profile. Turns out, he is in a group of scammers disguised as a CS:GO team. The group is called KalibrFang. All of the positive comments on his (now deleted) Cashrep were members of this group. I messaged one of them, who instantly started talking about the scam before I even introduced myself, but I didn't screenshot that conversation- just the ones I had with the person who directly scammed me. I just don't want others to fall victim to this group too (or at least, this particular person).​

    Provide Evidence:
    The screenshots with the smaller Steam chat window (in-game) are taken on my main computer and contain the original conversation we had. The screenshots that show a much larger (full-screen) chat window are the ones I took after the scam happened, and those were the ones taken on my brother's computer. I think they speak for themselves. At one point, the user is even making fun of the fact I got scammed, rubbing it in my face.​

Also need a screen shot of your Paypal ACTIVITY (not Summary) for several days beginning with the date before this trade..full screen DO NOT edit this shot in anyway. Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    No, they are full-screen. I have the Windows taskbar set to auto-hide. If you like I can take the screenshots again with auto-hide off.
