    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198418111363

    Victim profile: 76561198243996726

    What happened? Description:
    This user is falsely impersonating a middleman, and is working together with other scammers. A user named "John f✿✿✿in' Wick" added me last week offering to buy some of my CS:GO items through PayPal. My items were not tradeable then, but they were today. Today he offered to use a Reddit middleman for security purposes. He provided a link to a Reddit whitelist of approved CS:GO middlemen. However, I now believe the link was illegitimate, and instead led me to a list of fraudulent middlemen. One of these fake middlemen was a user by the name of "Fizzliz". We agreed to use him as our middleman.

    After agreeing to trade items to this "John f✿✿✿in' Wick", Fizzliz created a group chat between me, him, and John f✿✿✿in' Wick. In the group chat, John f✿✿✿in' Wick and I explained the terms of our agreement to Fizzliz, and then I made the trade to him. Fizzliz confirmed that my trade went through, and then both users banned me. They banned me from the group chat before I could take any screenshots of it, but I did take screenshots that show I was banned from the chat and that both users blocked me immediately after I made the trade. I also have included screenshots of my PayPal Activity History to show the absence of a transfer.

    I lost $117 in items today. It disgusts me that someone who has put so much time into their Steam account would dare to stoop so low. Both of them.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Multiple screenshots of my chats with both users, screenshots of trade history, PayPal history, etc.​

    This is NOT the first user you should be reporting - You basically reported the other user that was brought into the scam event. You must make sure from now on you report the FIRST user you were contacted by and who started the scam..you only need to reference any other accounts involved and describe HOW they were involved in the description by including the FULL SR profile block along with details of how they were involved.
    Also include any and all FULL screenshots you have as evidence.
    Please do not resubmit a new report - this one will do for now.

    Exactly - why didn't you see that and just ignore the user rather than deal with them if they were already banned/tagged here?

    I checked the validity of the false middleman on SteamRep, but not the first user I was contacted by. I guess I just assumed that since the profile had 16 years on Steam it was legit. Last time I make that mistake.

    Yep you assumed wrong... we can't just tag everyone and those like yourself don't bother to look at them or ignore them.
    See what I mean? We can tag the users all day long but unless you take the time to research them properly the tags are worthless.
    Follow next set of instructions:

    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History showing for sure the trade in question(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. 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!

    Also please review this screenshot guide should you require assistance:

    The John user was tagged multiple times already so nothing more will be done to them... check users out next time and avoid them if possible...the tags are there for a reason.
    Report them BOTH to Valve right now if you haven't yet also.
    I'll review this again soon.
