    What happened? Description:
    It started with me recieving a discord message from someone.

    They said that they accidentally reported my account.
    They also said that the support team wouldn't remove it because they wouldnt listen to him.


    Then I asked him how he is talking to the member of steam support, and he gave me another discord user.

    At first I didn't find it that suspicious, and I fell for the scam.


    This other user pretended to be an admin by the name of jmccaskey.
    They said that to remove the report I had to spend more than I've spent on games, and this could apparently be done on any site as long as it uses my email address. I think..

    It was really fishy..

    But I didn't think it was a scam..


    Then he wanted me to log into an account.. this account is actually his main account and I didn't realise that at first.

    I ended up giving him money... And it was mostly in tradeit.gg

    At one point his "manager" needed to get into my account. I should have knew it was a scam right at this point.

    But I allowed him in. And he rebooted my account, then a day later, I was messaged that I need to once again give money..

    I was confused but I continued.

    Once I gave another 20, they opened my account.

    He consistently comforted me that everything was fine and he would refund the money "100%".



    Then today when I woke up, his Discord name was changed to scammer account, and the other discord user seemed to have not allowed messages from me.

    I felt so let down and betrayed.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I put money into his account. At the time its name was Nate csgo.net.

    If you go on his account and look at previous names, it will show up.

    I put money into it using my debit card.​
