Accepted Report: 76561197961524342 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

Report Type: [Money] Other cash fraud (webmoney, bitcoin, etc)
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561197961524342

Victim profile: 76561198062739761

What happened? Description:

I posted a comment on a known traders page telling them I was interested in selling my inventory for cash, and a day or two later I was added by a few different people. SevenStars was the highest level player among them, so I chose to trade with him instead because the original person I was going to ask simply did not accept my friend request. We chose to complete the payment over cashapp because I was simply not interested in spending time selling keys, and he agreed. He sent me a $5 test payment to check if it worked, and afterwards I traded my items. He has since set his profile to offline to try and pretend that he's away, but he's posted screenshots of a different game and has had other comments posted on his profile since then so I know he's just trying his best to avoid me.​

SevenStars:
Hey! I was wondering if you were still selling your backpack.

[Thursday 7:00 PM]
chief longbottom:
yea, i'm looking for cash though, not keys etc

[Thursday 7:05 PM]
SevenStars:
Do you take crypto currency? Or....?

[Thursday 7:06 PM]
chief longbottom:
ah idk how that would even work, sorry.

[Thursday 7:06 PM]
SevenStars:
Ah okay don't sweat it.
I wasn't sure. I have a lot of Ethereum and Bitcoin so I figured that's practically the same thing.
How did you want to sell it?

[Thursday 7:08 PM]
chief longbottom:
this may sound like an odd request but would you be able to cashapp it?

[Thursday 7:08 PM]
SevenStars:
I have cashapp but I'm not sure it still works or if its using a my old card.
I'm in a game right now but I'll message you in a sec once I'm done!

[Thursday 7:09 PM]
chief longbottom:
take your time, i'm raiding on wow atm.

[Thursday 7:23 PM]
SevenStars:
Okay, I think I've figured out what to do.
So apparently cashapp does have a bitcoin section, it's just a really bad conversion.
I'll move bitcoin into it, sell it, and use that to pay you if we end up doing the trade.
OR I could send you the bitcoin on cashapp and you could sell it on your end.
Would you do $180 for it?
That's exactly .0038 btc which is perfect for me, I think it'll be like $2.50~ fee to convert on cashapp to USD.
Just let me know what you want to do!

[Thursday 7:28 PM]
chief longbottom:
could you do $200? you'll still profit $60

[Thursday 7:29 PM]
SevenStars:
I could meet you halfway at $192.50 which should also cover the cashapp fee. Is that fair?
And if for whatever reason it costs more to convert or you have something other fee on your end, I'll send you more (as long as its under like $10) to cover that.

[Thursday 7:32 PM]
chief longbottom:
that should be good! could you sell the btc on your end and pay with cash?

[Thursday 7:33 PM]
SevenStars:
I can yeah.
I need your cashapp tag, right?

[Thursday 7:41 PM]
chief longbottom:
yep! $MaksimKravets

[Thursday 7:43 PM]
SevenStars:
Do I have to put the dollar sign?
Is it okay if I send you $5 or so first before you send the trade so we can make sure this actually works?
It would be kind of awkward if we did the trade and then it didn't lol

[Thursday 7:45 PM]
chief longbottom:
Yeah you do need the dollar sign, and sure
also, your profile is private so I can't request any trades
or your inventory, rather

[Thursday 7:48 PM]
SevenStars:
I just sent the $5. Can you check to see if it went through?

[Thursday 7:48 PM]
chief longbottom:
Yeah, I got it!

[Thursday 7:48 PM]
SevenStars:
It should be public now.
Was there any fees?

[Thursday 7:49 PM]
chief longbottom:
No it was exactly $5, the fee is only when you instantly deposit.

[Thursday 7:49 PM]
SevenStars:
Ah okay that's perfect then. It went through instantly on my end.
You can send the trade, I'm gonna convert the rest of my BTC into USD while you do that.
Oh and if you can, don't bother adding the normal unique weapons. You can keep them!

[Thursday 7:50 PM]
chief longbottom:
I was just about to ask lol

[Thursday 7:50 PM]
SevenStars:
Hahahaha
I'm just going to convert most of the valued/market into CS:GO keys once I can, so its not like I need them.
I'm just waiting now for it to convert. Let me know when the trade is sent!

[Thursday 7:53 PM]
chief longbottom:
I have a few more pages to add in and then i'll wait for the cashapp - i'll let you know once it's done and waiting on 2fa

[Thursday 7:53 PM]
SevenStars:
Take your time. It's still converting on my end.

[Thursday 7:55 PM]
chief longbottom:
alright, trade has been sent and is waiting on my 2fa
i need to do a pull in raid real quick so one sec haha

[Thursday 7:55 PM]
SevenStars:
Okay. Let me know when its sent.
I'm actually still waiting, but I'm not going to confirm it until I have the money in my cashapp account ready to send.

[Thursday 7:55 PM]
chief longbottom:
win-win haha

[Thursday 8:00 PM]
SevenStars:
Okay. It just went through.
Waiting on the trade now. Just message me when it's confirmed.
I guess your raid started D:

[Thursday 8:08 PM]
chief longbottom:
yeah, i'm tanking and this is progression so I don't get many chances to alt tab and do this
would you be doing okay with 50% before and 50% after?
would you be okay with doing***

[Thursday 8:09 PM]
SevenStars:
I'm kind of going off the value of everything in bulk. I'm not going to run off with your stuff if that's what you're worried about.
It would suck more for me if I paid for half your stuff and you backed out. Does that make sense?

[Thursday 8:09 PM]
chief longbottom:
I meant that you would pay me 50% now, I would trade everything, and you would trade the rest of the cash after.

[Thursday 8:11 PM]
SevenStars:
I can't really afford to take chances on that. It's nothing personal but I've been ripped off on risky trades before.
I promise I'm genuinely trying to buy your stuff and I think the price I offered is reasonable. I'll pay once I've received the trade and everything is in it.
I'm pretty sure you also have my full name and stuff from my previous cashapp payment too if that's any reassurance haha
I have some friends bugging me to get on and play a match so just let me know if we're going to go through or not when you can.

[Thursday 8:16 PM]
chief longbottom:
After this pull D:

[Thursday 8:16 PM]
SevenStars:
I'll wait a bit.

[Thursday 8:20 PM]
chief longbottom:

[Thursday 8:20 PM]
SevenStars:
Sure. One sec.

chief longbottom:

SevenStars:
Can you give me a second to make sure everything is in there?
