    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199278318570

    Victim profile: 76561199408002622

    What happened? Description:
    I went into CS:GO trading brand knew and wanted to get into trading, I listed my AK47 Blue Laminate on CS:Float and after a few days I got a steam friend request and an add by the person mentioned above... After a conversation we agreed on a set price for my AK47 which was 20€. I sent him my paypal name and he confirmed this was me by taking a screen shot of my account and then I told him that yes this was indeed me. We did some more talking then I sent the steam trade offer over to him, he accepted and said he had sent the money over and that It would take 2minutes for me too see my money on paypal. After this he removed me as a friend so I went to the people he had added on his friends list on steam and told them to beware that this person is a scammer and that he had never sent the money over. I got in contact with one of his friends and he talked to both of us trying to figure out the situation. He then added me back on steam once more to call me an idiot and try to make himself look like the victim exclaiming that It was my fault that he sent the money to the wrong account after he had just screenshot my account and we both confirmed that this in fact was me. I trusted this man because of the steam comments... he had multiple +rep comments and even one from a big youtuber called Neon. I then said to him 'I trust you because Neon signed your account' and he went on to say that Neon was 'his buddy' so that made me feel even more so trustworthy of him. This was just before I sent the trade offer over to him. After a week he was still saying to his friends were still in contact with him trying to get him to send back the skin or too send the money as agreed. He explained to his friends(the people I contacted on his steam profile) that he would send the money and or the skin so I was always left with a glimmer of hope but then one day I was looking through CS:Float and I found my AK47 for sale for 21€ which is close to the amount we agreed on.
    It took my a long time because I was figuring out how to do everything, how to use this website, how to report people, how to do everything... I am pretty new to steam so a lot of help was needed to figure how to properly report this person for scamming me.​

    Provide Evidence:

    First off first - you haven't read everything properly on how to submit the report.

    Next - having your friends make reports here for you is unacceptable and spam reporting that they did won't be tolerated so spread that word.
    https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/

    Now - all your photos/evidence is unacceptable except for the single one you managed to upload to the report- we do not review evidence of images hosted on 3rd party hosting sites like Discord...must all be hosted HERE to the report so upload them on next reply with a response of yes you understand the above - ONLY upload them do not embed them.

    HOWEVER - FIRST before you do anything else or upload any more images.
    You need to follow the post below to confirm identity to the accused. You must complete this FIRST before anything or any more images are added to this report.

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide to help you:

    I will redo the entire report and read it correctly, I did not have my friends do it for me, these were people I had messaged and warned about said scammer, they did that on their own will... They told me about his website after they had done the reports. I had no idea this website even existed

    Read the part I made bold and underlined - you gotta show the ID64 of the usersname
    Read that link also it shows examples even on the guide.

    I cannot see him in my friend activity because he blocked me. His name does not appear anywhere in my friend activity because of this.

    What can I do about this... he has me blocked so he doesnt appear in my friends list

    Will allow 24hours for you to provide evidence to verify the users identity, blocking someone doesn't prove that. I could block you and still get that same message even if I didn't talk to you.
    I gave you a method there may be others that is upon you to show..nothing on my end or anything I can find will give me this verification.
    Sorry but that is policy without verifying the accused to show clearly you were in contact with this exact user during this event/time frame we can not/will not review it.
    For all we know you are reporting someone that was impersonated or the wrong user by accident.
    I'm sure you would be unhappy if someone reported you by accident or based only on username/profile image without verifying properly by ID64.

    If I already showed you dms of us messaging then you should be able to see that we were friends as to message someone on steam both people have to accept a friend request

    The way you told me to prove that we were once friends doesnt work because HE has ME blocked not the other way around, he scammed me and then blocked me after, if there is another way for me to prove to you that we were friends then please let me know.

    Name/Profile image does not clear it up
    Example:
    https://steamcommunity.com/search/users/#text=doge
    There are thousands of users using that name/profile image close to and many exactly.
    We can not go off that alone - you must verify by STEAMID ID64 etc. This is the only way.
    I'm still allowing the time given to provide proper verification.
    If you do not wish to proceed because you can not properly verify you can simply advise and will review report as is.

    Can you send me an example image because just saying the word STEAMID ID64 doesnt explain how to do it

    every steam account is a STEAM ID
    This is your SR profile block which contains not only user name but your ID64, ID32 and more
    | steamname: featured
    | steam3ID: [U:1:1447736894]

    Ok? We have that when you make the report - that isn't what I'm asking for.
    Apparently you do not understand.
    https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/
    That shows examples of a MOUSE OVER of a user name on steam that will show the users ID64 at the bottom of the screen.
    If you can not find the user on your friends activity list then you can't get this.
    I'm still going to allow you time to see if you have any other methods to provide identity.
    I'm afraid I can not assist you much more beyond this without going back and forth. The burden of proof is yours.

    That is a users profile...proves nothing here.
    This is what I asked for
    Again - that is all I can assist you with and giving you the remainder of the time to response once more with what is requested.
