What happened? Description:

Context: I met this player weeks ago during a premier match. We grouped up and played some games together. They made offers for my AK skin a few times the following two weeks. Today, I finally agreed to an offer without realizing they planned to screw me over....

Total value stolen/scammed was approximately $250. A three-stage transaction was created and agreed upon to minimize risk of both parties. Plan is outlined below for context.
**Note: Only steps 1 and 2 may be relevant, as they failed to complete step 2.**
---------
Outline of plan:
1. I would send a Steam Trade offer including MY "Field-Tested AK-47 | Case Hardened" (valued at $650) and THEIR "Field-Tested Stattrak AWP | Asiimov"(valued at $400).

2. They would send me $250 USD via Venmo. (This was not completed

3. After the trade-ban has ended 7 days from now, they would send me $200 via Venmo.

4. I would send a Steam Trade offer including *ONLY* THEIR "Field-Tested Stattrak AWP | Asiimov"(valued at $400).

5. They would send me $200 via Venmo.
----------
If completed, this would result in an exchange whereby they purchase my AK-47 | Case Hardened for $650 USD with no more than 250$ in risk to either party at any point.​

Oh gotcha gotcha yah. I mean it’s pretty chill overall just Venmo. I could send you their docs that ensure it incase fwiw

Excel:
Have you ever used Zelle

[10/26/2023, 1:46 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yeah I can Zelle you too for sure

[10/26/2023, 1:46 AM]
Excel:
Zelle would be better for me. It is a true, instant peer-to-peer transfer.
AFAIK

[10/26/2023, 1:47 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yeah I can do Zelle then I’m down.
It is. It’s bank to bank, no way to charge back or anything

Excel:
Probs. But I want to think about it. I'll commit 100% to yes/no by the weekend.
Like friday nighta t the latest

[10/26/2023, 2:14 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Dang ok, understandable. I’d love to get it off you earlier if possible but if you really need to think go for it
What’s the hold up on?

[10/26/2023, 2:15 AM]
Excel:
Just because It'd be hard to find another
If I regret it later lmao
Old holos x4 ain't common.

[10/26/2023, 2:17 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yeah gotchu. Id do $550 and those skins if you’d be willing to do it now. Just as an added incentive to move it

[10/26/2023, 12:05 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:

[10/26/2023, 12:05 PM]
Excel:

Sorry mate

[10/26/2023, 3:13 PM]

[Yesterday, 6:00 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
yo. I'd offer you $650 cash
Just incase
if that's a moving point

[Yesterday, 6:00 PM]
Excel:
hm

[Yesterday, 6:01 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
And ill toss in this AK I won't use anymore
I just bought this knife and I need to trick my loadout out

[Yesterday, 6:01 PM]
Excel:
I see
Zelle transfer right?

[Yesterday, 6:02 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yessir. Would be zelle.

[Yesterday, 6:03 PM]
Excel:
Okay, strong offer. I will play 1 game and answer for you after.

[Yesterday, 6:04 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Sounds good lmk. Think on it

[Yesterday, 6:16 PM]
Excel:
I think I will pass
BUT

{LINK REMOVED}
Same pattern, just no stickers
but only 521$
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....989/0B089AE07BC0B67FC0A194E97AA4D303720B77DA/

[Yesterday, 6:29 PM]
Excel:
Let me ask you, is it the pattern+float you like? The stickers? If it's the stickers, why these specifically?

[Yesterday, 6:29 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
It’s the combination. All of it.
I won’t be able to get something exactly there
And I’m willing to overpay it

[Yesterday, 6:30 PM]
Excel:
If I agree to the deal, would you accept these two terms:
You send 75% payment first--I've been scammed before, sorry non-negotiable.
After that I'll sent it over, you send the rest after received.
Second, I want you to reach out to me if you decide to sell it later on. First-right-of-refusal basically.

[Yesterday, 6:50 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Ok so first off what does that last thing mean?

[Yesterday, 6:50 PM]
Excel:
Just that

[Yesterday, 6:50 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
I can reach out, but if you don’t want me to sell it you’ll buy it?

[Yesterday, 6:51 PM]
Excel:
You either keep it or sell it back to me
Unless I don't want it
then you can sell whereever

[Yesterday, 6:51 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
What if he’s buying fro like $5k
You’d have to match right
But I’d give you the option

[Yesterday, 6:51 PM]
Excel:
Yes

[Yesterday, 6:51 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
That’s fair

[Yesterday, 6:51 PM]
Excel:
Correct

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Ok and regarding the 75%. You got rep or some sort of way I can go about trusting you on this?

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Excel:
Yes

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
I understand not wanting to go first, but I can’t get screwed here either of.

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Excel:
I will show after the game

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Ofc*
Thanks

[Yesterday, 6:52 PM]
Excel:
no worreis

[Yesterday, 6:56 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Do you have Venmo also? I only ask because it’ll let me pay via credit card.
And I’d prefer that if it’s all the same to you —

[Yesterday, 6:56 PM]
Excel:
hmm

[Yesterday, 6:57 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Can do friends and family Venmo etc..
But if it’s like a deal breaker I’ll do Zelle ofc.

[Yesterday, 6:57 PM]
Excel:
I'll just have to check the policies about chargebacks first

[Yesterday, 6:58 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yes please do. Venmo is the same as Zelle essentially on the guarantees
But do your due diligence obviously

[Yesterday, 7:13 PM]
Excel:
So you want to use a credit card?

[Yesterday, 7:14 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
id prefer to if I could yeah.

[Yesterday, 7:14 PM]
Excel:
What if buy Steam gift cards somewhere?
Should be tax+fee free

[Yesterday, 7:14 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Then I would just rather buy on the steam market at that point.
Just due to safety

[Yesterday, 7:15 PM]
Excel:
I see

[Yesterday, 7:15 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
You feel me right?
Like if I am gonna use steam cards already might as well just buy on steam
but I could def venmo you. Check the rules on it
it's 100% no chargeback
nothing

[Yesterday, 7:16 PM]
Excel:
the 3% isn't an issue for you?

[Yesterday, 7:16 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
But I mean also do you have rep? 75% is a lot up front still --
I have a venmo credit card
It's 0% for me

[Yesterday, 7:16 PM]
Excel:
Yes, I do. Not nessecarily counter strike tho
I have rep from selling magic/yugioh/pokemon cards
I ran a store to pay my college tuition lol

[Yesterday, 7:17 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:

welcome back

[Yesterday, 10:58 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
So what
should we do

[Yesterday, 10:58 PM]
Excel:
I'm gonna check the sticker prices on those sites for you rq
Because there can be additional fees or restrictions

[Yesterday, 11:01 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Ok for sure

[Yesterday, 11:13 PM]
Excel:
Okay so two of the stickers are good priced
other two you can get from steam market at 48.56
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....206/F6D8F6DAEFC27EECA96DF8AACA67191ACFAE4D70/

All of these purchases would be from a business directly, giving you protection, buyer guarentees, etc

[Yesterday, 11:31 PM]
Excel:
All that being said, I will do the same deal we talked about before.

[Yesterday, 11:59 PM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Would you be willing to compromise and do something more reasonable than 75%?

Monday, November 6, 2023

[12:00 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
That's like too much on the line still ya know

[12:16 AM]
Excel:
I getcha
If you want
We can do as $xxx.xx up sent first by you, then do a steam trade for the rest with your other skins
But that might just be the same from your perspective, actually
What if:
(1) you send $250 up-front w/ Zelle.
(2) I send a trade of my AK for your AWP | Asiimov
(3) in a week, I send back your asiimov
(4) you send the remaining 400

[12:28 AM]
Excel:
Technically, I take on more risk this way, but it is delayed. You take on 250$ risk today (zelle first), I take on 400$ risk in 7 days (awp first, zelle second). Biggest downsite is your stattrak will reset.

[12:41 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
I mean it makes sense but why the reason for the downgrade

[12:42 AM]
Excel:
Because it reduces my risk
steam trade is simultaneous
so I have 0$ risk tonight
and you have 250 risk tonigh
t
I also am assuming that you'd rather keep your AWP and not sell.

[12:46 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yeah 100% would rather keep my awp

[12:47 AM]
Excel:
Basically, I am banking on that fact to get the full 650

[12:52 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Here's what id much rather do if you'd be willing. I give you AWP for AK now. Then I send you $250 after. This way you take only $250 risk. Then I will take the awp back off you

[12:53 AM]
Excel:
Hmm
Okay, but you send 250 tonight?

[12:54 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yes.
But just after
So it's the same thing just a little flipped.

[12:54 AM]
Excel:
Then next week, you send the 400$ first? And I send awp after?
Actually, we can do half first half after next week
if you want

[12:57 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
Yeah half and half could work best. So like this let me lay it out.
AWP for AK Now$250 after this now.
Then I send $200
you give me awp
$200

[1:00 AM]
Excel:
Works for me
I'll pull my zelle and venmo for you in a sec

[1:02 AM]
Israel Is T-Sided:
perfect. let me finiosh this game and lets do it
ok lets do it

i sent you one
cause yours wasnt working

[1:35 AM]
Excel:
Should be good now

.

I'm not entirely sure where to find the friend/user activity page you are looking for. I did see this in the historical data from his SteamRep profile. If this doesn't qualify, can you send me a link or instructions for where to look?

Links below for convenience:
https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198970256610?t=1698197157
https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198970256610?t=1698357754

I think I found it, but the results did not appear to contain anything useful... I scrolled to include everything newer than July, but I know for a fact that I met and added them (accused person) during a CS2 match meaning it couldn't have been prior to August.

I also searched the page for my username "Excel" and checked all results newer than Sept. 1st. I didn't include screenshots of that search simply because it is a lot and I don't know how to do it efficiently enough to be appropriate.

However, I have not closed the chat window yet. I am now unable to send them messages though.

Like this?
