    GoodGravy: http://dota2traders.com/threads/76561197993457741-goodgravys-reputation-thread.30908/
    GoodGravy: my rep thread
    GoodGravy: do you have a rep thread?
    Sir Pent of Snake: sadly no :(
    Sir Pent of Snake: BUT
    Sir Pent of Snake: I have a profile rep?
    Sir Pent of Snake: 55 entries?
    Sir Pent of Snake: and 20 share the loves on outpost
    GoodGravy: yeah thats not enough....
    Sir Pent of Snake: and 135 games on my steam account
    Sir Pent of Snake: :p
    GoodGravy: profile rep can be fake
    Sir Pent of Snake: yeah true but its not...
    Sir Pent of Snake: im not really sure how to prove it to you though :/
    GoodGravy: but think of it from me point of view....do i know?
    Sir Pent of Snake: i know i fully understand :/
    GoodGravy: would you be willing to go first?
    Sir Pent of Snake: like when money is involved, i completely get that you can't trust me
    Sir Pent of Snake: like i feel the same in all honesty :p
    GoodGravy: considering i have 2 pages of rep you have none
    Sir Pent of Snake: oh wow yeah i would definately go first
    Sir Pent of Snake: looks like you have a lot of paypal trading experience
    GoodGravy: lol?
    Sir Pent of Snake: yeah i've been wanting to cash out parts of my backpack for a while
    Sir Pent of Snake: but everyone whos offered, has offers that are too good to be true with no rep, etc etc...
    GoodGravy: becuase they are scmmers.
    Sir Pent of Snake: like they said ok to any price that i gave them, even if it was absurd
    GoodGravy: im here to make a profit
    Sir Pent of Snake: but yeah I would actually consider verfiying and selling to you
    Sir Pent of Snake: as is anybody :p
    Sir Pent of Snake: so yeah I think I can do this :)
    GoodGravy: so just to check, $120 Paypal, you pay fee?
    GoodGravy: or me?
    Sir Pent of Snake: im just curious if rep threads can be fake too
    Sir Pent of Snake: like im sure this is all real
    GoodGravy: fair enough...but you have to sign in through your steam account...
    Sir Pent of Snake: but im just being safe :p
    GoodGravy: so you would have to basically make heeps and heeps of accounts
    Sir Pent of Snake: lol yeah true
    Sir Pent of Snake: and its pretty obvious if theyre fake accounts
    GoodGravy: = the website viewing all the ip adresses and banning your ip
    GoodGravy: if it comes up saying 10 people signed in on same ip
    GoodGravy: kinda sus
    GoodGravy: lol
    Sir Pent of Snake: lol
    Sir Pent of Snake: okay i can do this
    Sir Pent of Snake: but could we do it in 2 transactions?
    GoodGravy: ok, could you give me a sec
    Sir Pent of Snake: like just the beret first just to try it out?
    GoodGravy: i'm pretty causious of doing 2 transactions
    Sir Pent of Snake: and lets make sure were on the same page with prices and everyting first :)
    Sir Pent of Snake: oh?
    GoodGravy: just becuase paypal might think i have stolen the credit card or something
    Sir Pent of Snake: whys that?
    GoodGravy: they see alot of transactions going to same person
    GoodGravy: dont you thinks thats strange?
    Sir Pent of Snake: ah makes sense
    GoodGravy: why not just one...?
    Sir Pent of Snake: yeah i get it
    Sir Pent of Snake: ok yeah i could do just one then
    GoodGravy: ok, just let me finish my game
    GoodGravy: and ill jump straight on PP
    Sir Pent of Snake: i just don't want to send away $150 worth of stuff in one transaction :p
    Sir Pent of Snake: but thats fine
    Sir Pent of Snake: i just need to finish setting up and verifying my account so hopefully it shouldnt take too long
    GoodGravy: alrighty sure thing.
    Sir Pent of Snake: and just a question, what do you do with all of the stuff that you buy in paypal?
    GoodGravy: me?
    Sir Pent of Snake: cause your backpacks are both pretty empty
    GoodGravy: personally?
    Sir Pent of Snake: just curious :p
    GoodGravy: sell it
    Sir Pent of Snake: ah okay
    GoodGravy: i do it to make a prfit
    GoodGravy: profit*
    Sir Pent of Snake: so like you'd sell my stuff for $150 later?
    GoodGravy: i know i can make on your items :p
    Sir Pent of Snake: that kind of thing?
    GoodGravy: yeah, it depends
    Sir Pent of Snake: ok makes sense
    GoodGravy: i know both hats are in demand

    GoodGravy: yeah true

    Description:
    The guy added me, coming from tf2 outpost. He said he wanted to buy 2 hats and a pair of buds for paypal cash transaction and had arranged the price of $125 for the items. Initial contact was made on March 9. I believed that he was reputable based on his dota 2 trading rep (which I found out afterwards, he had been inpersonating another, reputable GoodGravy: http://dota2traders.com/threads/76561197993457741-goodgravys-reputation-thread.30908/). I had not set up a paypal account by then, so I had to wait a few days to verfiy. We were both online on March 17, when the steam trade was conducted. In the minutes that followed, he claimed to have sent the money and immediately went offline and blocked me. I hope that I can get my valuable items back somehow, but if not I hope he can be marked so no one else will be scammed.

    Hello, could you provide:
    1.) A screenshot of your inventory history showing that you traded him your items (just to show that you completed the trade).
    2.) A screenshot of your paypal history showing that you never recieved your payment?

    Thanks, also sorry for your loss

    Has this thread been investigated yet? Let me know if I need to provide anymore information. I don't want this scammer going free with two unusuals and a pair of buds. And again, I'd like to thank the steam rep admins for their hard work and I hope this gets investigated shortly :)
