    Sorry for the fact that my steam was set to german for until I took the last screenshot.

    Description:
    Basically, this user added me trying to buy my salvaged crate 40 for paypal - I asked him to go first, he then said that he couldn't do that because he just recently has been scammed. I was stupid enough to believe him, as he only had (very little) good rep on his profile and no trade bans on his steamrep page.

    He wanted to buy the crate for 10$, I gave him my email, then traded him the crate and one reclaimed as sweets from my side. After he got the crate, he then said he's sending the money but instead just deleted me. The money hasn't arrived, and I the users behavior suggests that I never will be sent. Also, keep in mind that the last thing I said in the chat was a typo. Instead of 'I sure will, once I got the confirmation its there ' I wanted to say: 'I sure will, once I got the confirmation'.

    If there are any questions, or if there is any request please tell me.

    Copy of the chat:

    Code:
    The Doktor: up
    The Doktor: sup*
    Viva Spy Crab: hey
    Viva Spy Crab: can I buy ur crate with paypal?
    The Doktor: yeah I guess so, but youll have to go first unless you have significant rep
    The Doktor: or we can use a middleman - if you wish
    Viva Spy Crab: nvm then I was trying to get rep, thats y I wanted to trade, but I was recently scammed going first
    Viva Spy Crab: and its too late to use a middle man maybe tomarrow 
    The Doktor: yeah I guess so. If you dont trust me - which is understandable since you recently got scammed, you can of course buy keys from someone with massive amounts of reputation
    Viva Spy Crab: sure
    The Doktor: acctually, whats your offer on the crate?
    The Doktor: I might go first
    Viva Spy Crab: 10 dollars
    The Doktor: tempting.
    The Doktor: Allright, I guess Ill trust you here
    Viva Spy Crab: :D
    The Doktor: gonna check a few things
    Viva Spy Crab: k
    The Doktor: are you able to do the transaction right now?
    Viva Spy Crab: yup
    The Doktor: okay.
    Viva Spy Crab: whats ur email
    The Doktor: [email protected]
    The Doktor: also
    Viva Spy Crab: yus?
    The Doktor: youll have to pay the fees, as usual for buyers
    Viva Spy Crab: ugh
    Viva Spy Crab: ok
    Viva Spy Crab: but can you add some random vintage then?
    The Doktor: I dont really have any vintage to spare, but Ill make the price 9.50
    Viva Spy Crab: I can only pay in 10s its alot easier
    The Doktor: I see. Well I can add some like a rec or so
    Viva Spy Crab: k
    The Doktor: alright then.

    The Doktor: I just accepted.
    Viva Spy Crab: ok sending money
    Viva Spy Crab: enjoy :D
    The Doktor: I sure will, once I got the confirmation its there

    Hello, please:

    Provide the screenshots in a more readable format (.jpg or .png)

    Provide an uncropped version of your trade history (Be sure to hide your account)

    And your paypal history showing you didn't receive the payment.

    My fault, I rendered the pictures into the wrong format. It works properly with these links, sorry for the delay.

    Also, I realised I misspelled the name of the scammer in the chat displayed on my main post, this is because I had to manually write it, as the chat was already closed.

    That would work, an SR admin will investigate this in a while!

    This report is now more than a year old, any chance someone would finally look into it?

    gj taking your time though. Just hurts me seeing this guy now being a high tier trader, completely free of what punishment he should have recieved.

    I guess he sort of got what was coming to him, he got phished. But he could scam again now.
