    Someone tried to scam me recently using the skin swap method. I'd like to report this guy as I might have enough proof,

    I have proof of:
    Chatlogs
    Him blocking me after I told him it turned into a battle scarred weapon.

    You can see if someone blocked you by trying to trade with them.

    Unless you have screenshots of the chat you can't prove anything also if you were the one sending the offer your the one putting items into the trade and not the other user.
    AND keep in mind you need to lay out the full agreement as in exact item name, float, condition etc.. in csgo just saying "AK" doesn't cut it...
