Scam Report

Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
Virtual item type involved: [Other] Other game items

Accused profile: 76561197963522497

Victim profile: 76561198069677106

What happened? Description:

The scammer is WordHippo. He acted as the middleman for a mobile game account sale. He was introduced by the buyer. His profile has some comments with good reputation, so I had no reason to distrust him.

I handed over my game account information to WordHippo and he secured the account for the buyer by changing the password and e-mail to the account. Ever since that happened, the buyer has lost contact and stopped replying to messages. Now, 2 days later, WordHippo is still hanging onto my account. I have contact him via Steam and Discord asking for my account back, but he has ignored me. Now, he has removed my negative comments I left on his Steam profile and has not replied to any of my messages. I have reported him to Steam and hopefully here as well to warn others.​
