Victim profile: 76561198045403869

What happened? Description:

I placed an arcana on the market and was added by a user looking to purchase it directly from me instead. I already blocked many people like this before but I would give a chance to this user, don't ask me why.

The steam account i'm actually reporting isnt the one who added me, it was this account :
| steamname: ✞ Pacify 乡
| steam3ID: [U:1:8827900]
| steamID32: STEAM_0:0:4413950
| steamID64: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969093628
| customURL: https://steamcommunity.com/id/BuyingResellingItems
| steamrep: https://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197969093628

After some talks, and i don't know why, he suggested me to add his "main account" (the one I'm actually reporting). Because i cared about my safety, I came here to check both of his steam profils.

And I just found that the account he added me with just get banned here. So... because it is the same user on both profils i guess my report is legit. He deleted me from his friend list on his firt account (Pacify) after he talked to me with the second (main = Vintage Shader).

Important to know : He didn't scam me but I won't try, too suspicious. The reason why he get banned on his first profil (Pacify) seems legit.


(english isn't my first language, tried my best to be as clear as possible)​

Provide Evidence:

The user who added me was already verified to be a scammer and is actually banned here since yesterday :

The user wanted to make the deal with an other account from him :

https://steamrep.com/search?q=76561197969089707
(evidence on screenshot n°4+5)

One guy with two accounts, one is banned, I guess the other one should be too.​

Because of my bad english I'm not sure if I'm really clear but, by his own words it is the same user with 2 steam accounts.

I hope it is how the screenshot should be.

Ok i see.
I'm actually accusing anyone to be a scammer, and i didnt get scammed.

I'm actually trying to tell you (or even prove you) that an user who get banned yesterday has an other account and is trying to keep his activities on.

Because he deleted me from his friend list on his first account, I can only show you the chat i had with him and when he asked me to add his other account.
(on the left of the last screenshot there i a chat log with the first guy)

I am not even doing this for me or to recover anything, because i didn't get scammed, I am reporting this for the community, to prevent or alert people.

Anyway, I'm still talking to the user (logged with the "Vintage Shader" account) and he just send me the same fake middleman link you saw yesterday here : https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561197969093628-dota2-dota2-items.187997/

just did a screeshot

thats the link he just gave me : https://steamcommunity.com/groups/dota2itemstraders/discussions/0/1741103267289134524/

Here is the middleman he is asking me to add.

middleman list : https://steamcommunity.com/groups/dota2itemstraders/discussions/0/1741103267289134524/

middleman suggested : https://steamrep.com/search?q=OfficialJ_ECHO

He changed the middleman, but using the exact same strategy saw here : https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561197969093628-dota2-dota2-items.187997/

Unless you tell me "steamuserimages" is safe I will not open the link.

Ok so.... because i didnt want to add his middleman, he was forced to add me.

Here is a screenshot of it.

therse no scam here, i just recommended legit MM not the fact he asking some friends as middlemans

he asking me to send they money first then ill got nothing ? LOL

I have screenshoted all of our discussion, i can send more if needed.
I was clear on all points:
He didn't scam me yet but he was very suspicious. There is more imformed people than me who can judge if he was trying to scam me, and being a scammer, or not.

I just want a fair trade, for the price we were ok, if it happens I'll make it known.
Otherwise i think i was right to do the report.


He actually seems to not want to trade anymore, i might be wrong, will see.
Unlike what he just said here and, as i said to him, i'm open to any safe trade, but certainly not with his own very suspicious middleman.

(sorry if bad english)

Almost all of our chat history is here, only with the account I have reported.
(even if i suspect this account, the other account and the middleman to be, all 3 of them, the same user).

Now we have access to all of our chat history during 2 weeks with steam, so, because i have already used a lot of time with this report and because i think it is enough, i'll provide more screenshot only if needed.

Sorry if i failed some of them
I can remake them... but it takes time... and i already wasted too much time trying to make a fair trade.

I still have him on my steam friend list, and i'll keep him until he decide to make a trade or not. I let him 1 week then i'll delete him no matter what.
The other 2 accounts are already not in my friend list anymore.

7 more

Just in case :
- a groupchat he invited me in with the suspicious middleman. (He left the group chat after i was faking to not understand how it works and where to find it)
- chat with the suspicious middleman

As you can see i wasnt really fast to respond to his questions because the report was already made and i was, at the same time, trying to figuring out how do make the screenshots as you asked me + making the report as it should be, while trying my best to deal with the english.

I already proved that i was friend with 2 of the 3 accounts i am talking to with the screenshots named "6" and "9".
I didn't make a screenshot in time for the other one but it is fine since he is already banned.

And i don't know if all my last screenshots (from "a" to "z") are good for you or not, but I just found this way https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog to provide more evidence of what I am saying.
Just tell me if it is needed, or if you have enough evidences for the 2 accounts I'm actually reporting :

Could be fine if you have enough proofs, i have already used so much time on it.
Sorry if my messages or screenshots weren't clear, but i was doing the report and chatting (trying to trade) at the same time.
First time doing it, was in the hurry and tried to do the best possible.

I am repeating myself : i didn't get scammed but i think they tried to scam me, you are more informed than me to judge it.
I didn't want to finish the trade to be sure it was a scam lol. And i hope this report will prevent some other people to be scammed.


ps : A middleman with a 15 years old account, with (worthless) +rep starting the january 10 at 3.16pm. All those +rep at the same date and exact same hour... You can find the same thing on the other account... doesnt prove anything but yeah.
Don't know if i need to say more but I think he changed his mind about the trade, surprisingly he is not hurry anymore and I'm still waiting him for a good trade.
