    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561197982958924

    Victim profile: 76561198208395913

    What happened? Description:
    Reached out in a trading group with a trade offer saying add me to agree on a trade, the scammer had one previous report on this site but that was old and had very little evidence leading me to believe this a false accusation. The trader acted as if they were the middle man for bit skins, in short trading with them would allow me to get cheaper skins from bitskins immediately, they would profit by selling my skins for a little more in the long term. They provided screenshots from their bitskins account showing a balance of a few thousand dollars and assured me that they would not scam me as it would not be worth getting banned for such a comparitavely small transaction. I sent the trade and they promised to change their bitskins URL so the trade would be sent to me for the knife we had agreed on. They recieved the trade for my whole inventory and blocked me, preventing me from commenting on the profile. I hope that this report will destroy this scammers account, one of the main pieces of trust I had was that the scammer had 13 years of service and a well configured profile, so being reported on here and hopefully also tradebanned by valve, I hope to set this scammer back in time. It was a particularly clever scam, and as someone who is so wary of scams normally and had thought this trader to be legitimate I am mostly upset at how idiotic it has made me feel.​

    @JViation You do realize this user was already banned/tagged here and has been for over 500 days right?
    There is absolutely nothing more we can really do to them already being tagged.

    @Horse I do realise that, what is the additional evidence I need. I am reporting because his scam relies on that being an old report which I was unable to access the evidence for and that it was merely a random reporting him for no reason, this is why I wanted it updated.

    You need to be logged in to see but either way regardless they already have a tag - we can't just add another tag...understand? It really doesn't make no difference for this report vs that other one. If I accept this all I'm going to do is add another note and that is the last report we will review for this user and any more will be archived on the spot. Valve is the ones you need to report to.
    Either way - ignoring the report, not logging into see the evidence is one thing but just ignoring the tag they already had was a risk you took nothing much can be said there just making you aware of the situation as our goal here is to educate.
    Now what were you supposed to receive for your items because you didn't state the formal agreement in the description?
