What happened? Description:

He messaged me on one of my images I posted on the Steam community, offering me to trade for my full Steam inventory. I messaged him, he wanted to offer $3500 for the unusuals and valuable strange items in my inventory and I considered it. Afterwards, he sent me a $2 payment on Paypal testing the link I sent him, I accepted the trade offer he made, he said he would send the money, and then unfriended me on Steam and blocked me. Please do investigate this guy or something.​

Provide Evidence:

Chat1-10 are the chat logs between me and Kevit0
trade and paypal are the images of the trade offer he sent me and the test paypal transaction of $2 he did with me at first
profile is his profile after clicking his name in the chat logs and unfriend is image to show he unfriended me after scamming me​

Hey there

[9:53 AM]
kevit0:
You added me regarding my offer correct?

[10:04 AM]
kevit0:
Let me know, assuming you’re running invisible mode

[10:40 AM]
kevit0:
? Can also chat on discord if you prefer

[4:24 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
hi yea sorry i've been running invisible for awhile now bhaha
actually while my tf2 inventory does mean alot to me cause i still play from time to time i could use the money tho lol
so i am a liittle interested in ur offer
are u ok if i sell you just a couple things from my inventory tho? like certain unusuals and stuff if i'm not willing to part with my whole inventory

[4:30 PM]
kevit0:
Sure, like were you looking to keep sentimental Stranges and stuff?

[4:32 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
moostly my pyro items and some other funny ones i have haha

[4:34 PM]
kevit0:
Well most of the stuff are pyro haha so I need you to be a bit more specific like if it’s one of the Unusuals shouldn’t be an issue at all
Do you recall how much the original offer was?

[4:36 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
ah pfff it's basically just the ones i have on my item showcase
other than the crone's dome idm selling that off
u offered like $3300 right?
so i'm fine with just minusing what i wanna keep from that number

[4:38 PM]
kevit0:
Yeah, would you be open to sell it all besides the flamethrower, scotch shot, axe and pyro misc that is in your showcase and I’ll do $4000 total. Because to be honest the pyromancers and the Cat’s Panama’s are most of the valid in what I offered
Would that sound more fair to you?

[4:40 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
oh you mean you wanted to buy the pyro cosmetics too?
i was intending on keeping those as well actually

[4:42 PM]
kevit0:
No like so I’ll do $4000 for the pyro mask, cats, racc Mann, head warmer, Australiums scatter, Australiums knife, and all of the unusual taunts. Rest you get to keep including the cats pajamas since I see that you got them as a gift
So you keep all the cosmetics in general, skins, regular taunts, regular hats/cosmetics, cats pajamas, mvm tickets, weapons, etc.
So you get to keep everything that’s in the showcase I guess but the pyro mask
And also what payment method were you after? PayPal or?
Does that work for ya?

[4:50 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
hmm give me a sec to think about it

[4:50 PM]
kevit0:
Sure

[5:01 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
hmm ok sure i'll do it
just curious tho where'd you find my profile from at first?
i've been out of the trading scene for awhile and i haven't been active in tf2 much either

[5:03 PM]
kevit0:
there are a bunch of old/newish trading websites that have a snapshot of your inventory and i usually buy inventories from people who aren't really active anymore and just want money to use irl or just don't really care about the game anymore so they just wanna cash out to pay bills and stuff like that
and awesome, does paypal work for you?
and payment works in USD correct?

[5:05 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
ahhh icic
yea paypal in usd would be fine

[5:05 PM]
kevit0:
cool cool
i can set up the trade offer, mind sending me your paypal email or http://paypal.me link please?

[5:07 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
actually do u mind if we use a middleman to trade instead?
i got scammed out of trying to sell off my csgo inventory awhile back so i'm kinda iffy on doing direct trades now lol

[5:08 PM]
kevit0:
not sure if you went over my profile but i'm level 160, been on Steam for 16 years, etc. Not gonna risk my account over a cash trade, been trading for years without any issues for larger amounts of money.

[5:10 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
oh yeahh i know, i've seen your profile and checked ur steamrep, it's just that i'm still kinda sus of trading involving irl money because of that

[5:12 PM]
kevit0:
Yeah for sure, I completely get that. just doesn't make sense to risk getting marked over a cash trades especially when i have been around for a long time. the paypal payment will be as friends/family as well so you don't have to worry about chargebacks and such and if any fees occur they will be covered by me.

[5:14 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
ahhh alright alright, sorry for the distrust it's just like yeaaa trading with irl money's always been risky and i've never been involved with it much before
before i tried selling off my csgo inventory i've only ever traded in game in tf2

[5:14 PM]
kevit0:
all good, i completely get that! no need to be sorry

[5:15 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
in that case lemme get my paypal link rq

[5:15 PM]
kevit0:
Sure thing

[5:15 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
how's the trade gonna go tho? like u send the trade offer and the money, i make sure everything is ok and we're settled?

[5:16 PM]
kevit0:
So i'll send the offer for 19 items which are all the ones we agreed on, once the offer goes through i'll send the payment we agreed on.
if you wish i can send a small payment of a few dollars before the trade if you wanna make sure you paypal link works and all
If you wanna drop me your link i can send you a small payment so you can make sure it all works

[5:19 PM]
bunger bunger bunger bunger:
hmm ok sure

kevit0:
yup, perfect. just checked
going to send now, one sec
also, before sending just wanna make sure you don't want to get rid of the rest right? just don't want to pay double the fees because i paid $2 fees on $2 lol and the ones on this one will be much higher. i can do an additional $500 for the cat's pajamas only now. you can keep the flame and all the others
so will be $4500 and fees on me
just that 1 hat
