What happened? Description:

It is my first time filing a report on Steamrep. I apologize in advance if it doesn’t meet all of your requirements. I will do my best to explain what happened and provide you with appropriate evidence in my possession.

The most important screenshot -- “Confirmation of Identity,” proves that I talked to the person in question, not an impersonator. The screenshot named “Confirmation of Agreement” proves we have made an agreement that wasn’t disputed by the accused in any shape or form. Now, to the matter at hand.

I was planning to sell various CS:GO case keys in exchange for real money. I was looking for somebody willing to buy them from me. Eventually, I found a trader with a high Steam level, valuable CS:GO items, and an extensive trading record. The person in question is the accused.

He seemed to be reputable and trustworthy. I decided to give it a shot – I added him on Steam and asked him if he wanted to buy my keys. From this point onward, we shifted the conversation to Telegram, my go-to external communicator, because it doesn’t clear chat history, unlike Steam. I was also afraid of discussing this matter on Steam… which is why I didn’t use Steam chat as much before.

In retrospect, I now realize it was not a good idea. Still, I am not a professional trader, and I did not know it was best to continue the conversation about the deal directly on Steam chat as it would increase my chances of providing you with the best proof for the sake of this report.

We discussed the details of the trade before it took place. We established I would send him all of my keys to his alternative account first, and then he would send $2100 to my friend’s Polish bank account. I must mention my friend because my keys were stored on his Steam account, and he sent the trade offer when I asked him to do so (the keys were mine, but he kept them for me and sent the trade offer).

The aforementioned trader accepted the trade offer and received all the keys. I was waiting for the transfer for many days. I received no money, so I asked him about the transfer status. He informed me that he contacted his bank, and the transfer was aborted due to a Minimal Transfer Amount (MTA).

I asked if he could send the money via PayPal since the international transfer failed. He said he doesn’t use his PayPal account for ”bigger transactions” because PayPal suspended his account in the past for using it contrary to its purpose.

I asked him how to resolve the issue. He proposed that my fiancé sends him his eSports 2014 Summer Cases worth ~$3700 USD. In exchange, he would transfer $6765 USD, but I would need to send him $965 back. I agreed, but on the condition that he sends the money first this time. He refused to go first.

I didn’t know what else to do, so I asked him to return my keys. He said he couldn’t do that because he had already sold them. In that case, I asked him to send me the skins worth $2100 in real currency ($3000 virtually – the equivalent of my keys). He didn’t reply to that proposal.

I came up with the only solution I found reasonable – I asked him if he had any friend or a relative who could transfer the money in his stead. He said he would check and, after a while, replied that he couldn’t find anyone. I asked him how to resolve the issue, and he replied that he had already answered that question. I assume he meant sending him the cases. I figured it was not the best idea. His replies, constant lack of cooperation, and carelessness strengthened my belief that he was untrustworthy and attempts to scam me again.

Nonetheless, I asked if my suspicion that he does not plan to send me any money or skins seemed accurate. I asked the same question in two chats – Telegram chat and Steam chat. As you can see, he kept talking about the only solution he found reasonable, aka sending him $3700 worth of cases.

I file this report to warn other users not to trade with this person. I hope you will tag him as a scammer. His fraudulent behavior is not only unacceptable, but it’s also an actual crime. I know you won’t be able to help me seek justice through legal channels, but I believe tagging him as a scammer is within your capabilities. I want to ensure I did everything I could to protect other users from getting scammed by this person.

If you require additional explanation or clarification, I will provide it. I will gladly answer all your questions. Thank you in advance for investigating my report.​

I hope this is what you need. I have also uploaded screenshots with trade offer urls which show exactly how long we have been friends with (both with Purotex and his alt).
