    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198032330797

    Victim profile: 76561198847046665

    What happened? Description:
    This user scammed me on 17/09/2018, for 400 Australian dollars worth of items, I want to elaborate on what he has done: 1. He lied to me that he want to trade my unusuals for his unusual item 2. He added me on Discord app, and performed the majority of his scam there 3. He made me create an account on bitskins.com, and HE ACTS AS A BOT (his fake bot steam account's STEAMID64 is 765611982442570742, but I believe he has multiple fake bot accounts in use) on that website, lying to me that he needs to verify my items, and first scammed for my two unusuals, and then scammed for almost EVERY valuable item in my backpack, which equals to about 400 Australia dollars. 4. I have every single screenshot of our conversation, including the ones on Steam and the ones on Discord app. Some of them are direct prove of his scam. 5. I know I can’t get my items back, and I’m devastated now. I am new to steam and I didn't know I could check this person on SteamRep, now I find that he has already been banned. But HE IS STILL OUT THERE SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!!! I REALLY THINK HE SHOULD BE BANNED ON STEAM PERMANENTLY!!!
    !!! Please help!!!​

    Provide Evidence:
    I wanted to buy an Australium scattergun on backpack.tf, he is the seller, so I sent him a trade offer, so he added me and started to talk to me, he asked me if I were interested in his other unusuals.

    These are the conversations we had on steam:

    View attachment 677302
    View attachment 677303
    Because he performed most of the scam on discord app, so there aren't much on steam chat. But as you can see, the last two sentences he sent me, are the "promise" he made, that I will get my items back after the bot's "verification". But in reality it's just a scam, and he deleted me right after the trade. I believe these words can be a proof of the scam he performed.

    These are the conversations we had on discord app: View attachment 677304 View attachment 677305 View attachment 677306 View attachment 677308 View attachment 677309 View attachment 677310
    View attachment 677314
    View attachment 677315
    View attachment 677311
    As you can see, he deleted me right after the scam (the last sentence I sent is in red). And also there is a screenshot he sent me, says "you traded with...", which indicates that he is the person who's behind the "bot" on that website.

    These are the trade history of my items:

    The trade history is with the fake bot, but the bot is actually himself performing. I lost almost every single valuable item in my inventory, including three unusuals.

    This person still has a GOOD reputation on backpack.tf, and is still actively engaging in trading with innocent users. This is not what I want to see, I hope other people won't be scammed like I did.

    I really hope this person can get what he deserves: not just a bad reputation on steamrep, but a permanent ban on his steam account.

    Thank you for viewing my report, if further evidence is needed, I will provide what I could do.​

    @schizophrenia You clearly saw the user is already banned/tagged here - there is NOTHING more we can do to them.
    We don't have anything to do with Steam/Valve banning this user - report that to them.
    We can't stop them - only Valve can so again make sure you check users out better to avoid running into someone like this again.
    Lastly NEVER discuss steam trading outside of steam chat - never use discord, doing that loses evidence.
