Scam Report

Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198048817769

Victim profile: 76561198069435948

What happened? Description:

I added him since i saw a post in discussion trade thread on steam community, saying he is selling an item i was interested in called the abcessarator or something like that, a pudge hook, which can only be gifted because of the new dota2 guidelines on ultra rare items. So we talked and we agreed upon trading my Phantom Assasin arcana with 3 styles unlocked for the new pudge hook. One of us had to go first since the item is not tradable, and i assured him that i have a good reputation and that he will receive the item after he sends his, he played the inexperienced victim assured me he is not gonna scam me, his profile is very clean and trustworthy and i thought he has a good reputation(i am well aware that i took a risky trade by accepting the gift thing but it doesn't change the fact that i got scammed and that he used his reputation to scamm me and other people) so i went first and sent the trade offer, he then accepted the item and didn't send the item nor he messaged me. He just completley ignored me meanwhile trying to scam others at the same time. I have 2 other people who sent a report with screenshots regarding the same person, and the same item. He was selling the same item to multiple people at the same time telling them to send the items first. After you send him the items(arcanas) he sells them instantly and then either blocks and unfriends you either ignores you, depending on how aggressive you are with him after you realise he just scammed you. He kept me at friends and changed his name.​

hello?
you told me not to worry yet you didn't send me the hook after you recevied my arcana and you stopped responding to my messages
please just send me the hook man

[14:10]
Sinner:
at least respond, please man it hurts when you trust somebody and u get deceived imagine you were in my place

[14:27]
Sinner:
i see you scammed others too,
we all talk
created a group
and want to get your account banned
you scammed quite a lot of people

here is the inventory history, i didn't know that i just wanted to provide proof because i mentioned others being in the same situation as i am

Yes, it would have showed up in the trade history, if you see the screenshots in the item history today i traded the Phantom Assassin arcana and i was supposed to receive the item in exchange for mine and i never did receive it. He stopped replying afterwards and proceeded scamming other ppl using the same item.

If anything else is required, please let me know.

It shows in inventory history, i traded my phantom assasin arcana for it, i sent you the inventory history and it didn't show up. It never will because i never received it

So the arcana that i sent is tradable, the hook i was supposed to receive isn't that's why it was supposed to be sent via gift option.
