So this guy trades me and tells me that hes got a gift code from which i can redeem code and download my minecraft copy straight away. He added me on steam and i started chatting with him and he told me to go to the minecraft site, register there, and then he redeemed the code for me he even gave me a code (in the screenshots) which when i now enter, says that it is an invalid or already used code. I downloaded minecraft and it won't let me login because it says that the user is not premium meaning that i got scammed. I went straight to the guy in chat and I saw that it said "last seen 1 minute ago" i go onto his profile and it said "in game, Team Fortress 2" which means that he had deleted me, I added him once and it said that this user's settings do not allow you to contact him at this time. So then i went to his profile and i saw that his name had been changed as well and when I took a screenshot of his profile, I took a screenshot of the different names hes used while playing. I checked out his profile on Steamrep and it said that hes a RAWR Scammer. I was very lucky to get a screenshot of the trade, so any help would be appreciated :/ This is my first attempt for a scam so do you think i'll be able to get my items back or atleast get him banned? Thanks a lot !
Thanks for the report. However, it is most unlikely that you will get your items back. Can you provide screenshots of the inventory trade history? Here's how you do it: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/howto-provide-evidence-with-screenshots.3488/#post-15972
I know that it is unlikely but as seen by his steamrep report, hes scamming everyone he can ! I just want to get him banned at the very least. Heres the inventory history:
You can submit a steam support ticket regarding this as well. On the other hand, A SR admin will add this to the list of the scammer's offenses. Thanks for the update of info
What exactly is a steam support ticket? And is it possible in any way of getting my stuff back? :/ Thanks a lot !
Unfortunately steam views all trades as final so the likelihood of getting your stuff back is not high.
