    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198074421592

    Victim profile: 76561198317971610

    What happened? Description:
    Messaging me with the intent of getting my items, acting like a Steam Admin (getting my items verified through a trade offer).

    I've met them through someone coming to my account, saying that they reported me, instead of 'the real' scammer.​

    Provide Evidence:
    View attachment 734713 First Screenshot: The "admin" reached out to me.

    View attachment 734714 Second Screenshot: They try to prove to me that they can delete my account.

    View attachment 734715 Third Screenshot: I play along, just to see what they'd want me to do.

    View attachment 734716 Fourth Screenshot: They ask for my trade link, and I gave it away, just in case they were no BS.

    View attachment 734717 Fifth Screenshot: They'll use their 'database' to check for my items, so I wait.

    View attachment 734718 Sixth Screenshot: They ask me to make an appeal, and since this was already too fishy for a thursday afternoon, I don't click it.

    View attachment 734719 Seventh Screenshot: They send me a trade offer, and of course, I'm not new to Steam, I started pressuring them to see what they'd say.

    View attachment 734720 Eigth Screenshot: They started threatening me, hoping I'd give in.

    View attachment 734721 Ninth Screenshot: I try to reason with them (actually just messing with them at this point), but they keep on going with the same arguments.

    View attachment 734722 Tenth Screenshot: They insist it's not a trade, oh well...

    View attachment 734723
    Eleventh Screenshot: Getting away from my question, saying I can't read... Even if they were admins now, that's rude xP .

    View attachment 734724
    Twelfth Screenshot: Last chance they try to "warn" me.

    View attachment 734725
    Thirteenth Screnshot: Some backstory as to why I started doubting them, but just now they act kind of professional.

    And that's it, they now have me blocked on steam, but the first guy who added me, saying he reported the wrong guy, yada yada yada, might be the same person, but they didn't block me or unfriended me (I did). Sadly I don't have the conversation history with him, nor I can send anymore screenshots. The End.

    This is NOT the first user you should be reporting - You basically reported the other user that was brought into the scam event. You must make sure from now on you report the FIRST user you were contacted by and who started the scam..you only need to reference any other accounts involved and describe HOW they were involved in the description by including the FULL SR profile block along with details of how they were involved.
    Also include any and all FULL screenshots you have as evidence.
    Please do not resubmit a new report - this one will do for now.

    I need the ID64 of that FIRST user ASAP!!
