What happened? Description:

Hello,

So I was trying to change my knife a Bayonet Rust Coat Battle Scared, I was trying to find some one on CSGO Lounge when 1snik added me as friends and we started discussing how we should proceed, he said he will give me 100 euros for the knife through PayPal transaction, since he had level steam 30 and a lot of +rep so i said i would go first.
After i trade offer him with the knife and accept it, he stops talking to me and eventually blocks me.
Since then he has started to try to trade it for something else.

Now i know i'm stupid i should have trusted him at all, especially go first.
Also i didn't know i had to make full screenshots, i'm sorry ​

I found him on Facebook and talked to him, he said his account was hacked and provided me this screen shot http://i.imgur.com/stYm6p9.png, that he edited so i cannot see the date when the ticket was made, it took him ~5minutes to provide the screenshot, i guess he just made it.

Little update he just traded the knife for steam keys.

it would help if you could translate those screenshots for us

Bait: hey
1snik: hi there
1snik: r u interested to sell your knife for money?
1snik: wait, are you romanian?
Bait: Yes
1snik: oh its better that way
1snik: so, are you interested to sell your knife?
Bait: hmm
Bait: how
1snik: do you have paypal?
Bait: yes
1snik: or i can buy steam wallet codes, also with paypal
1snik: and how much would you want?
Bait: 450 (lei)
1snik: how much would that come in euro ?
Bait: 100 (euro)
1snik: the knife on market is 94 euro, and usually its bought with 85% market price
1snik: i can pay 100 euros though i want a knife fast, im just saying
Bait: well how do i know if the trade will be ok?
1snik: i have no idea, we could use a middleman
Bait: you could still cancel the paypal tranzaction
Bait: and the 2nd day you would have the money and the knife
1snik: if i send you through family & friends with a message that i got the item from you
1snik: i can't do a chargeback
Bait: where are you from?
1snik: Bucharest
Bait: why don't you put the money in your steam account
Bait: and buy the knife
1snik: i would have to wait until steam answers me to confirm my identity from paypal
1snik: otherwise i can't put money in steam from my card
Bait: how come?
1snik: there is an interdiction, its blocked because i used paypal and it changed my currency from dolars to euro in steam money
Bait: i dunno what to say its a bit weird
1snik: i know its the first time happening to me too
Bait: i dont know what we could do, you could scam me big time
Bait: i see on your page that you have a lots of +rep
Bait: But this wont stop you
1snik: do you really think i would afford to lose my account for 100euros?
1snik: i dont know, i would scam anyone, especially a romanian
1snik: now you believe what you want, i cant force you to do the trade if you dont want
Bait: well just because we would do a real money transaction
Bait: Steam won't care
Bait: and you will be fine
1snik: if you report me on steamrep, steam will care
1snik:
Bait: ok fine
Bait: how do we start?
1snik: i dont know, depends


here is my mistake, i didnt get the final part of the conversation, at this point i accept to give him first the item, i trade offer him and give him my paypal account, after he says "i've sent you the money, enjoy the cash" and i ask him if he knows how much would i take for paypal to send the money, and he stops talking to me, blocks me, and thats when it all started.

This is the steam trade mail, to prove that it was my knife he had in inventory.

As someone requested here are the trade history and paypal history.

Thank you for the report. All the screenshots seem to be in order, I'll just need to find someone to verify the translation.
