    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198089282034

    Victim profile: 76561197971468931

    What happened? Description:
    NOTE: I will happily provide any more information requested. I additionally am still on good terms with this scammer and can record any conversations with him if needed.

    I posted a trade on a website and shortly after received a friend request from Sophia. As you will be able to see below in the screenshots, they inquired about my CSGO knife and attempted to purchase my knife for roughly $60-$80 dollars above what it sells for (in terms of direct cash, not Steam wallet money) on third party websites. This immediately concerned me and I soon realized that I was being scammed. After I question how the transaction will work, he tells me he wants to continue the conversation on Discord, likely because he knows that steamrep does not look at discord/third party information.

    INFORMATION ONLY PERTAINING TO DISCORD CONVERSATION: After I add him on Discord, he turns on his screenshare (allowing me to see his entire monitor) and he goes through his extensive trade history, steamrep profile, and facebook profile to gain my trust. He says that he will even pay me first on Paypal, but since I know that there are ways to get out of paying someone on third party sites like Paypal, I ask him for steam wallet money codes. He quickly turns around and says that I now have to send him the knife first (which is why he sends me his trade URL in the screenshots) and after that I feel uncomfortable talking to him and say that I have to go do homework.​

    Provide Evidence:

    Initial contact

    Continued. In this screenshot, you can see that he sends me a massive group that he is the admin of. I am also concerned that this group is run by a large group of scammers and would like to additionally report them.

    We then stop talking on steam and move to discord.​

    [Yesterday, 8:27 PM]
    Oebelysk:
    well I personally am not fond of cash trades since they're high risk
    I just have to ask why buy it from me when you can get it for 80 dollars cheaper on a website though?

    [Yesterday, 8:28 PM]
    Sophia:

    I will provide any additional information requested. I see that there have been roughly five other reports on this same person that have all been denied and I would like to finally see justice be served to this person.

    Sorry it would appear you took the conversation to Discord which lost evidence, no agreement noted thru that so we are unable to review report.
    Never discuss steam trading outside of steam chat - and at the very least make sure the formal agreement is noted in steam chat at the time of the trade and/or in the trade offer.

    Nothing provided suggests this user was or is guilty of any wrong doing.
    Declined.


    Also: other reports someone may have are irrelevant to this one - they are all independent and were declined for their own reasons and do not reflect negative upon this user.
