    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Accomplice] Alternate account of hijacker or scammer
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198096748963

    Victim profile: 76561197994819561

    What happened? Description:
    I was advertising that I am buying H1Z1 for 7 keys.
    The Scammer (The Pro) added me and said as it is a new game he can only send me a gift through email or while purchasing, but after I give him the keys. I have never done a trade like this so I refused at first knowing I will likely be scammed.
    I went and checked his steamrep profile and it was ok. His steam profile (which was public at the time) also didn't have anything suspicious about it. He then said he can use a middle man which he invited to group chat. The middle man also had an OK profile with over 3000 comments and 3 years on steam. Steam rep page was also ok.
    So I thought if he is willing to use a middle man that has an old account then there is no reason to mistrust him.
    We did the trade and then he removed me.
    I sadly didn't think of bookmarking his "middleman's" profile.

    This is the first time I have ever done an item up front trade, and the last one.​

    Provide Evidence:
    In the uploaded picture you can see my trade history with the scammer.

    I didn't take screenshots of the chat as I didn't think of it at the time.​

    Before I got scammed by him, I checked their steamrep profiles (the scammer and his middleman) and thus I have their profiles in chrome history.
    This is the "middleman" he wanted to use: http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561197998547

    Added screenshots of his profile and my Chrome history
    In my history you can see I checked them both on jan 27, several days before I was scammed.
    On the middleman's profile you can see that the latest comment is by the scammer himself.
