Already Banned Report: 76561198107166028 - ([CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198107166028

Victim profile: 76561198064989113

What happened? Description:

I have been close friends with the player for 5 years and felt as if I could trust him.
I have recently stopped playing CS:GO and have been trying to cash out, EPicat said he'd love to purchase my items via paypal.
We discussed currency exchange, and eventually I went through with it.
As with all paypal > CS:GO item trades that has ever been "proposed", it was a scam.​

Provide Evidence:

Screenshot one:
- EPicat initiated the trade offer (I was willing, as I am moving out and trying to get as much money as possible).
- EPicat explains why he'd never scam
Screenshot Two:
- EPicat refuses to do one item at a time, should have been a red flag.
Screenshot Three:
-EPicat explains that he is community market banned for buying too many cases, cards and items etc
Screenshot Four:
- I gave EPicat my paypal email while he was setting up 'conversion rates'
Screenshot Five:
- EPicat shows the trade offer he is making with prices.

There's a lot of unnecessary information in the final few screenshots, they do not need explaining as much.
​

Screenshot Eight:
- EPicat sends trade offer
- I confirm said trade offer
Screenshot Twelve:
- I keep EPicat posted, sending regular updates.
- In the morning (now) when I woke up and sent a message, I found that he has unfriended/blocked me.
Screenshot Thirteen:
- Showing the trade offer accepted
Screenshot Fourteen:
-Showing items in EPicat's inventory.

Of course, ask as many questions as you'd like to and I'll be around to answer them after work.
Yes, I do understand I'm an idiot. I figured I could trust the man after 5 years of friendship.​
