    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [Steam] Steam Games

    Accused profile: 76561198127413539

    Victim profile: 76561198036420893

    What happened? Description:
    I was contacted by a scammer. He tricked me using his apparent good rep to convince me to gift him and his friend two to three copies of my gifts of MiNiMUM on steam, for a CD Key of another game he supposedely had. He never completed his part of the deal and unfriended and blocked me when the infamy was done, so I cannot contact him to have my share of the deal. I would like retrieve my items, and if this isn't possible, I would like him to get banned or punished in a way.​

    Provide Evidence:

    @Jackson 2 I need to confirm identity please - follow these instructions for BOTH users you sent gifts to.
    Please provide a full screen shot of that gift history- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload.

    Also I need to see where or how you got the game you were supposed to get since its showing in your game list.

    Thank you guys.
    Here we go.

    I used a web browser to take these screenshots to show the popup, as you said. The first screenshot is the one with "Bounty Hunted", which is the scammer. His steamid doesn't show up, and I don't know why, but it's him and there are also other threads on this forum (with some screenshots) to confirm it. The second screenshot is the second person gifted, along with the full steam id, is the "beneficiary" of the scam, but he never spoke to me, so maybe he's just collateral damage. The third screenshot is a history of my purchases and shows how I got the copies of the game: I bought a 5-pack, I used a copy for me, I gifted one to a trusted friend of mine, and I had 3 left in my inventory, of which 2 have been scammed by the suspect "BountyHunted". Finally, the last screenshots show how I got the game: because I was let down by this trade but I still wanted the game, I bought it myself on HumbleBundle, taking advantage of a sale similar as the one of steam, -10% because I am a Humble Monthly subscriber (better bargain than steam for this case).

    I remain at your disposal for any further informations that could help us solve this case.
