    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198150681445

    Victim profile: 76561197960974919

    What happened? Description:
    Impersonated Anomaly's Skin buying/selling account in an attempt to con naive users out of their skins. The Twitter handle could easily be mistaken for the real handle and they personalised their steam profile to look the part too. When called out on it, the user in question updated their trade URL.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Files uploaded below. Evidence shows the twitter conversation with the user, @anomalyskins_ (real handle, @anomalyskins) as they offer $680 PayPal for my two knives. They ask for me to send the knives through steam and add the comment: PayPal {{ [email protected] }} - The trade link provided was for their own account to receive the items, not anomaly's. The account was made to con users out of their skins by impersonating anomaly. The account goes as far as copying Anomaly's recent tweets in an attempt to gain the user's trust.​

    Hello,

    We don't handle reports where the agreement / chat took place outside of Steam as per our investigative policy. Declined.

    Thanks for the report nevertheless.
