    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198151808529

    Victim profile: 76561197995974352

    What happened? Description:
    I posted a thread on sub reddit /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade to sell my AUG Akihabara Accept skin for $2100USD through paypal or BTC.

    The scammer sent me a friend request on steam and asked me to buy the Aug for $2000 flat. I was desperate for money so i decided to get let it go for $100 less. I asked him to reply to my thread and i did the checks on steamrep and google but nothing was suspicious about him. It was going well until insisted that i send the trade offer first and told me that i could cancel it at anytime. I should have ended the trade there because this was a obvious scam tactic but i was desperate to get money to get through the pandemic i didn't think properly. He added me on Discord and shared his screen, saying that he will send the money once he can see the trade offer. He promised that he would not hit accept offer and even closed out of his Steam account. I sent the trade offer and confirmed it through the steam authenticator and he blocked me off discord and steam.​

    This is because I edited the OP to take off the required buyout price and put out a warning to others. I am at work at the moment so here is a screenshot of the post on my phone.

    convo1 is cropped to much, the other is semi ok just cut in half. Just verifying things so in the future don't crop screenshots.
    I'll look over this more soon.
    no need to post again or reply.
