    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198155500285

    Victim profile: 76561198234999168

    What happened? Description:
    He contacted me saying he would like to trade for my knife, I say sure thing. Next I know he is shoving something about "item verification" down my throat. I instantly knew it was a scam. He had a fake OPSKINS bot and tried to steal my knife.​

    Provide Evidence:
    He starts of with the text that you can see in the steam chat logs, At first I'm curious but as soon as the item trade verification comes in I know its fake, Next he is trying to make me add him on skype. So I quickly make a fake account and add him, as you can see in the picture. He tries to convince me that the link in his bio to his inventory is his, but you can quickly find out they're 2 different accounts, I prove this with a steam rep screenshot. Once I add him and go on OPSKINS as he commands I make a listing for my knife for 4000, he tells me to not deposit but to refresh, because of this I know I will not get a trade offer, but I do somehow! As you can see in the screenshots below its not a deposit, but a confirmation trade! I become even more curious and dig deeper, I investigate the account and find out its fake, the real one is years old and level 3 while this fake one is 2 days old and level 1 and not even in the steam group. I believe this to be enough evidence to get this guy a Steam Rep warning to help others before they lose there items. Thank you for listening to my case.​

    @_MetroidKing_ What bot?? You clearly said you were involved with one yet you didn't give any info on that account.

    Also NEVER EVER discuss steam trading outside of steam chat..never use skype!
    You don't have any acceptable evidence of any scam here against this user - however I'm able to add one thing and accept report - next time get the WHOLE steam chat.
