    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198157561312

    Victim profile: 76561198086842138

    What happened? Description:
    First, the account friended me. After a quick view of his profile, he looked like a legitimate admin of the CS:GO case opening site Hellcase.com. On his profile he impersonated an admin and listed reasons why someone from Hell case would contact you, which for me, was to trade for items to restock on hellcase. He promised 100 in site USD on hellcase in exchange for a mere 15 dollars worth of skins. Foolishly, i took the too good to be true offer. Even more stupidly, he asked for a code on my mobile in order for the bot to ''transfer my money,'' after I sent him the items. My account proceeded to be hijacked and I was locked out of it for 1 day. Luckily, Steam support recovered my account very quickly.​

    Provide Evidence:
    This might not be enough evidence, as I didn't have any chat logs saved because he set his profile to private immediately after, unfriended me, and hijacked my account. But all things are worth a try, and I hope the evidence I've provided below is enough to ban him on steamrep. Thank you :)​
