    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198165467560

    Victim profile: 76561198097374627

    What happened? Description:
    The person randomly added me and wanted to give me a knife in exchange for all my CS:GO weapon skins, which seemed like a great deal. They sent a trade link which created a trade for a different profile, which they referred to as their "storage account". After clicking their link and selecting my guns in exchange for their knife, I had to accept the trade in the mobile Steam app. This is where I noticed my previous trade had been cancelled and instead sent to a profile with level 0, and the trade consisted of me giving away my guns while getting nothing in return. After confronting the original profile about this (I literally asked them if they were scamming), they insisted I add one of their friends to explain to me how the trade works. I think the friend is just the same guy as before but with a different profile, as the friend went online just as the original guy went offline. He just told me to accept the trade even if it shows I get nothing.​

    Provide Evidence:
    This is the initial chat where we agree on the items. I agree to give him my guns in exchange for his knife.
    View attachment 740967 View attachment 740968
    Here's the link he sent:
    https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=91112735&token=YCZ-WSBR

    This is the trade that I sent: View attachment 740970
    And this is the trade that showed up:
    View attachment 740971 View attachment 740972 View attachment 740973
    The reason why the name and profile pic are different in these pics (Nameless and grunda) is because the lvl 0 profile keeps changing its avatar and name. It's still the same person.

    Here's the confrontation and the rest of the chat:
    View attachment 740980 View attachment 740982 View attachment 740984 View attachment 740985 View attachment 740986
    I left some of it out because of the 15 image limit, it was a pretty long conversation

    Here are all the accounts involved
    This is the initiator: View attachment 741001
    This is the "storage account":
    View attachment 741004
    I don't know how this scam works, it seems unlikely that this person with a 3000$ inventory is scamming people but the trade gets redirected to a different person after trading.

    This is the lvl 0 profile the trade gets sent to:
    View attachment 741003

    This is the scammer's "friend":
    View attachment 741002

    I'd be happy to provide more information, such as the chat log with the "friend" and the full chat between me and the initiator.​

    Did you add my friend?
    Its alright most of the traders here experience like this
    Just do it again and confirm it directly so that it wont get cancelled or if its cancelled but je confirmation is there try confirming it maybe its just a glitch or bug then if so we can report it to steam if the trade was not successful after you confirm it, sounds good?
    Just tell me when you send the offer and confirmed it, i just want you to send the offer so that when it happens again we can report this to steam ang solve this quickly so yeah try doing it again

    You mean submit the original Accused info..... you're providing evidence and information for review but nobody is defined as a scammer till the report is complete and the tag is applied. Even then the tag isn't used as a form of punishment...its just for data for others to review both them and you in the future since everyones ID is searchable at this point.
    Please keep that in mind.

    Yes, of course it's only an accusation. I'm just doing this so people can look at the profile and see the tag. At first I wasn't suspicious of this guy because the steamrep site had nothing on him.

    Will the other profiles involved also get a scammer tag if the report gets completed?

    The only profile that I can tell is guilty of any thing is the accused -they were flat out impersonating with intent to defraud.
    The other is just one being impersonated.

    Not having anything on SR here doesn't mean good or bad.
