    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198389985818

    Victim profile: 76561198059970541

    What happened? Description:
    No, i do not know him, he added me few days ago, he try to trade with me as promise will give me abit profit with trade. I refuse at first and he din't force, and after few times for asking, i agree him to see the trade first only, with screen sharing in Skype.

    He try to act like he is local people just like me, but only know to speak english and is oversea now (his english even not good like me as a Malaysian and with the slang, i can bet he is Russian).

    He let me see his inventory, and a few progress to let me see how the trade is real and depending on me. But after that, he said he want to check my inventories market available as he want to sell it for another profit actually, calling me to trade in opskin website( i dont know it and i did search, i can even upload the website browser history for prove ).

    I start wondering and start searching for opskin scam, and i found it on reddit and it totally like just what i met like screen sharing, trade in opskin and etc. I start asking him back either he is real local people, and ask him to show his face to make prove. He refuse to show and start arguing with me that the website is real and others.

    After fail to prove it, he just pretend din't hear me clearly and offline ( i think he just try to find time to erase all the trail with me).​

    Provide Evidence:
    Unfortunately, when i realize i'm in a scam attempt, i trying to argue with the scammers how he will try to scam me and how i don't believe it, so does make him has the chance to flee without any chance to screenshot the chat log by unfriend me.

    The whole process is go through Skype, i don't want at first, but he insist on it, then i give up (now i know why he want Skype). After he flee, he straight unfriend me and change the custom profile link.

    Luckily the history of steam rep check (steamrepcn) did direct me to his steamid64 profile (sadly steamrep only show page not found after he changing the custom url, please fix it).

    The 3 keys prove i don't have, the only prove i can make is the skype screenshot, with the chat end time just same as his custom url and username changed. I know it is not enough evidence, but at least alert him with high risk profile.

    I have spent an hour to think twice and write those clearly, just begging steamrep moderators can review it seriously, as i did search on steamrep about the user, but it did no show me the warn. Please make it for the other users alert about the person, and also make steam platform more friendly to join as i hope to see. End.​

    I only screenshot then blocked him and reported immediately, i don't know chat log will be needed as it is easily changed. Noted that his steam custom url and username changed just about the chat log end time.

    Evidence is unacceptable..we only take screenshots thru steam chat only - all else thru skype and other means of communication is not acceptable.
