Accepted Report: 76561198439648727 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulent behavior
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198439648727

Victim profile: 76561198061737103

What happened? Description:

I did not actually get scammed!

I played along with them until the final stage, a quick summary of what happened:
1. Person with a decorated profile and 14 years steam years badge adds me asking for a trade
2. Long stage of pretending to be legitimately bargaining
3. Agreement reached, pretends to want a fair trade and leads me on to think we can have our items verified via Steam Representative/admin
4. Asks to add the admin so that we can trade offer him our items so that they may be "verified"

I have taken a screenshot and have a word doc of the chats, I hope this is enough to be deemed sufficient, I do not normally use steam rep, just want to do my part to report these scammers.​

Provide Evidence:

Files uploaded with the report, I have only those of the chat between myself and the scammer, I closed the group one and one with the fake valve admin.

Feel free to contact me directly for clarification (steam, email or skype if it comes to it), happy to do anything required to get these guys off steam.​
