Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198847839428

Victim profile: 76561197962430085

What happened? Description:

A person by the name "Joe" messaged me to trade all of my CS:GO skins for one of his knives that he linked to an inventory (which was not his account, the account linked was https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198387026407). After going back and forth, he told me that he wanted to avoid the 7-day tradelock, so he wanted me to exchange my CS:GO skins to Dota 2 items, and then he said he would trade his knife. After this unsuccessful attempt, he tried to get me to go to to "skinscap.com" to check the value of my skins, which I found out supposedly had a fake login form that would steal information from users. The site was down, however, which can be seen in the chatlogs. After calling "Joe" out on his attempts, he unfriended me.​

Provide Evidence:
