Victim profile: 76561197962425924

What happened? Description:

FYI, just got scammed out of a knife by a guy who went through a pretty extensive spiel. 'Skippy' on steam (https://steamcommunity.com/id/shinigamio1263000/), aka Gio on discord (gio#7470 ), aka Giorgi Avalishvili according to his alleged TCB banking history. Messaged me on Steam a decent amount, showed me his FB, Insta, and Twitch channels. I assured him I wanted to do one knife at a time (the cheaper of the 2 I was selling), the second I hit 'confirm', he left chat. Just FYI, it looked pretty legit, including people responding apparently in real-time on facebook to say he was a legit trader. Not expecting any compensation (I have screenshots of it all) or anything, but wanted to let y'all know.​

Provide Evidence:

Screenshots provided - please let me know if you need more of Steam chat. Also, apologies for my previous post on this person - I was unaware of how to get their steam64, but I went back and found it. Thanks much!​

sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:

[Yesterday, 5:47 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
Yes but I'm not a huge fan of adding strangers on there. No offense

[5:47 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
i understand you
but we are talking about deal
on discord i am gonna explain you everything about trade
and after that decide you will make deal with me or no

[Yesterday, 5:48 PM]

Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
Understood. I'm thinking, gimme a min

[Yesterday, 6:06 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
I dunno, I'm still skeptical. I can always change the list price on the steam market and you can buy through market - I can list them at the prices you gave above?

[6:06 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
the thing is market is unprofitable to me, that's why i am not using it
i have my own methods without any risk when i am selling
and i have some inventory rn and trying restock
i can show you more on discord

[Yesterday, 6:07 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
True, but you spending the money on there to get the item in your inventory is the same thing right?

[6:08 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
no it isnot
i can tell you 2 things
first of all there are 2 categories people on steam
one part want steam deals and second part just prefer real money
on steam i am trading through wallet code, i am using g2a and i have partnership statuss there
i am making profit by that
and real cash deal are already profitable to me
i know ways where i can get higher prices with a good currencies
that's why i am a buyer
trading is a uprofitable
since csgo 7 day hold
i think you know much about that

[Yesterday, 6:10 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
Lol true. And the currency exchange makes sense. Do you have a partnership # or anything with G2A?

[6:11 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
partnership statuss
you can just see what is it
i am buying more cheaper everything
than they are
that's why i am using steam gift cards for deals

[Yesterday, 6:13 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
Okay but if I want cash instead of steam gift cards, you pay me through G2A you're saying and then I trade you items?

[6:13 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
i'll buy code from g2a
you will see code is real with proof of message and all stuff
i'll show you more about me
if we go on discord

[Yesterday, 6:15 PM]
Mr. Frank Rosenthorpe:
Ok sure I'll listen

[6:15 PM]
sᴋɪᴘᴘʏ:
should you give me your Discord ID ?
