    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199341400527

    Victim profile: 76561197962508749

    What happened? Description:
    Messaged me and offered to buy 5 items from my TF2 inventory for $70 in steam credit. Said he needed a middleman to broker the trade and offered one from a supposed reddit trading thread. (My bad for not looking further into this). We brought in the middle man and I traded the 5 items to him. He then offered to buy my entire TF2 inventory for $200 instead. I agreed and traded the remaining items (411) to the supposed middleman (see below). Once they had my items he changed his offer and told me he could only give me a $500 credit and I would have to refund the $300 in items. I declined and offered to let him pay me through paypal instead and he refused, insisting on the $500 instead. I told him I would cancel the trade then and the 'middleman' refused to hand anything back, instead told me I had to pay him 20 keys to get anything back, eventually they both left the chat and blocked me.



    Middleman who took everything:
    | steamname: Gryms

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HEREā€¦NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Please review this screenshot guide to help you:

    I'm not sure what you're asking for here. This account is not in my friends list. My friends activity in my profile was set to Private so I don't see anywhere I can take a screenshot for you. I'll screenshot whatever you need, I just don't know what you're asking for here.

    Also, they closed the chat, so the only way I was able to even get those screenshots is the chat history from the mobile app.

    That is a method to verify identity - there is nothing on our end that shows you were friends and you are reporting the correct user. Names/Images/Chat boxes do not prove that could be impersonated user for all we know so we must verify certain ways. I'll give you 24hours to provide evidence showing the users ID64 that you were friends with them during this time frame.

    I'm really not sure how to help with this. I can't re-add him as I just get this:

    Listen, I know that I'm never going to see any of my inventory again, I honestly don't care at this point. I just don't want to see anyone else go through the same thing. You tell me what you need and I will provide it to the absolute best of my ability.

    I can grab a screen record from my phone if that would help at all:

    All evidence must be hosted to the report - you still have the remaining 24hours to provide what was requested.

    I'm afraid I gave you ample time and even more so to respond with what was needed/required to review report.
    Declining for lack of evidence and follow up.
    Please keep the above needed information in mind should you have to ever resubmit a report here.
    Nothing provided suggests/shows this user is or was guilty of any wrong doing per policy.
    Declined
