    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Misrepresenting virtual items
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561199368119933

    Victim profile: 76561198006464781

    What happened? Description:
    Was practicing offline when I got a wierd chat message from "Valve". I am usually familiar with the scam scene and how they operate but at this very moment (when it happend to me) my brain went offline. The person was explaining that I owned a stollen item which they have to take away and that my account is frozen. They said that I could trade my other items to a friend or alt account so they dont get deleted (I know, valve don't operate like this...). And because I could trade to my alt I was kinda calm since noone has access to my alt account, everything is behind 2fa, I have my "steam guard" and dropped my guard. Thought they couldn't get my items even if it was a scammer. Turns out, my account was already hacked and they were able to cancel my trade offer as soon as I made it and place their own. And just few seconds after I approved the trade i saw that the items were sent to another account.

    This is the steamid of the person who messaged me:

    I attached screanshot and downloaded a copy of the page where you can see the chat history and the trade offer history.​
