    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198027401147

    Victim profile: 76561198270939435

    What happened? Description:
    After adding me to buy keys, he insisted to go first and sent his payment through. With my carelessness and failure to conduct a proper background and background check on this scammer we traded. He insisted on going first at all time. After traded him 100 keys I got very concerned because he kept sending money. I should of stopped and said no and went to bed but I kept going. At this point I was very tired and was not thinking straight. More transaction and trades were made and had no problems at this point.

    Until he could be a scammer, so I check his Steamrep and backpack.tf. Both sources listed him as a Paypal. At this point all I wanted was to get my keys back with a little overpay. But he did not want to go first and I was scared to lose my Paypal money if I sent it over to him. Prior going to bed 4hrs later I withdrawn the money he sent me (bad move on my end).

    Woke up in the morning was worse. Read multiple email from Paypal notifying me the scammer made claims for charge back stating 'Unauthorised transactions' were made. At this stage I was preparing all the chat screenshots, trade history and what ever info I can gathered. But it was too late. Half an hour alter received more emails notifying me the refund was completed and the case was closed. I called Paypal straight away and discuss this matter, took about 50minutes but there was nothing I can do to get my money back. I instantly loss the case because I have withdrawn the funds he sent me, which made me look suspicious.

    Now I have over $600 negative funds on Paypal which I have to pay back and there's nothing I could do to win this case sadly. The next day I've had many people added me to buy keys from me and I was refusing the sales as some on the accounts were banned via Steamrep. I think it may have been some of his alts.

    I hope he gets what's coming for him!​

    Need two more screenshots
    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History for last few days to present (NOT TRADE OFFER!!)- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload. Also need a screen shot of your Paypal ACTIVITY (not Summary) for let’s say the last several days full screen DO NOT edit this shot in anyway. Upload here.

    If you are curious about the refund in the image above. I accidentally sent incorrect currency, my default is AUD instead of USD, the seller refused the transaction there for the money was refunded to me. In return I resent the correct currency. If you have would like to confirm this transaction with the seller his profile link is http://steamcommunity.com/id/shadder2k
    Screenshot is also profile if you must view that my pending transaction was from the seller. NOTE this screenshot I am about to provide is not the scammer. It is not provide proof of my refund.

    Thanks moving to review
    Just so you know this user was already banned/tagged as of about 40+ days ago - You said you checked his steamrep - well I find that hard to believe or you did something completely wrong. Lesson learned as there isn't much more we can do to him.
    You should also report to Valve.

    As mentioned above, I trusted him and failed to correctly check his Reps. I only found out he was banned from Steamrep after the 300 keys were traded. Thats when I freaked out and wanted my keys back. I will be very careful from now on thats for sure.

    Thanks admin.
