Accepted Report: 76561197969276181 - ([CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561197969276181

Victim profile: 76561198017702328

What happened? Description:

I added this Steam user from a group called 'Girl Gamers'.

I agreed to trade 10 CSGO keys with this user in exchange for 2 game keys: GTA V, and Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain, both Steam keys.

So I bought the CSGO keys, and we waited a week before trying to trade today.
I checked their account on SteamRep several times, and there were no indications of them being a scammer, however I now realise there were several warning signs. The user had been issued a previous trade ban, community ban, and the warning message was shown in Steam trade window.

When it came to trading they refused to go first, and as I already had the keys I decided to take a risk, and I sent 5 keys in exchange for the GTA V Steam game key.

They said to wait, and then after 5 minutes they went offline, blocked me from adding them, and then they cycled the Steam account to hide the Steam name, URL, changed the profile picture, and made the account private.

I have reported the user on Steam, and I'm now reporting them here. I feel stupid because I could've avoided it, but I'm still upset regardless.

I really hope they get banned because they must have scammed a lot of users this way, and I don't see Steam doing anything to stop them.​

Provide Evidence:

I have uploaded proof of the trade agreement, proof of the broken agreement, proof that I verified their identity through inventory history, and loading profile from chat.

Also added a screenshot of their steamrep profile just in case.​
