    What happened? Description:
    Hi Steamrep, I just want this user to be sanction for what he did to me so that he can't do it to others again. He changed his steam customurl so I can't track him. I didn't confront him about the scam so that he won't block me. Here's what happened, he found out that I have a StatTrak Flip Knife | Gamma Doppler, he seemed like a nice guy & gave a good offer. We closed the deal through PayPal via Gift. I don't know how that works but he sent me a confirmation email that I got the money & it will go to my PayPal within 24 hours, too dumb of me to have believed it & accepted the trade. A few minutes later I checked the email again to find out that it's from a @gmail.com sender, not from @paypal.com. At that point, I knew I was scammed real bad. I tried confronting him about it but he played dumb & even got mad at me. I left a +rep on his profile & he also left a +rep on mine. I'm not planning to delete his +rep on my profile that's my way of tracking him. I already deleted my +rep on his profile so that he can't track & block me, so I can keep on reporting him. I know that's a dummy account, maybe if you can see where he traded my knife you'll know what his real account is. Thank you for your time reading this complaint & sentiment, I'll provide all the proof needed, especially the screenshots of our transaction to prove that I was scammed. I love CsGO & I hate the scums who are ruining it.​

    Provide Evidence:

    I got the knife from just 1 key. So lucky me right? Not lucky enough. So dumb & scammed. I captured a video of the knife before I initiated the trade. It's just a memory now :( Here are some screenshots.

    I know I'm not getting the knife back, I just want this scum to be reprimanded. I hope we can trace his real account, I know he traded my rare knife there :(

    Sad life. I need a hug guys. :(

    My steam profile is private for now & can only be viewable by friends so that he can't delete the +rep he sent me. Let me know if you want to see the +rep, I can add you so you can click that it links to the current profile he's using.

    Yup, he used a gmail email that looked like it came from paypal. The email details was hidden, I viewed it after I accepted the trade. Minutes too late.

    I'm reporting him on steam everyday since the day he scammed me. He's changing customurl from time to time, but I'm tracking him through the +rep he left on my profile.
