    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198019026570

    Victim profile: 76561198037618192

    What happened? Description:
    Scammed me out of 110ish dollars worth of CSGO and TF2 items after we agreed on 88$ paypal money, has a steam level of 111 and few very high level friends (presumably other scamming accounts). He uses steamrep as a source of validity and probably cashes out most items before he can get trade banned I've come to find, I didn't think much of it since he seemed pretty legitimate and his rep was clean...banning him probably won't do much harm to him as he'll just go and buy another high level steam account for scamming but at least I hope it happens when he has a high value item in his inventory like that knife he currently has. He has probably made hundreds this way..I understand that very foolish behaviour is displayed on my end even after I had been scammed two days like stated in the chat before but I did not believe an account that looks so legitimate could be a scammer's..There was virtually no way for me to check if it could be a scam. In my defense I am a little slow witted and I was rushing to cash out to buy my cousin a dog after his had died. I have only cropped my second screen from the screenshots. Thanks for reviewing this and I hope there is something to be done about it..​

    3:50 AM - Dworfy: did you already have C/O for it?
    3:50 AM - Banker: what was c/o again I haven't used tf2outpost in 2 years and a half
    3:51 AM - Dworfy: current offer
    3:51 AM - Banker: well I got offered a key on a trade server but I thought that was low
    3:52 AM - Dworfy: are you planning to quit in tf2?
    3:52 AM - Banker: not totally quit but just cash out my items that I feel are worth a bit
    3:53 AM - Dworfy: i'm hesitating buying this -> http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/29497595
    3:53 AM - Dworfy: it's kinda hard to resell
    3:53 AM - Banker: that, it is
    3:53 AM - Banker: tell me what you had in mind if you were to buy the set
    3:54 AM - Dworfy: i guess i'll pass with the set
    3:54 AM - Dworfy: but i'm willing to buy your backpack at 75%
    3:55 AM - Banker: what, paypal?
    3:55 AM - Banker: or pure?
    3:55 AM - Dworfy: paypal
    3:56 AM - Banker: the problem with that is the set I'm showing you I've lost in a paypal scam two days ago and I've been trying to get it back ever since
    3:56 AM - Dworfy: oh i see
    3:56 AM - Banker: because I would use different means of transaction and the guy just charged back
    3:56 AM - Banker: forgot it has to be a gift payment
    3:56 AM - Dworfy: it's impossible to retrieve the items mate
    3:56 AM - Dworfy: you should've let him send it as a family/gift
    3:57 AM - Banker: thing is I know this guy who knows him personally
    3:57 AM - Banker: and I'm waiting for him to tell me what he told him
    3:57 AM - Banker: thing is the scammer guy is denying everything in borderline sociopath fashion
    3:57 AM - Dworfy: oh i see
    3:58 AM - Dworfy: but do you know the guy personally?
    3:58 AM - Dworfy: the guy who knows the scammer personally
    3:58 AM - Dworfy: maybe they're working together mate and making you hope to get it back
    3:58 AM - Banker: I don't but he's taking my side obviously since I showed him the screenshots and chat
    3:58 AM - Banker: there's nothing in it for him really
    3:58 AM - Banker: I just added him from the scammer's friend list before he went private
    3:59 AM - Banker: and he wanted to help me
    3:58 AM - Dworfy: oh, okay
    3:59 AM - Dworfy: but don't expect too much mate :)
    3:59 AM - Banker: yeah
    3:59 AM - Banker: that being said I have some stuff on opskins I need to get back so give me a minute
    3:59 AM - Banker: might be interested in selling those
    3:59 AM - Dworfy: okay sure
    4:00 AM - Banker: do you value paint?
    4:00 AM - Dworfy: as long as it has price
    4:00 AM - Banker: all black
    4:00 AM - Banker: there was a black bill's too I lost in the trade..
    4:01 AM - Dworfy: how much did that scammer manage to scam you?
    4:01 AM - Banker: the set, bill's and a taunt
    4:01 AM - Banker: thankfully I told the guy to give me a key in case he decides to screw me over but I still lost quite a bit
    4:01 AM - Dworfy: give me his steam link
    4:03 AM - Banker: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198397969743
    4:04 AM - Banker: I know he didn't have rep and all and few hours so I just asked him if it's a trading account
    4:04 AM - Banker: he said no but he's new to tf2 which already seemed kind of fishy to me but I'm realy withdrawing a bigger amount so I didn't want to bother with middlemen and all
    4:05 AM - Banker: I'd still like to get something back if I can
    4:06 AM - Dworfy: it was really a bad and greedy move of you to trust him mate
    4:06 AM - Dworfy: from the look of his steam account
    4:06 AM - Dworfy: it's new
    4:06 AM - Dworfy: created at june 2017
    4:07 AM - Banker: I know, I know I'm not completely in the right but he's way less so
    4:07 AM - Dworfy: level 13 steam with no rep at all
    4:07 AM - Dworfy: your steam account looks more trusted than him
    4:08 AM - Banker: yeah figured i could get some quick cash / pure and didn't want to bother with all that middle man stuff
    4:08 AM - Dworfy: it's true that middleman is a bit hassle
    4:08 AM - Dworfy: but it's much safer :)
    4:09 AM - Dworfy: anyway, did you manage to get your items back at opskins?
    4:09 AM - Banker: aight so opskins sold this strange festive amby I had so there was only a black charmer's chapeau on there
    4:09 AM - Banker: let's open up a trade and see what I've got
    4:10 AM - Dworfy has accepted your request to trade.
    4:10 AM - Banker: you don't want the weapons too do you?
    4:11 AM - Dworfy: give me a sec
    4:11 AM - Dworfy: i'll check the total amount of your inventory
    4:11 AM - Banker: I used to have buds and unusuals and houwars and stuff but I've traded them away over time
    4:12 AM - Banker: the thing I probably regret the most is betting on titan stickers going up after selling my m4 howl
    4:12 AM - Dworfy: http://steam.tools/itemvalue/#/staybased421-440
    4:12 AM - Dworfy: here's your inventory value
    4:13 AM - Dworfy: $36.15 (110 items)
    4:13 AM - Banker: give me a sec
    4:14 AM - Dworfy: i can pay you 27$ for your entire inventory
    4:14 AM - Banker: welp I had a genuine doublecross comm painted black wonder where that went
    4:14 AM - Dworfy: didn't saw it at your inventory
    4:14 AM - Banker: no I don't either
    4:14 AM - Banker: probably sold on opskins
    4:16 AM - Banker: I'll think about it
    4:16 AM - Dworfy: okay sure
    4:16 AM - Banker: does that website value paint at 50%?
    4:16 AM - Banker: or not at all?
    4:16 AM - Dworfy: to be honest, no :)
    4:17 AM - Banker: well, my summer shades, villain's veil, war pig and fast learner are hue
    4:17 AM - Banker: and ellis cap too but that's not really important so the paint goes for less on it
    4:18 AM - Dworfy: if it was strange item, it will have more value
    4:19 AM - Banker: but yeah, taking in account all of those hue items I'm thinking 30$ is fine if anything
    4:20 AM - Dworfy: let's close the deal at 28$ :)
    4:20 AM - Banker: are we talking australian or american dollars?
    4:20 AM - Dworfy: usd
    4:21 AM - Banker: this doesn't include the paypal tax though
    4:21 AM - Dworfy: i'll cover for it
    4:21 AM - Banker: so you're saying 28 net for the backpack?
    4:21 AM - Banker: alright I'll think it throuh
    4:21 AM - Banker: through*
    4:21 AM - Dworfy: got it :)
    4:22 AM - Dworfy: just let me know if you will agree for it
    4:23 AM - Banker: oh wait I still have that stuff on opskins it just was on the bot not in my inventory
    4:23 AM - Banker: hold on
    4:24 AM - Banker: you want csgo stuff too?
    4:24 AM - Banker: or just tf2?
    4:24 AM - Dworfy: i'm fine with csgo items as well
    4:30 AM - Banker: let's see now
    4:30 AM - Dworfy did not respond to the trade request.
    4:31 AM - Dworfy: i'll just take a look at your inventory
    4:31 AM - Dworfy: anyway, in csgo i can do 80%
    4:31 AM - Dworfy: http://prntscr.com/hxuqqz
    4:31 AM - Dworfy: those 6 items at 80%
    4:32 AM - Dworfy: it will be $48 for csgo
    4:32 AM - Dworfy: http://prntscr.com/hxuqyw
    4:32 AM - Dworfy: $38 for tf2
    4:33 AM - Dworfy: $86 all in all
    4:35 AM - Banker: 88 since the usp has nip stickers worth 4 dollars and the comm is black?
    4:35 AM - Dworfy: give me a sec
    4:35 AM - Dworfy: i'll check it
    4:35 AM - Banker: on high value items you get better paint price
    4:35 AM - Dworfy: okay, it's a deal for 88
    4:37 AM - Banker: are you going to bother trading all of that stuff though?
    4:37 AM - Banker: or do you have someone do it for you
    4:37 AM - Dworfy: have you heard of steam inventory helper?
    4:37 AM - Banker: I have not
