Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198991555900

Victim profile: 76561197981017686

What happened? Description:

"r00t" added me to buy my stattrak ak-47 blue laminate with a titan holo katowice 2014 sticker as I have been trying to sell it for a while. Everything went fine and we talked for a long time. We went on live screenshare on discord to do the transaction live. I sent him the trade, and then as soon as he accepted the trade he closed the discord and blocked my communication obviously without sending the money. In other words he scammed me for the agreed 265 euros. I only knew him trough conversation on steam. I offered to do it trough a private listing on some sites, but he didn't want to do that because of the terms of service.. He also seemed to have been dealing with GeRy as both the screenshots shows, aswell as the comment on his profile. He is also "friends" with some high tier traders such as chili.​

[15:01]Lil Martin | Graphic Designer: btw, proof of paypal transactions may be easily remade guys
Why dont i confirm it when i see the proof of transfer?

He has now changes his custom ID to https://steamcommunity.com/id/xr3m_0v3dx

He is now proudly presenting my ak.

Here is your screenshots.

How do u have a 0€ transactions in your PayPal? That just doesnt exist.

Yes, he transfered 0,10 nok to me as he fully knows that paypal takes a 0,10 nok fee. If you google translate "gebyr" it directly translate to "fee" So that is why it in screenshot 1 on the summary shows 0,00 as it shows the transfer after the fee has been drawn by paypal. The full transfer is shown in https://forums.steamrep.com/attachments/scam-17-png.744947/.
I am happy to give you every single detail you may requier so that people in the future won't be scammed by this guy.

My payment as been sent in €, and as family and friends. As everyone knows, using that options there are no fees.

Then I am sure you can supply the screenshots proving exactly that? And that you as shown in my screenshots has transfered the agreed amount of 265 euros?

He clearly stated this: https://forums.steamrep.com/threads...counter-strike-global-offensive-items.192302/ to one of his friends as his friend confronted him regarding his scam, and there should aparantly not be any problem for him to provide the proof. And i should also be able to document the fact that he has completed the agreed transfer with a screenshot from my paypal. I put a screenshot from my paypal taken right now (notice the time and date(it is what the time is in norway right now) to this reply aswell.

I'm working right now and I haven't acess to my computer. I already proved my inocence since the screenshot posted of my supposed 0€ transaction (regular PayPal users know that's Impossible) Anyways, if necessary in the next 1/2 days I can provide all necessary screenshots.
If the administration doesn't have all that time, feel free to ban me already (It won't afect my trades/game at all,since I'm almost trading with the same group of people).
Thans in advance for the waiting time @Horse .
Kind regards,
r00t.

"It won't affect my trades/game at all,since I'm almost trading with the same group of people" Seems like words usually spoken by an inocent man.. It will probably affect your trades when all our scam reports on steam has been processed. I can also inform you that Gergely Szabo allready have been notified on both steam and facebook. So I think this will affect you just fine.
Never the less, seeing as you need over 48 hours to provide a cupple of screenshot I can only assume you need this time to edit you screenshots. We do also know that your "0€" is in reality 0.10€ as shown in my screenshots.

The only way you can prove your inocense is by me beeing able to screenshot a payment of 265€ on my one and only paypal account.

I have to this replay also added updated screenshots of my paypal taken as of right now(notice time and date) + information you also are free to search for on google for the answer of your questions regarding your "0€" wich in reality is 0.10 and the exact amount of the fee.

Time: UTC/GMT +00:00 (WET)
Feel free to contact all other inocent envolved parts (can't understand why are their names here but okay), and you'll find out I always paid for my stuff .
As I said before, that 0€ PayPal screen already prove everything.
Thanks for the patiente @Horse .

And here is my screenshot once again. Where is your proof of you "friends and family" transfer?! If you in fact did transfer 265 with friends and family I would most certanly be able to see them in my paypal account as of right now. And we all ready established that the 0€ is fully possible as it in fact is a transfer of the minimum amount. Feel free to prove me wrong, but i will gladly transfer the same amount to anyone(but r00t) obviously, just to make the point
Theire names is just here as you aparantly felt very confortable yesterday, and I am simply just helping you see your walls close around you, and to help the other people that are unlucky enough to meet you, as you obviously dont "and you'll find out I always paid for my stuff"

But this is very simple. You prove and document the full friends and family transfer, and i will likewise upload yet another screenshot of the money recieved on my paypal account, wich as of now simply isn't possible as you obviously haven't completed the transfer.

And as an added bonus - I don't take 48 hours to upload 2 screenshots, wich don't even prove anything.
