causevd Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 His thread: His profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/D1DinoCSGO/ Looks like he was selling his inventory for crypto. I added him and then we proceeded with the discussion. You can see that we are not talking in English, looks like he is Serbian so me (coming from Macedonia) have similar language so we can easily understand each other. We agreed for me to buy 270 keys off him for $1.55 crypto. He requested USDC which I agreed. In the first screenshot you can see the price and he provides me his USDC address. He also confirmed that he is using Coinbase Pro. (see screenshot 2) He provided me his USDC address: 0xA15Ccd4F9D5D06B15EF9962f6dbC28DEcc5Aedc6 where I have sent $418.5 USDC. He told me that after the USDC gets confirmed for me to send him an offer with the keys so that he can accept it and send me the keys. After I sent the crypto I sent him an offer. As soon as he received the funds (confirmations got cleared on Coinbase) he declined the offer of 270 keys (see picture 4) and removed me from friend (see picture 5). Please don't do any deals with him and avoid being scammed. Master of the Hellish Yard, G R O W U P, phenompak and 5 others 2 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApothicЯ Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Guy whose backpack went from 0 to $9K last week, no rep. Obvious red flag there. You can only blame yourself if you went first on that one... (saw you didn't have any too, you should have asked for splitting the trade in several parts then) Charlotte and rndmchrs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only blame yourself if you went first on that one... (saw you didn't have any too, you should have asked for splitting the trade in several parts then) In fact that inventory value from $0 to $9k doesn't meant anything to me because I have friends who literally made a lot of money in crypto they wanted for fun to purchase some skins and their inventory went from $0 to $25k+ ... I know. There's no one to blame but me. It was completely my fault, I don't know what I was thinking, it was one of those morning days where you wake up and later when you rewind it back you are "wtf" did I just do. It's okay, not a big deal for me, not a big loss, just wanted to point out so that no one else get scammed. And also a lesson for me fran and n_n 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want you can close this thread if you feel like it's "useless" It's not a useless thread by any means but it's much more efficient just to report the user's trade thread and submit a BPTF Issue report. You can gather all the information from the public guide I've linked you, I was a bit confused since I didn't see any reports on BPTF for the user instead you reported the user on SteamRep but that works too.

I have reported it on both places (here on backpack.tf and on SteamRep) on both places the report was marked as "invalid" due to the rule that you guys have that the trade is not done in English. It is unfortunate but it is what it is. Anyway, all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander331 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What's the point of even having an Issue Tracker if the Mods will never follow-up? There are issues dating back over a year and still haven't been resolved at all. Anyway, since both your reports got marked as invalid on Steamrep and Backpack.tf, your best bet will be to send a report to Steam Support with the evidence you provided here. There is zero chance of getting any form of recuperation, but there is the slightest chance Steam Support may give the scammer a Trade Ban.

Just did some research its crazy how this dude has so many high level steam accounts. Its either he is buying them or he uses his tf2 keys to level up. Also funny thing is that he doesn't hide his personal info as he has his youtube / twitter / facebook shared. Looks like what he said to me matches with his personal accounts.

I mean I got nothing with this as I haven't given you a negative rep but this is people choice. If they deem that your a suspect and they ask you to show proof then why don't you share it publicly, instead you will gain more trust by people. History of chat logs + trade proofs + transactions proof of crypto. It shouldn't hurt right? I might be wrong in your case but I've seen people buying accounts with previous activity, similar to yours. Where they have facebook page, twitter etc ... There are many accounts that can be bought like this by scammers. Anyway people asked for proof, so its up to you. Not sure what mods can do in here but good luck!

I dislike the fact that the culture here seems to be guilty until proven innocent and not the way around. There are telltale signs when a twitter (and similarly a steam/fb page) is clearly bought (weird followers, no posts then suddenly a flurry of posts just recently etc.). I maintain a csgo-rep thread (a popular way to record cash transactions in the CS:GO scene) here https://csgo-rep.com/profile/76561198078427026 For your consideration I've picked out a recent review here of a 2.3k transaction (convo in the attachment) txid https://tronscan.org/#/transaction/50c56625634bb479d0f23ab618d5604abca7cdf1a0e5aed775ebd5e70996c908@hollowka @RussellSproutz_YT RussellSproutz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
