Have you ever been scammed on steam?
The whole thing makes absolutely no sense. Valve can't and won't do anything about it, it was conducted entirely out of Steam trade tools. Sorry for your loss, but never trust random people on the Internet.

Maybe... just maybe you made this to make us think you're scammed and just want replies of condolences for yourself and are actually laughing at your computer screen.
I'm not one of those guys who just believes whatever is thrown at them on the internet.

Well, kind of...I traded for Flatout 3 (back when it did cost about 30€) because I liked the older Flatout games :P
But I traded for a CS GO beta invite, so nothing of value was lost (it was worth a bit back then though)

steam reports are more or less useless - report him to streamrep.com instead

What? What are you talking aout? OP said he got scammed and reported him on steam - I said , you may wanna report on streamrep. What are you refering to?
Comment has been collapsed.
You want to report the other on steamrep. For what? The OP gift him the game for free. There was no scam -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
not really: A trade agreement was made: The game for The position.
"So I decided to buy this guy csgo so i could get admin on his discord (450 members)"
On the screen the accused even said he will pay back.
A clear agreement was made, now broken. The Op deicided to report on steam, he should also do so on steamrep :)

Well, that was a stupid thing to do, wouldn't you agree? Even I wouldn't fall for that, and I'm like super-naive!

I never got scammed in my 12 years on Steam and 478 trades made. In fact, just a week ago I helped to put down deliberate scam operation, in which a group that impersonated steam employees and demanded that users send them their items for "verification" created multiple pages, accounts and even used trade banned accounts to make them look more convincing.

You maybe gotta get in contact with Brutus, I heard he plans something you might be interested in.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, then he banned me, then he blocked and unblocked me and because he has his privacy settings so only friends can message him he won't pay me back

As I mentioned in my comment below you've left out many details. Answering my questions below will help people better understand the situation cause everything currently is very unclear.

Scratches head So I'm going to attempt to try and understand all this by what you've posted..
So you bought some person on the net a $16 game and they said they were going to pay you back and you would be an admin on his discord server.
How long have you known this person?
Why was it you wanted to be an admin of his discord server? Was there some special perk or bonus for being an admin for this server? I'm trying to get a better understanding as to what about being an admin of this particular server worth buying a $16 game for.
When you did become an admin of his server? And how long after that did the conversation in the screenshot happen?
Was buying him this game part of the requirement to get admin on the discord server or was this something separate?
Did you talk to him about getting paid back? What did he say when you asked him?
You mentioned above now that he banned you from the server. Why did he ban you from server?
The details are so very vague and the screenshot is only a snippet of a conversation.
I'm trying to understand why you reported it to steam, Valve isn't going to be able to do anything about this. Why would think Valve would be able to help you with this?

I do it and he says he will pay me back in a week.
Then give him the copy next week -.- That wasnt scam, you was just stupid to give him the game for free.

Don't you think you're kind of... stabbing him in the back?

Report the person on Steamrep.com (with evidence) at least it will show there for other people. I only got scammed once by a person who scammed at least 100 other people, including many expert traders.

Expert trader which got scammed are not expert trader -.-

Many traders with 500+ rep got scammed with credit card fraud bought game, if you remember the Never Alone massive scam, that was it. The game was revoked from their libraries after few weeks. Besides you only have rep 6 on steamtrades -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
+rep are worthless. If I trade I say everybody they dont need to give me a +rep or they will be blacklisted + blocked on steam. Also, steamtrade is the worst trading website ever. I give a fuck on what you think ^^ +6 rep or +1000 rep, both is the same. Maybe soon you will learn that too.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, you will soon learn. Being known for trading is the most important thing for a trader. But I agree that any rep on Steam profile wall is worthless. And thanks for giving a fuck ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I do nearly 20 trades each day. I dont need to learn anything O.o
Being known for trading is the most important thing for a trader.
So what, fake +rep and you are well known? Good to know... not Thats the stupidiest thing I ever hear.
Comment has been collapsed.
Then show me any better way, there is none. You can't fake rep on Steamtrades. It's forbidden and you'll get banned. And if you think you can, go ahead, I dare you :)

It's forbidden and you'll get banned.
And who want you ban? There is no support -.-

He bought the game for him to be an admin on the discord server and he was an admin. There's so many details about this situation that are being left out..
Comment has been collapsed.
That's why I wrote "(with evidence)", don't worry, at Steamrep they don't just flag anyone. Talking about flags I don't know why he has "hidden" Nazi flag in his profile picture.

Remember kids!
The quest to become an admin is treacherous and laid with traps.
Be safe.

Well, congratulation: you are/were discord channel admin! You fall for that "I pay you next week..." silly scam line? Seriously, how old are you? Twelve? Welcome in the real world, be wiser next itme.

I got scammed by EA once and once by Activision.
Still didn't learn my lesson!
Oh well...someone can relate to my story?

So I decided to buy this guy csgo so i could get admin on his discord (450 members). I do it and he says he will pay me back in a week. Well he has the money for it and he is not paying me back. I reported him to steam, but I thought maybe some of the community could relate.
