    Screenshots:

    http://files.f-o-g.eu/1gd4f3 Proof that the accused has attempted to scam the victim with a fake trade offer. Taken from skype, as the victim was not aware on how to create the screenshot.

    Description:

    The victim has asked me about an attempted scam via trade offers. I told the victim that they can report the scammer on our forums, but the victim said that they do not have enough time. I suggested I would make the report for them, and they would only have to confirm this by posting on the report.

    The screenshot explains the rest of the story. McScott attempted a Steam wallet scam. The victim will comment on the report soon.

    Transcript of our chat incase it is needed:
    Code:
    AlienABD: can i ask you a question plz?
    F7are: Sure
    AlienABD: I need to post It to imgur tho
    AlienABD: Can i have a link?
    AlienABD: Idk how imgur works
    AlienABD: A guy tried to scam me By a Fake money deposit
    F7are: Invoice?
    AlienABD: Soo listen
    F7are: http://imgur.com
    AlienABD: He sented me A trade offer for My ak-redline And it said on the Trade thing By him In the Box:    A sum of $7.99 will be Aded to your Steam Wallet after this Transaction Occurs.
    AlienABD: Thats fake right
    F7are: Oh right, a fake offer.
    AlienABD: Yes
    F7are: Yeah, people cannot interact with your wallet directly on Steam
    AlienABD: His profile link
    AlienABD: http://steamcommunity.com/id/31stMcScott
    F7are: Are you interested in reporting him to SR?
    AlienABD: Ohh yes
    AlienABD: I did many Times but i dont think Anything every happened
    F7are: On SR?
    AlienABD: Mmmm to steam actually
    F7are: Ah right. Steam only trade bans someone after they've been reported enough.
    F7are: Do you still have the trade offer in your offer history?
    AlienABD: yes i do
    AlienABD: Not even history
    AlienABD: Its right there
    F7are: That's good
    F7are: You'll need to open the page with the trade offer in your history, and then make a screenshot while you're hovering your mouse over the icon of the accused. That way we can be certain that the guy you tell us sent it, actually set it.
    AlienABD: Ok
    F7are: Did you report the guy only on Steam?
    AlienABD: Yes
    F7are: Alright.
    AlienABD: Now?
    F7are: Save the screenshot and go here: http://forums.f-o-g.eu/threads/1933-how-report-scammer-read-first.html
    F7are: You'll need to upload the screenshot to http://files.f-o-g.eu/ and copy the link that gives you on the report as proof
    AlienABD: I am confused one sec
    AlienABD: Ok
    AlienABD: Can i just send you from imgur?
    AlienABD: and you put it
    F7are: Sure, I can do that.
    AlienABD: Ok
    AlienABD: and the Guy also Took my bullet rain
    F7are: Also a fake trade offer, or another scam?
    AlienABD: IT was a scam this time
    AlienABD: By the same person
    F7are: Do you have proof for that too? If not, that's no problem since you have proof for the trade offer scam.
    AlienABD: He played the Midman Trick on me
    F7are: Ah right. I assume you don't have screenshots of the chat?
    AlienABD: I do actually
    F7are: Oh, do you also have the Steam IDs of everyone involved?
    F7are: I mean, the middleman scammer
    AlienABD: Ohh i forgot to say
    AlienABD: I have one more scammer
    AlienABD: He said he was gonna Boost me On csgo Just one round I gave him a skin Yeah and after 1 min block
    AlienABD: idk if thats a scam
    F7are: It sort of is, considering you had an agreement that he broke. But, I'm not sure if SR accepts that kind of report.
    AlienABD: Mmm true
    F7are: It involves non-Steam items and actually breaks the subscriber agreement to lend your account.
    AlienABD: I uploaded
    AlienABD: to imgur
    F7are: Can you give me the link?
    AlienABD: Mmm how
    AlienABD: wait
    AlienABD: http://imgur.com/gallery/p5DJ27I/new
    AlienABD: there you go
    F7are: That won't do, sadly. I need you to take it from your webbrowser, and I need you to hover your mouse over the accused's icon while screenshotting. Also I will need you to not crop it
    AlienABD: Ohh ok
    AlienABD: But i cant do my mouse i use an app that wont let me :/
    F7are: You could install Lightshot to do it, or press Print-screen and then paste in Paint
    AlienABD: why do i need mouse btw
    F7are: Because that way a link appears in the bottom left, showing us that the guy you're accusing is the guy in the screenshot
    AlienABD: It is
    F7are: I'd like to trust you on your word, but we need solid proof for it
    AlienABD: It is solid proof -.-
    F7are: It's not, because it could be someone else with the same profile picture and name
    AlienABD: I have an idea
    AlienABD: skype?
    F7are: Sure.
    F7are: My skype is xNickston .
    AlienABD: aight gonna add you and show ya
    AlienABD is now Online.
    AlienABD: ok
    F7are: Added me?
    AlienABD: you see?
    F7are: Yes
    F7are: It needs to be in the web browser, not in Steam
    F7are: One sec, need to see if I can get a better screenshot
    AlienABD: Kk
    AlienABD: what will happen to him?
    F7are: Yeah, I got it.
    AlienABD: probs nothin
    F7are: He will get marked on SteamRep, which means that several trading sites will flatout deny him to use the site.
    AlienABD: so he cant bet anymore riight?
    F7are: Depends on the site. If the site uses an SR filter, he cannot bet on it.
    AlienABD: Example
    AlienABD: http://csgofast.com
    F7are: It doesn't seem like Csgofast uses an SR filter.
    AlienABD: anyways thx :D
    F7are: No problem, will you be making the report?
    AlienABD: Yes
    AlienABD: what
    AlienABD: what you mean
    F7are: I mean if you will be posting it on the FoG forums
    AlienABD: No
    F7are: That way I can pretty much instantly validate it.
    AlienABD: can you ^^
    F7are: Yeah, I can if it's on the FoG forums
    F7are: Not on SR though. But we will mark them on SR, even though it's on our forums.
    AlienABD: nvm then  :P
    AlienABD: i dont have time right now to post it
    AlienABD: gonna play some csgo
    AlienABD: and leave
    F7are: Alright. I can also post the report for you, you will only need to validate that it happened then.
    AlienABD: Ok thx ^^

    Marked.
    Don't need confirmation of victim here, as it was taken thru Skype with a trade mod in it.
