You're most probably being scammed. He could've sent it without making you wait.

That's an invoice, invoice scams are pretty common so you've been scammed for sure like others have already stated before me.

Look up Paypal invoice scams on Steamrep. Sadly you just got caught out by it. Like the others have said, that's him billing you for 92 euros rather than him sending you that amount.

He scammed you for the Assassin's Creed Pack and now is also trying to get 92 euros from you.

He appears to have taken your game and also sent you a bill for 92 euro for the privilege - I believe that is about as bad as scamming gets.

  1. Block him
  2. Report him on steamrep
  3. -rep him on SG (if he has an account)
  4. Cry in the corner

Report him for scamming. Don't give him anymore games. You are probably not gonna get your game back.

Screen cap it or something and use it since Paypal is going to charge you 92 euros for the game you sent him

plus he might try to scam you for more shit if you let him.

You can ask him nicely to give you the game back - which is unlikely but I don't see what else you can do. I know for a fact Steam won't help after you have disregarded all of their advice and traded for stuff outside of the trade window (paypal). I really wouldn't sell him any more games if he is just going to bill you for them.

were you perfectly clear to him that his method of "paying" is wrong?

tell him to send the money via paypal or he'll get reported.

As far as I know, Valve wouldn't help him even if they didn't change their policy, since they don't allow "paypal trades".

He wouldn't get his items anyway. Change in Valve policy is only about trades made in steam window. For example, if you trade CSGO weapon for keys and you'll get scammed, they will not give you your weapon back.

Your items are lost. Nothing to do but to request he is marked as an scammer in reputation sites, and maybe report him on Steam. You better learn from this experience.

Never ever trade via PayPal with somebody you don't know. Especially not for 92 € :/

Please for your own sake: Stop trading then. If you really spend 92 € for a scammer you are the last person that should trade. Just get games for yourself and quit trading.

I really really hate to say it - but I think just maybe you aren't cut out for trading. It isn't for everyone. Consider possibly stopping and simply investing in stuff that you want yourself.

How does that saying go,fool me once shame on you,fool me twice,shame on you,fool me thrice shame on me

I wish i could feel bad for you,maybe if this was your first time and just made a error in judgement but if what you say is true and you allowed yourself to be scammed 3 times you only have yourself to blame

tell him you have his real name (which you likely don't, that name looks fake as fuck) and you're going to sue him,
that and tell him, he will be reported in paypal, the CSGO communities and everywhere else (steam related)
which you are going to do to fuck at least his reputation for good if he does not return the game or pay up

I already appologized.

but seriously, this kid should learn the basic rules in life before sending more or less valuable items to some complete stranger from the internet before getting the payment first. everyone gets ripped off in their life, I learned my lesson at age 4 when I traded my toy car for nothing and the other kid ran away and never came back. :_(

I know that feel, the same thing happened to me when I was... I don't know, 7 yo? I sold my old toy cars to one of my friends, he was collecting them and I wasn't using them so I decided to get some cash for them. He paid me like 25% in daily payments and then stopped paying and gave me shitty excuses every day haha :p

According to the image he's asking you to pay him 92 EUR so Yup....You got scammed.Since you've him in your friend list & he wants more games thinking that you'd fall in the same scam twice,You could use this against him and get your game back.I don't have a plan right now but i think you can come up with a smart move since he seems to be too idiot to think that he can scam someone more than once by the exact same method.

Probably take advantage of his greed. For example, get into another trade that's going to be in his favour, but expect he give you back the previous game first and then he'll get something even more expensive in return.

It's a pretty long shot, but I reckon your best chance of scamming back a scammer is leading them to think they're going to get even more out of it than they originally did. Just make sure they don't.

All that said, scamming a scammer is possibly still going to get you in trouble of some sort. Proceed at your own risk. It would suck if they reported you despite being a scammer themselves.

quote from your profile:
I don't accept friend invites from:

➠Low Level Profiles
➠Private Profiles
➠Profiles with Private Inventories

and yet you accepted a friends request from a person with a private profile, that ended up scamming you the hard way. you do not seem eligible for scaming somebody.

just report him, (as you already did) and forget about your game, but dont fall for his paypal trick.

Isn't it possible that he doesn't know how to use paypal and made a mistake? What I don't understand is why he would still be in your friends list and talk to you if he was a scammer. Anyway, sad for you that this happened.

From what I have seen if they have scammed someone once then until they are called out they will keep pushing to see if they can scam them again. There isn't much comeback against most scammers so it isn't like they have anything to lose, and they can always switch accounts anyway...

because he find someone who just gave him 92eur game pack and is possibly willing to give even more. he will unfriend the moment he hears scam accussation ;p

my 2 cents: Dont try to play his game....Take it as a lesson learned... Be smart...if it is too good to be true then probably it is... Get over it and try not to do the same mistakes. Be nice... eat healthy... do exercise... read good books,,,play good games... have good friends... live long...
