I got scammed and IDK what to do.

[Robin]

I was on TF2 and someone added me and began telling me "I accidentally reported you for ilegall purchase, etc." and they gave me the Discord of a fake Spitko (respect to the real one that is not a scammer). And I lost 300$ and I recovered my account thank god but idk how to get my money back. Please someone help me.

I would not issue a chargeback to G2A as that can get you in trouble. It's not G2A's fault this occurred and they delivered the goods. If you issue a chargeback they can take legal action against you to recover the money and the fee's they have to pay.

Well, technically they're an intermediate and will only be out of a few bucks and some random people will be out of their wallet cards. But I find it hard to feel sad for people using that site.

Agree, I don't like the site but remember a chargeback can incur a fee of up to several hundred dollars, plus the cost of the gift cards. Afterall G2A isn't getting the money back and they did nothing wrong in this scenario. So your talking hundreds of dollars, not just a few bucks.

They aren't an intermediate as they had no part in the transfer of the gift cards to a 3rd party. They completed their part of the transaction.

If it was allowed anyone could walk into a store, buy a giftcard, sell it online and then demand a refund claiming it was stolen and then just issue a chargeback if they refuse.

It is a scam story.
It did not happen.
Do not follow scam stories.
Or things happen.

Got contakted on Discord

It's a scam. Ignore, report and block. Not sure why you're questioning it in all honesty.

and explain that i it was reported it never happened. And steam do have overwiev over items and other stuff suddenly moing inbetween accounts, so they would see i never ha recived anything i have not bought in the store...? Cahuse that is the god honest truth...

Don't bother. And I can explain why.

You could report me right now. For anything you want. Tell Valve I scammed you. I looted your inventory. Fabricate some screenshots. Whatever you think will help.

But Valve can see we've never interacted and I don't engage in trading or marketing. So there's nothing to do. Valve doesn't take action against user accounts just because some other users reports them. At the end of the day there has to be some evidence the user was actually doing the things the report is claiming.

As for items, account security is your responsibility. Valve doesn't restore items. All trades are final.

I don't think valve even take actions if the case is real .... cuz I've faced many scammers(I play csgo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) .. and reported them but as the report says that valve will let me know if they take any action but I never got such emails or notification...

You don't always get notified and often the accounts used to scam you are in fact innocent accounts that have been hijacked and eventually restored back to their original owner.
