We have us a scammer in our midst folks. Lets see if we cant weed him out!

A user with the following details:

  • Username: Harold Baldovin
  • CommunityID: 76561198043346940
  • Custom URL: haroldbro
  • SteamID: STEAM_0:0:41540606
  • Status: Online
  • Steam member since: 2011-06-15

He messaged me on steam after adding me as friend, showed interest in Deus EX Augmented and we agreed on a trade.

I was stupid, I did not get his steamtrades profile and I gave keys first. Here is the trading window log before he took off and removed me as a friend.

  • Harold Baldovin: key go first 06:01:23
  • [TVoG] Typo: may i see your steamtrades profile link first? 06:01:42
  • Harold Baldovin: i dont have 06:01:52
  • Harold Baldovin: 0-0 06:01:56
  • Harold Baldovin: a frend tell about you 06:02:08
  • [TVoG] Typo: if you have NO rep, why would I go first, I only have 4 rep but its all positive and if you check my steam profile, you will also see I am a fair trader, even via paypal, you have ZERO rep, i cannot go first 06:02:35
  • [TVoG] Typo: ill go hitman key first, then u go, then ill do deux ex key, this is the best I can do 06:03:12
  • Harold Baldovin: ok 06:03:27
  • Harold Baldovin: i have lots steam rep 06:03:34
  • [TVoG] Typo: oh, yes u do 06:03:56
  • [TVoG] Typo: i was looking at the wrong profile 06:04:01
  • [TVoG] Typo: ok 06:04:02
  • [TVoG] Typo: Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Augmented Edition - EC078-CB5AX-5EHYL
    Hitman: Blood Money - 97MM8-MMPXH-AZ20G 06:04:47

Then the trade window closed, that last copy I had made before it closed (I sensed something might not be right so I copied it a couple times as we talked), there was like three more lines.... I said "hello?", he said "the firs one worked" then he somehow made my trade window close with an error and then unfriended me and i think blocked me too without sending me a single thing.

I also have the chat log from before we went into the trade window but I don't see that being too informative or worth posting.

He then said the first key worked ( i did not copy after this and the window closed when he ran) and dissapeared, then removed me as a friend.

Lets try and find his steamtrades profile so i can un-rep this guy and stop others from being taken advantage of by trying to make a decent trade on this great community.

He said a friend gave him my profile but I now realize that was a lie, he is here on this site somewhere.

Be warned and thanks for any help.

I did already put a steam support ticket in but do not expect that to result in anything.

I also put a post on SteamRep about this too.

Oh, that dude! Yeah he added me too. Rather obvious scammer, so he didn't get far with me.

That tag is BRAND new, he was not tagged earlier today.

He is obviously on a scamming spree or maybe a hijacked account.
