Scammer Report - Mediicinal/Andrew Sauvage

Explanation of the trade: My original trade thread - http://www.sythe.org/cs-go-market/1788782-h-paypal-70-value-w-steam-market-item-287-a.html


How they scammed: TLDR - Brought him 450m RS3 gold for $210 and deleted me from Skype, then responds with bullshit after I PM him on sythe.

Messaged me saying he had $234 on steam wallet but the item I wanted cost $287 originally. He offered to sell one of his skins then I notified him someone listed another same knife for $280.65, we agreed on price of 75% ($210). Shortly after I told him this, I saw the knife was brought off market like seconds later so I thought he got it for me and was a legitimate trader.

After much trouble of me trying to pay him and accomodate as best as I could, through using Skrill and Paypal sending multiple payments because there was something wrong with his account. Then he suggested an alternative method of buying him some Runescape gold. Since I believed he had the knife already, and went through the trouble to sell his AK Vulcan skin for me. and At this point it had been 2 hours so I thought okay as it would save us both a lot of trouble and headache after failing to work through Paypal.

Used teamviewer to guide me through the process and after asked to buy a bit more and he would pay extra. Pretty dumb of me not to see this as a red flag but I thought it was just a nice gesture after all this time I spent trying to make the deal work. So finally, back to the Steam trade and I am expecting to finally get the knife. He asks for my profile which then he says "ok imma add you now" which he never does and disappears. GG ... Worst part is I post a negative rep in his vouches thread and he tries to play things off as if I were a scammer and making up stuff like I tried scamming him on two Skype accounts. ???

ok just what?? heard from multiple people different accounts what is this nonsense

 

Looking into this for you.

Update - Unfortunately after some further investigation both Metal Oopa and I discovered that Andrew Sauvage / Powerbot_Andrew was impersonating Mediicinal and tricked Mediicinal into pming Metal the convo. This is also obvious in that the pm Metal shows does not show him talking to Andrew Sauvage, but rather Medi's real Skype. Andrew basically tricked both of them, unfortunately.

Adding the scam debt to his ban reason . Several banned Sythe accounts are linked to that Skype.

Sorry for your loss Metal Oopa.
