ABOUT Scammed by Umm Shaif (Abu Dhabi)

Group of people who got their accounts locked after trading with User "Umm Shaif (Abu Dhabi)"

We created this group to emphasis the amount of people who were scammed and afterwards locked out by steam after trading keys or items to "Umm Shaif". We want to spread awareness for victims of scams such as these.

How "Umm Shaif" operates:

1) "Umm Shaif" would tell us that he was in need of tradeable keys/items and that he needed them as soon as possible.

2) He then would offer a trade for Steam wallet funds for a series of trades to lead to keys/items.

We had to put some cheap items of ours for sale on the Steam Marketplace pricing them expensively using the item-value of the items that he requested from us.

3) He would proceed to buy those items and in return we would give them the requested items/keys.

As a result victims of that kind of trade were quickly trade banned / account-restricted by steam without chance of an appropriate appeal, since it seem that "umm shaif" had acquired his wallet funds by fraudulent means.

Here a list of the accounts "umm shaif" is currently using:

SteapRep Scam Report:
http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-76561198105727002-csgo-counter-strike-global-offensive-items.99543/


Nobody in this group had the intention to fuel a credit card fraud or to incur into a fraudulent deal.
As steam users we are not provided with tools that can detect a fraudulent user / bad intention of someone offering us a trade.
We used the steam marketplace and the steam trade windows to complete our trades, not being aware that such kind of trade would lead to our accounts being restricted.
We do understand that Steam has to protect its community and platform from fraud /fraudulent users.

However, locking the account of legitimate consumers permanetly is not the solution. Most of us have spend a considerable amount of money on this platform and on their accounts.

What stops fraudsters from creating new accounts, using stolen credit cards and continuing the hunt for new victims? The only loss i see here, is that Valve loses several customers by applying this policy. Locked users should be able to defend themselves from a permanent lockout and Valve should take their time to judge this correctly in their own interest.

Hopefully Steam Support takes our plea and understands that we did not attempt to partake any wrongdoing or unlawful behaviour towards the steam community.
