Danish skin-scammer sentenced to probation 0

A fraudster / scammer was Tuesday. June 7 sentenced to 30 days suspended sentence, after having deceived his way to two persons skins. Here were the skins for about 5,000 kr. Skins where Nicolai "Nille" Pedersen was one of the two people who were exposed to fraud. Nille decided to report it, and it gave surprising paw when the police show interest in the case. We have chosen to hear the whole scenario from Nille's point of view, where he tells the story from start to finish.

Tell what happened on your part - you started out being scammet, so what?

It started out with, I created a post on CS: GO Denmark, where I wrote that I sold my knife when I had lost interest in the game. I was subsequently contacted by a person who had an interest in buying my knife where we agreed on a price of 1,510 kr. He told me that his mobile was for repair, but instead he sent the money through bank transfer and I would thereby received the money on Monday now that it was Saturday. Since I had not received the money on Monday morning, I contacted him again, he assured me that the money enough to come in at some point. On Tuesdays deleted and he blocked me everywhere so I had no further contact with him.

    After I had lost all contact with him, I decided to make a review on the police website. This gave quick paw, when after a few days got a call from a police officer who told me that they saw potential in the case because another person had also contacted them and notified the same person. After some months, I was called as a witness in court in Odense, where I met him who had scammet me out in the waiting rooms. We came into the trial, and I used my conversations with him over Steam as evidence, and the case was almost home when he in no way trying to defend himself. But how did the trial? It must surely have been really confusing for lawyer and judge when you apply talks on a platform they probably do not know about that evidence?

Both the judge and his lawyer was totally confused and did not understand what it referred. I also really surprised at the result, but it will come after that he is not trying to defend themselves, which is only good for me, and the other was scammet. How the case was closed?

I was not present when the case was closed, since I come from Zealand, and bear witness 9:30 AM. The case did not end until 15:30, but I drove really just back home after I had testified. I contacted However, later a contact to the point where I got the final results to know. I am pleased to know that he has got a penalty after all this mess. It is unknown whether scammeren have made fraud like this before, but everything suggests that it is not the first time. His full punishment consists of 30 days imprisonment, 40 hours of community service and replace protection of the stolen skins for a total of 5,000 kr. Of the 5,000 kr. Payable to the victim is 1.510 kr. Of them Nille and the other part to another prosecutor who obviously had been scammet for more. Nille has also been paid for the run between Zealand and Funen about 1,000 kr., And received approximately 6 hours of labor. He has not yet received the 1,510 kr. From the offender, but have the opportunity to move after the money if he does not receive them.

What do you think about scammers and what can be done to guard against them ??
