1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Screenshots:
    Here's a screenshot of our chat and my trade history: http://i49.tinypic.com/2yv4d2p.png. I can provide screenshots of my PayPal page proving that I never received the money if necessary.

    This guy added me to buy 3 buds from me via PayPal and seemed to have extensive rep at sourceop (39 pages). I was a bit curious about him having no TF played at all and about his rep page (which turned out to be souceop.com instead of sourceop.com which I failed to notice). So, given his nice rep thread I figured I might as well go first, after which I never got to see the money. I suppose this could have been avoided by being a bit more alert, but what's done is done :/ I suppose this isn't the first time this guy has done this, he seemed like he knew pretty well what he was doing.

    Here's a transcript of the chat.

    Code:

    Okay, thank you :) I have also reported him to Steam Support, hopefully they (or an SR admin) will be able to trace where the buds went, since he traded them away almost immediately (forgot to mention that). So if he has another account he is using that the ALT will get banned too. If it's necessary to see pictures of my PayPal, just add me or ask here (I'd rather give that picture straight to an admin instead of posting it here).

    He also took the website forums.souceop.com down almost immediately. But for what it's worth, the domain is registered to Jimmy Hendrixieal (according to a friend). Probably all fake but if this helps at all:

    Well, actually I guess I can just post the PayPal image here too. http://i49.tinypic.com/20t2rew.png As you can see, there's no $105 payment on February. The other $105 payment which I refunded was from an earlier trade where the buyer wasn't able to trade. The $70 payment is from another trade (sold 2 buds just after the scam), if needed you can verify by asking this guy: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960678342.
