Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt

Victim profile: 76561197967587372

What happened? Description:

He added me after posting a trade on CSGOLounge, I checked his account for rep and stuff, seemed fine. We spoke about prices and then agreed to use a middleman. When I tried to ask about his account looking suspicious, he threw us into a group chat with his fake middleman. I straight away checked this 'middleman's rep and called them out. They both scattered with their tails between their legs.

Please don't trade with this guy. And poor Penguin must be the most imitated middleman ever.

Fake Penguin even came back after his buddy had left just to check to see if I was still there. If I was quick enough I would have given him some abuse >:O​
