    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198020509860

    Victim profile: 76561198070001821

    What happened? Description:
    Offered to buy 2 unusual hats with IRL funds. After I traded him the items, he deleted me from his friends list and turned his profile private.​

    Provide Evidence:
    He added me to offer to buy my 2 unusuals for 114 euros. I was skeptical, yet he had a high steam level, a clean steamrep and lots of games/items on TF2. I have no rep, so I decided to go first, and after I traded him the items he deleted me and set his profile to private.

    Proof of initial trade agreement:

    Proof of broken agreement or scam attempt:

    Screenshot after clicking on name from item inventory (same for when clicking from chat window):

    I'm not sure if this matters, but he also has some negative reputation on his backpack.tf profile, which I can link. (I checked it and thought that backpack showed both positive and negative reviews automatically :( He has A LOT of negative rep on there saying he is a scammer.

    I'm sad to loose my items, I spent a lot of time getting them, but as long as this f✿✿✿✿er is marked I'll be happy.

    Will keep the relevant windows open, can provide further evidence if necessary.​

    The same person has just contacted me for pretty much the same purpose, he was interested up until I said he'd have to go first, at that point he changed his mind as he was "out of funds". I'm sorry this happened to you.

    I do recommend you also screenshot your Paypal balance currently with transaction history (Just censor names) to help you out further here. Good luck!
