Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198026522914 ()

Victim profile: 76561197990846423

What happened? Description:

He paid me in total 1,924 USD for 8 TF2 Unusuals (Burning Flames & Scorching Flames) and 11 EarBuds (between level 20 and 100)​

Provide Evidence:

Person pays me, see the chat log.
The chat log is in PDF format to make it easier to read.
"Purple Scam Proof 05" is a chat screenshot proof and the rest goes further on the PDF files, to make it much easier to read and to follow.
I have nothing to hide as I just lost like 1,924 USD due this scammer guy!

The email address he used are also included, for if you encounter this guy, so be aware of this guy and his alt accounts on Paypal!!
(Purple Scam Proof 06)

1 of the items I found back ( http://www.tf2outpost.com/item/440,2673075208,178,5 ) is my Burning Flame Unusual.
And here ( http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/11579 ) is my History of the Unusuals I was selling.
I hope this is enough evidence for the Admins to stop this guy from scamming other people.

Today he samiha suleman, is charging back his cash after he paid me like 1 week ago! I have called and emailed PayPal like crazy these days. He seem to always put a note (Purple Scam Proof 01) that he will not chargeback, yet after 3 days or even more, he do chargeback!!
Furthermore, he always put as reason Unauthorized Payment, and PayPal seems to believe it!

I have removed my email address and real name in all these screenshots.​

I watched other reports and it seems I forgot something. My trade history.
So here we go!

I need the original chat agreement in an unedited full screen Steam client browser.

Where do I found that? It's been 11 days since the trade occured.

And everything happened on Steam chat, while no game was playing nor loaded in the background.
I thrusted this guy, so all I have is here above. I gave you all the information and all PDF files are unedited.
By the time I realised that I was scammed, my Steam was already closed as the first chargeback was kinda believable that the guy used his dad's account.
The second and all the other chargebacks happened the day after, when my Steam Gaming Platform was already closed as I don't play games on Steam that often anymore and I was selling my TF2 Unusuals as I needed money. If this is really not enough for you as a "investigator" than I should just leave it with this.
This Purple Spartan guy has been 8 days offline on Steam (I checked it now, because I was looking for "original chat agreement in an unedited full screen Steam client browser.")
So basically you have all the information that I have on my computer. I'm sure we won't see this guy pretty soon, as he knows that more than 5 people are complaining on him. And you have only 2 full reports and my half report here.

Based on the 2 similar threads against "Purple Spartan " I'm glad that other people have the evidence that you need about "original chat agreement".
The next time that I get scammed, I will screenshot the s✿✿✿ out of the conversation in fullscreen, yet I don't use the Steam client browser as it lags on my computer.

I will mark this ready for review and it will be up to the admin to decide if the pdf file is enough proof.

Because it's old news and nobody seems to care anymore, even the Federal Computer Crime Unit and paypal doesn't seems to care and steamrep just wants more proof...

Well... Let me just copy paste and screenshot every email that I still have in my "Paypal Issue" email folder and paste it all here for someone that gets paid by one of these email addresses so that steamrep admin can see that I got scammed of for a total of 1924 USD. I really hope, based on the fact that Purple Spartan guy is banned 480 days ago, that he never scams anyone else through Steam or any other TF2 related trading website!

Paypal seems to not care that people use the "personal payment" trick to scam off people. Based on this email I received way back, I know that scammers will never be caught by Paypal who pays with "personal payment" and later reclaim their money back.

Anyway, have a good day. Hopefully some people will face judgement for disrespecting honest people.

Was removing some old very old emails and found this email about a payment and "virtual item". (first photo "Screenshot 07-03-19 11.38.31.jpg" )
Than I clicked on the link, it went to paypal and than I saw this (second photo Screenshot 07-03-19 11.32.10.jpg )
The emails are still in my folder "Steam"

I know, this is a very very old thread, but I have not forgot about this issue!
