    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198084207999

    Victim profile: 76561197988668310

    What happened? Description:
    Person added me to talk about my circling heart Batter's Helmet. Supplied link to a forum of kinds (obviously easy to fake, but didn't put much thought into it).

    Claimed to have rep across several sites and /r/tf2trade, which was the case with a guy in encountered earlier, so again, didn't pay much mind. He wanted the hat first which I spent a few hours trying to avoid, but eventually just agreed to. He claimed to having sent the money but nothing came through, to which I sent back a fund request, again (what I consider) ignored.

    Few days later I wake up and got added by one of his friends (http://steamcommunity.com/id/ACoolURL/) who're apparently not too happy about him running around scamming people, considering he's meant to be a person of somewhat respectable posture, playing TF2 competitively etc. The guy tells me he's trying to make the scammer in question pay back people to at least some degree, which appears in the attached evidence. I accepted the ~30 keys he said he could come up with after being confronted by his friend, despite the hat being worth ~47.​
