    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198116806914 ()

    Victim profile: 76561198044043973

    What happened? Description:
    This guy added me to offer me a 310$ PayPal transation for my Unusual
    He has a SourceOP link of his reputation, but since SourceOP is down I wasn't able to see it
    SourceOP link --> http://forums.sourceop.com/threads/144157-Basty-s-Rep-Thread
    So I saw his rep in SteamREP and I saw apparently nothing wrong with his profile, but he has 2 banned friends and another one tagged TF2OP CAUTION.
    I decided to see his OP profile here --> http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/76561198116806914 and I found out that he was an alt of a banned account. I don't know what alt account is.
    I asked him about his main account and his TF2OP profile but all I got as an answer was his rermoval from friends after 6 minutes of silence.
    Basically he attempted a paypal scam, even if he has a SourceOP thread I don't believe him, he would told me why his main has been banned, right?

    SourceOP is back online, you could have google searched the reputation thread by cache. Either way, the owner of the SteamID of that rep thread is:

    http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198013689765

    So it's an imitator. From the way I see it anyway.

    EDIT.. I've marked the user, so thanks for your report! Seems he has tons of alt accounts, and has been attempted / scammed people on a lot of them now.
