    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198137621984

    Victim profile: 76561198302828140

    What happened? Description:
    I had been added by this guy around 4 AM EST for my M4A1-S | Knight (Factory New) saying he added me from seeing my trade on csgolounge. This by all means isn't something sketchy itself, but i had been added by at least 5 other scammers within just a few hours so i was a little skeptical of him. I ran his ID through Steamrep to check for anything suspicious and found he has 2 unconfirmed reports for trying to scam people and impersonate a middleman (BigBangTheory). I kept this in mind though as i talked to him as he asked my price, i replied with 240$ minimum as it is around that price and was also a severely lucky drop i got, so it held a bit more value to me. He agreed to the price and i gave him my paypal and told him to send it via friends and family, not an invoice, as usually this trips up a person attempting the invoice scam. As expected though, he started stalling quite a bit by talking about how he had been scam out of a lot before, like most scammers tend to do anymore to make themselves seem more "legitimate", even though it doesn't work at all. I told him to quit stalling, and he decided he wanted to go with the Steamrep Middleman impersonator scam, i went along with it and even added Etherfast from the middleman list on Steamrep. He linked me a few profiles of middlemen, all of which were the actual middlemen, except the link he sent for BigBangTheory. Due to the scammers i dealt with earlier, i had gotten a quick habit of making sure to look at the custom URL's of the middlemen on here and immediately noticed the difference in the custom URL between the real BBG and the imposter, i then pointed this out to him, linked the real BBG's profile, and he promptly blocked and removed me. No paypal transaction had taken place as he kept stalling and avoiding sending the money.​

    Had he not run off a bunch like that and narrowed down to the fake MM I may have pushed this thru but as it stands he may not have known... however based on past history I'm inclined to believe that and I'll move this to review.
