    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198206311057

    Victim profile: 76561198058662819

    What happened? Description:
    I've known Shiny Lucario for a minimum of a month, i know he buys backpacks or items for real money through paypal; i never done any exchange since i did not need any money.
    However i had 2 keys and a pair of earbuds left which i did not want to use so when we were talking he asked me if he could buy my earbuds, then added 2 keys to make it easier for him to pay.
    I was fine with it since he was paying 5 keys in total with real money (exact amount for the items, however the payment would be slightly more to pay paypal fees).
    I trusted him; we spoke for quite a while and i didn't see anything bad in him, so i went first as a good trader would do, and as soon as he got my items he started to slowly make his replies take more time to arrive and make up excuses he was doing something.
    After a day i still haven't received any money and when i asked if i could have my items back he unfriended me (i checked his backpack he does not have any of the items i gave him).​

    Just realized you can't really see the date on the paypal one, here is a better version of it.

    I got warned about this guy by Nympholama shortly after the scam happened and've kept him on my friend's list to remind me to keep up with the report, and I have a few things to add (though I'm not sure to what degree it'd help)
    An assumed alt account that Nympholama's items have probably been put in, assisted by the fact that the last time it was online was when the scam occurred: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198129382946
    And the fact that today I noticed some more odd activity from him, seeing the default ? icon getting me to check out his profile, which now looks like he might be attempting to impersonate a giveaway bot (putting in two screenshots; note the url change to "sweepstakesbot8")

    Not sure if it helps but I got the guy to admit to scamming. Good luck!

    @Nympholama If you don't mind please go thru and screen shot your trade inventory history - be sure to make sure the URL is enabled to show at the top, mouse over or put the pointer on the users name in question so it shows the hypertext/url at the bottom of the browser when you screen shot. Don't edit it in anyway and upload here please. Thanks!

    @Nympholama Thanks for that, and since its been a while from the report start - I'd need a retake of your paypal history from say Nov 20th till now if you don't mind. Make sure not to edit it at all and show URL at top of screen.

    This are all the transactions of september 2015 and december, nothing in the middle nor his "payment".

    Also the link to his backpack.tf to see more proof he is a scammer.
