    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198265140243

    Victim profile: 76561198178207759

    What happened? Description:
    After listing my professional killstreak black box kit on outpost I was added by someone who offered to buy it for real life money. They claimed they would pay me via paypal pal for the item, then the proceeded to send me an invoice from paypal (which is requesting payment, not giving it), and then claimed money would only come through after I traded them the item. After consulting a friend who is much more of a professional traded I realized it was a scam and I have not accepted their offer to either give them money through paypal or to give them my item.​

    Hello first of all i wanted to say i honestly had no intentions of scamming anyone here i wanted to let him go first because he didnt have much rep and didnt seem too trustable. So i went on making an invoice to make him get me the item so then i could honestly send him the money. I honestly didnt want to go first because i know it is not safe for either party. I just want to say i am very sorry for anything this has caused for anyone here and im also very sorry inventory i did not have any intentions of taking your items away and then just leaving with them without paying. Also i want to say a big sorry to steamrep for wasting your time for this when there are many other cases to be taken care of.

    Thanks and have a great day!
