    Scam Report

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

    Victim profile: 76561197966563795

    What happened? Description:
    Person bought 2 buds via paypal with verified account and then payment was put on hold. Another seller got in touch with me after seeing my +rep and said his paypal got reversed and the guy gave a different paypal account. Clearly a scammer. :(

    Provide Evidence:
    This guy got in touch with me yesterday. Seemed a little shady but I couldn't find anything hard on him. I noted that he moved my items from his pack almost immediately after getting them and noticed that he also traded for a maxhead after mine and that moved out quickly which made my very suspicious. Anyway I googled his 64bit id (which I should have done prior to transaction) and found that he was banned from tf2b for using alts.

    yaddi yaddi yadda, he used a hacked paypal and got away with my two buds.

    Evidence below.​

    I was contacted by this WhiteCorn as well. He wanted to buy my hat and sent me the money using a hijacked paypal account. Paypal realised it was hijacked, put the payment on review as soon as I got it. The guy kept insisting I trade the hat since he sent me the money but I did not trade until review was completed. As expected Paypal found the payment to be fraudulent and reversed it.
