    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198001031178 (sNy [2725])

    Victim profile: 76561197965947342

    What happened? Description:
    Made two successful PayPal trades with him for Keys and 5 Bills Hats and then he bolted on a Strange Gunslinger & Machina deal. He had decent SourceOP rep (better than me at least) and he had paid for two other transactions already so seemed trustworthy.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Evidence provided in the attached files - agreement was made to buy the Gunslinger & Machina for the amount stated, then he bailed after they were sent. Inventory History shows who I traded to.​

    I've already closed the chat window, thought that would be enough? And you can see that I've traded to him in the inventory history. I have saved the text of the entire conversation but it's not in a screenshot.

    The PayPal history shows our various transactions. I initially sold him 5 Bills Hats for the $50 charge at the start, which he added an extra $3 fee on for afterwards when it had come out of my share. Then he bought 35 keys for the £41 charge, and then he bailed on the 3rd sale and fee on the previous sale. He attached a message in the key sale that confirmed his Steam account identity and that he would not chargeback, although we'll see how that pans out. Do you need anything else?

    Also, he set his backpack to private while he was getting rid of the Gunslinger & Machina and now they're gone. Not sure how I would be able to find them now?

    As for the screenshots you recently provided:
    a) Picture of inventory history does not indicate that the trade occurred (it is probably a Steam bug), please take another one.
    b) PayPal screenshot shows the recent activity, but I asked you to log in to the PayPal account, then choose View all operations on my account. Please take another one.

    Oops, sorry about that. Didn't even see the inventory history didn't display properly. This one shows it.

    Just in case the crop is a problem on the PayPal, here it is in the window.

    Additionally, here's his post in my SourceOP rep thread where he mentions the Bills trade. As you can see he is also banned there, although how that happened so fast I'm not sure. Automatic when accused on here?
