    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561197972882874 ()

    Victim profile: 76561198068604742

    What happened? Description:
    This person added me to buy 2 buds that I was selling on outpost. We talked and they decided to buy both. They went first as they did not have any reputation. They had 9 years of steam, over 150 games and 4700 hours of time on tf2 and seemed legitimate. So I accepted. Everything was fine until yesterday they charged me back on Paypal for a fraudulent purchase. I attempted to add them back and figure out what had happened, but they denied my friend request. I see this as a blatant scam. I have provided screenshots below.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I have attached picture proof of the items traded and the paypal report. I do not have chat logs as he bought the buds several days ago​

    I can't post a screenshot that is uncropped as I had done a decent number of transactions in between them buying the buds and them actually charging back. If several screencaps of the related dates are okay, I will supply them
