    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198035321477

    Victim profile: 76561198011829493

    What happened? Description:
    Offered to buy an Unusual Cold Killer (scorching plasma) and 63 keys though paypal.
    He went first and all looked well as the money came through (in two separate transactions for the 2 separate purchases)
    I suspected something was fishy as he made no attempts to talk the price down and was very eager to buy these items at once even though he has a very small amount of tf2 gametime.
    His reason for this was that he was a mainly dota 2 and cs:go trader so I went along with it.
    Money went though fine, I sent the items and within five mintues I get a chargeback notification from paypal, claiming that the user was unaware of the purchase being made.
    After questioning him in chat he starts coming up with fake excuses saying he didnt chargeback and that paypal canceled the payment because he needs to send his passport and that if i just wait the payment will come though. Also all my items were quickly traded to another account likely connected to the scam account. I do not know which account it has gone to but I believe the unusual was one of one on backpack.tf so it shouldn't be to hard to track if someone has premium.​

    Provide Evidence:

    Proof of the main payment (can grab a screenshot of the 2nd payment if necessary)

    Proof of items being sent to the buyer

    Sorry for cropping this but this is my first steam rep report and is the only one I grabbed from the chat,

    [​IMG]
    Heres proof of the chargeback which happened about 5 mins after he got the items.

    Here is the the users profile, it is a 4 year old account which appears to be trustworthy. and has over 2k hours in dota 2.​

    The two additional attached images are just confirming that the user added me (hours before the scam) and showing the reason he used for the chargeback

    Excuse me what are you doing posting on this thread?
    This isn't even an official steam website no-one can help you get your skin back.
    and you are talking about a completely different user that scammed you.
    So make a new thread for that instead of hi-jacking mine

    Hello,
    I apologize for the delay in responding to this report. Unfortunately, we will be unable to proceed with the report due to the following:

    • Screenshots of your Steam inventory history are missing.
    • Screenshots of your Paypal Activity are missing.
    • Screenshots must be full screen, uncropped, unedited, and uploaded directly to the report; NOT hosted on other 3rd party sites.
    As such, this report will be marked Declined. Please read this guide: https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/report-submission-fundamentals.169802/ and https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/ prior to submitting a report.
