    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198170870501

    Victim profile: 76561198203793101

    What happened? Description:
    This user added me for my Unusual Backbiters Billycock. He said we can do a PayPal transaction, and I went along and felt suspicious throughout the whole conversation. When it was time for us to trade, I recommended we use a middle man, and he declined. Then when I asked him to go first because I had more reputation, he declined that as well. After I went along as said I'd go first, I gave him my PayPal email and asked for him to get ready to send the funds while I got the trade window open and ready to send to him. When I said "ready", when we was suppose to send the money and I was suppose to send the item, he appeared to remember that he was apparently in a classroom during school. It was then I knew he though I'd click send and he'd be home free with my item, but I never sent it. He then said I should send the item over right then and there, and then he'd send over the money after school (Even though smart phones have PayPal application). I then called him out on his criminal attempt and then he unfriended me and blocked me.

    Please refer to our entire conversation below to read the whole story.​

    It needs to have the full window, you can scroll just leave overlap. The way you have it, it does not show if you are hiding part of the conversation.
