    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [CSGO] Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Items

    Accused profile: 76561198142370371

    Victim profile: 76561198166629407

    What happened? Description:
    This dude added me and wanted to buy my knife for PayPal and was overly-willing to go first which I found a bit odd right from the start, but I wanted to play along with it and I didnt question it. So I give him a price and he doesnt even try to haggle me down on it, asks for my PayPal email, and a few minutes later I receive an invoice from him for $265 USD. I then tell him that Ive only received an invoice from him and he then starts calling me a scammer and says hes going to call the police (lol?) and get me banned on Steam (lol? x2). And anyway, we then proceed into an approximately 20 minute argument over how he thinks Im scamming and that the money is no longer in his account, and I know hes trying to scam me. He then threatens to call the police multiple other times and I just kinda sit there and take it because its kinda funny watching someone try so hard to scam me. He even admits in the midst of the messages that his name is James and confirms that the email that I received an invoice from was also his. This message can be found at around the time stamp 3:22.​

    Yes now follow the instructions below:
    when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in anyway!
