Scam Report

Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
Virtual item type involved: [Other] Other game items

Accused profile: 76561198022815547

Victim profile: 76561198027972206

What happened? Description:

Scammer's profile indicated he was selling in-game codes for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS items: DMM T-Shirt and PandaTV T-Shirt. The price was $70 and $700 respectively. I agreed to the price and offered to send half of the money via PayPal first and the other half after verifying the code. After sending the money, the scammer did not send the codes. I initiated a PayPal dispute and informed him of this, at which point he revealed that he never intended to send codes and that he was trolling me.​

Provide Evidence:

Photos of the profile, uncropped chat windows, a cropped/stitched chat window (for easy readability), and PayPal window showing open dispute are uploaded. Please redact account information on PayPal and Steam.​
