    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] Other cash fraud (webmoney, bitcoin, etc)
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561199077665427

    Victim profile: 76561198250350844

    What happened? Description:
    Attempted scam from a trustworthy-seeming user. User in question is high level (40) and has 707 hours in Team Fortress 2. They have a private inventory and a non viewable friends list. User approached me about two of my unusuals, claiming to offer cash. Offer was as bit higher than the item's value, just high enough to entice, but not to arouse suspicion. I initially declined, not suspecting a scam, but I just didn't want to sell. Eventually, however, I decided I did want to sell after all. They told me to access a strange "crypto" site. I began to suspect and kept my guard up. I was firm and told them I wanted keys only. They tried to offer "cash" again but I put my foot down and told them keys or no deal. After a long pause, they said they could "get the keys tonight." They then told me to get an infobox on an item from another strange site. I quickly shut down the conversation, but not before getting the user's info. I was promptly removed by the user.​
