I was offered a payment of 1500 dollars in a comment on one of my screenshots for my TF2 backpack, I checked their rep and searched them online and found nothing suspicious about them. I went through with the trade, provided them with my paypal link and they said they sent the money through, but then blocked me right afterwords.​

Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:12pm EDT Okay all good!
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:10pm EDT Haha that's very true!
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:10pm EDT Thats one thing that's been consistent with steam trading after all this time
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:09pm EDT Yeah let's see lol, Steam has been really buggy and sluggish lately.
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:09pm EDT yeah that makes sense xD I confirmed it so hopefully it goes through
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:09pm EDT Will let ya know the offer went through, will probably take a few mins due to the amount of items.
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:08pm EDT Perfect, and again just make sure the level & join date match when confirming on the app.
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:07pm EDT Yes it will be!
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:07pm EDT And it'll be to Adam Crane correct?
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:07pm EDT Also, whenever you're confirming it on the Steam app on the phone just make sure that it says that I'm level 131 and a 17 year member.
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:07pm EDT And trade offer has been sent!
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:06pm EDT No problem, you just let me know what I need to do!
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:05pm EDT Let me set up the offer here
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:05pm EDT that should work
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:05pm EDT Ah gotcha, and got it!
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:05pm EDT https://paypal.me/thediabeatles?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:05pm EDT I did! I was an admin of a trade server like 10 years ago so I still remember a couple of things xD
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:04pm EDT and I assume you've gone over my rep prior to adding me? Been a member for 17 years, level 131, multiple Unus owned, awarded 170+ times, over 8000 trades made, etc.
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:03pm EDT Sure thing! I can go ahead & set up the offer. All I'd need from you is either your Paypal email or http://paypal.me link.
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:03pm EDT Paypal would be simplest for me!
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:03pm EDT And what payment method were you after?
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:03pm EDT Oh okay gotcha, that's fair!
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:02pm EDT I am! I've honestly been hesitant to sell my bp, but I literally haven't played seriously in years so seeing your offer makes me think now is the time
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:01pm EDT Oh yep! Were you interested in my offer at all?
TheDiaBeatles™ Hazelnutt Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:01pm EDT Hello! I saw your comment on the one picture
Hazelnutt TheDiaBeatles™ Apr 25, 2024 @ 4:00pm EDT Hey there
