    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198021312578

    Victim profile: 76561199231345380

    What happened? Description:
    I was added through Steam by "TFK". "TFK" contacted me saying he was interested in buying my Karambit Tiger Tooth FN 0.002. "TFK" accepted to pay 2000 Euro for the knife through PayPal. "TFK" sent multiple images of his previous trades and his PayPal transactions to show proof he was legitimate.

    "TFK" asked for the trade offer and stated he would send the money on paypal "friends & family" after the knife was traded. The knife was traded and "TFK" stated he would be sending the money. "TFK" sent a steam message saying "I sent them go check", when paypal was checked, nothing was sent. When I returned to steam to contact "TFK", he blocked my account from communicating with him.​

    [Yesterday, 1:42 AM]
    Skeptical:
    good

    [Yesterday, 1:46 AM]
    TFK:
    I was wondering if are you looking to sell your knife

    [Yesterday, 1:52 AM]
    Skeptical:
    im pretty hesitant about selling/trading this knife. It's one of my better knifes i have gotten

    [Yesterday, 1:53 AM]
    TFK:
    I understand your worries completely . I buy items for 8 years now , I only collect items with very low floats
    Do you have a price in mind ?
    Are you hesitant because you are afraid of getting scammed ?
    You probably have been contacted by a lot of scammers so I get you. However I buy itemsFor over 8 years now.

    [Yesterday, 2:09 AM]
    Skeptical:
    No i've been selling items for a bit just this is highest $$ knife ive gotten from cases.

    [Yesterday, 2:10 AM]
    TFK:
    I see. Do you have a price that you would consider selling it?

    [Yesterday, 2:13 AM]
    Skeptical:
    2050

    [Yesterday, 2:14 AM]
    TFK:
    that's a reasonable price
    euros right?

    [Yesterday, 2:27 AM]
    Skeptical:
    yea

    [Yesterday, 2:27 AM]
    TFK:
    I am interested buying it

    [Yesterday, 2:36 AM]
    Skeptical:
    ok the knife is not tradeable till tomorrow at 0700 pm

    [Yesterday, 2:39 AM]
    TFK:
    okay what payment method do you prefer?

    [Yesterday, 3:01 AM]
    Skeptical:
    Paypal preferably or anything

    [Yesterday, 3:02 AM]
    TFK:
    I can do paypal
    do we have a deal for 2050 ?

    [Yesterday, 7:20 PM]
    Skeptical:
    Yes
    sorry fell asleep last night

    [Yesterday, 11:15 PM]
    TFK:
    hi
    no problem about last night. Are you available to do this now?

    [Yesterday, 11:17 PM]
    Skeptical:
    i should be! im a little concerned though about our payment method

    [Yesterday, 11:17 PM]
    TFK:
    are you afraid that I will run away without paying you?

    [Yesterday, 11:17 PM]
    Skeptical:
    More concerned about paypal charge back scams

    [Yesterday, 11:18 PM]
    TFK:
    well I always send the money right after I receive the item and I always pay with family/friends option which is almost impossible to refund.

    [Yesterday, 11:28 PM]
    Skeptical:
    Is there any trade websites we'd be able to use to guarantee both ends receive?

    [Yesterday, 11:28 PM]
    TFK:
    due to capital controls of my country I cannot use any third party sites, otherwise I would have bought it already
    this is why I only buy directly from other seller for the past 8 years or so. I get your worries 100% but I am not here to steal your knife and lose my account with your knife on it it's pointless. I always make sure that the seller receives the full price that we agreed on , otherwise I will be the one that loses.

    [Yesterday, 11:46 PM]
    Skeptical:
    Are we not able to do payment and trade after?

    [Yesterday, 11:47 PM]
    TFK:
    The problem is that steam tradebans only for items not money . I steal your knife I lose my account. If I lose my money neither steam or PayPal can help me. I hope that you can understand

    [12:41 AM]

    I can show you my past trades to see what I've bought
    can I show you?

    Will need any screenshots you edited - Unedited. We do not review edited screenshots.
    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History (thru a computer not mobile) showing for sure the trade in question(NOT TRADE OFFER!!)- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload. Also need a screen shot of your Paypal ACTIVITY (not Summary) for several days beginning with the date before this trade.. full screen DO NOT edit this shot in anyway. Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Review this screenshot guide to help you:

    https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/

    I may be reasking for these if you provided already but I want new ones and ones I can expand out to view vs what you provided.
    You also need to provide full screenshot of friend activity showing you as friends with this user...I can not see this as you both are set to private friends.

    Ok need a full screen of paypal settings showing the email used you gave the user to send funds to so I can verify account.
    I'll hide that photo out of public viewing once submitted.
    We don't do videos so no need for it.
