    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198097846861

    Victim profile: 76561198087607344

    What happened? Description:
    Tried to send me $150 in PayPal money as a "friendly gesture" to those on his Friends list. Immediately declined him knowing it was a money-scam, to which he immediately threatened to reset my password and gain access to my Steam account, likely to steal valuable TF2 items that I own.​

    Provide Evidence:
    1) The conversation starts out friendly explaining why he added me from yesterday, to which he then states his reason for adding me: send me PayPal money as his way of "helping" people on his Friends list. I'm immediately suspicious of what he's actually doing and I politely decline.

    2) He seems to "understand" why I declined (since I already caught on to his act from before) to which he then threatens me via resetting my account password

    3) Further attempts at getting me to comply with him shortly before I blocked him.

    His bp.tf trust review prior to my negotiations with him further reinforce that he is a PayPal / money scammer, except it was with with Unipay in Atomatrix's case.
