    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198098420292

    Victim profile: 76561198009369945

    What happened? Description:
    I had an outpost trade up for selling a burning Sergeant's Drill's unusual hat. A guy added me and offered to pay cash. I looked at his profile and every thing looked pretty good. Very detailed had lots of comments etc etc.

    Im very new to tf2 trading and so didnt really look for the signs and was really naive. I gave him my paypal email and traded him my hat first. He said he sent the paypal transfer and them removed and blocked me.

    Looks like he was impersonating this guy.​

    Provide Evidence:
    3 screenshots - chat with the scammer
    -inventory history
    -looking at their profile from inventory history​

    Hey, this guy just tried to scam me as well impersonating the same user but I caught on before any deal was finalized. Not sure if I should post chat logs since it isn't my own report, but if it would help let me know.
