    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [Steam] Other Community Items

    Accused profile: 76561198126368963

    Victim profile: 76561198059566837

    What happened? Description:
    My "friend" started the chat and he stated he was giving away his steam wallet funds via PayPal.

    I accepted as I personally thought he was going to send the money via email but that wasn't case. He asked for my steam account name in order to send money but when I realized he was going to send the money directly from his steam account wallet funds, I knew something was not right and stopped the trade.

    My guess his is was trying to gain access to my steam account with just my username but not sure, I do know for certain is was a scam/fraud.​

    Provide Evidence:
    I have uploaded 3 screenshots containing useful information for this scam/fraud attempt.
    If you need anymore information, please dont hesitate to ask provided I can get said information.​

    IZk: hello
    crypt_: hi
    IZk: how are you?
    crypt_: not bad, you
    IZk: im well, I was just having donating right now and I picked you to have my Gift. I decided to give you steam wallet funds but it is only $200. I will use my PAYPAL account as a payment or other wise to send the load to you. So what do you think?
    crypt_: thanks for the offer
    crypt_: I will gladly accept
    IZk: here's the screenshot as proof that im not doing fraud here https://snag.gy/nGr5bF.jpg
    crypt_: so how will perform this task?
    IZk: this is only a screenshot
    here's the process of sending the gift to your account, it needed your steam log in username so that it can be easily recognize by sending the gift>https://snag.gy/uetkYH.jpg<
    crypt_: I do apologise but I only accept payments that require email addresses
    IZk is now Online.
