Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198132182386

Victim profile: 76561198054642670

What happened? Description:

The user added me and offered a cash payment over paypal for my Frostbite Brain Bucket. After chatting back and fourth for a little while we eventually agreed I would go first. It was incredibly late at the time, 3am or so for me, and I am also short on cash so made a few poor judgement decision in hindsight.
After the offer had been accepted, the user in question blocked me and traded back items to a friend who had helped to fake a +trust on backpack.tf and paypal transaction​

How much would you be paying?

[2:44 AM]
loser:
does 400 usd sound good?

[2:45 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
it does, a little sceptical of chargeback with that kind of value, any chance you could buy it off http://marketplace.tf if I list it there, I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure you can use paypal there

[2:46 AM]
loser:

I saw, afraid those are low value cash trades though

[2:49 AM]
loser:
the top one was quite expensive. was the taunts + unu gibus + aussie minigun. wsa around 200
was*

[2:49 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
ah okay
hmm I was actually looking to cash out on paypal soon to be honest so I think I could do that.
also my bad there, didn't think taunts and some other good would've been high value - sorry about that

[2:51 AM]
loser:
yeah its np. was the aussie minigun that helped crank up the price. dude like didnt specify

[2:56 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
aha yeah i see that now looking at trade historys

[2:58 AM]

if you want to send the trade offer on steam too that would be appreciated. Also if it's not too much of a problem I'd rather you went first.

[3:04 AM]
loser:
do u mind sending the trade offer first? just bc i got the rep?

[3:05 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
I would rather not, in all fairness I have around 4k in tf2 items. If I scammed someone it would make cashing out and trading in general increadibly difficult
if you like you can send half now, half after you receive the item

[3:08 AM]
loser:
ik but the same goes for me. im planning on doing more cash trades so i dont have the ability to do a one and done ya know?

[3:11 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
again i'll suggest half now, half afterwards if you're sceptical. paypal chargeback on things like this always favours the sender and if I don't have any proof I sent you any good it will be very difficult for me to refute it in the case I scam you

loser:
this is always the hardest part. ive had trouble in the past with paypal and this. 200 is a lot though so thats the scary part. i might just be paranoid. idk i have the rep to back it up

[3:18 AM]
p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
this is a 10 year old steam account and I have been trading on it for I think 3 years now. It would be a very stupid move for me to scam you and ruin my ability to cash out the rest of my inventory. I understand 200 is a lot but I sincerely have no intention to scam you. This is my first time doing a direct paypal transaction instead of using http://marketplace.tf so i'm equally nervous about being ripped off tbhIf it would make you more comfortable I could do 150 upfront and, 250 afterwards
I also understand I have some comments calling me a scammer on my profile, to ease your mind those are from friends I've known for a long time and I left them there instead of deleting them because I thought it was funny lmao

[3:26 AM]
loser:
i get that. i wish i could use marketplace but it seriously wont let me. but idk my account is 8 years old and ive been trading for a long time. cashed out a long time ago. idk my biggest concern is that u can like still scam me then cashout on marketplace so its like u get away scott free

i always get this message when i wanna buy ♥♥♥♥ its so dumb
but like idk if neither of us are willing to make the sacrifice to go first then we might have to call it off

loser:

like this dude
he scammed me years ago and nothing bad happened

p✿✿✿✿ b✿✿✿✿ ad infinitum:
sweet, also +trust eachother afterwards right, I know it's a given but would seriously help when it comes to cashing out the rest of my stuff lel.Can get a steamrep ban if you have evidence, need screenshots and sufficient stuff - should also be able to open a report with admins on backpack.tf. but i getcha, I was scammed when I was like 12-13 and nothing happened. Granted it was nothing compared to what I have now but it was still one of the worst feelings in the world lol
You sent loser a new trade offerView trade offer

My bad, here is a better screenshot, the link is to my paypal.me
Is there anything else I need to provide? Afraid I want to wrap this up asap and take a break from trading for a little while. It was definitely avoidable, but it happened regardless and I would like it to be over as quickly as possible.
