Declined Report: 76561198166492015 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

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

Accused profile: 76561198166492015

Victim profile: 76561197961186188

What happened? Description:

Tried to buy Unusuals for Paypal from me, offering to overpay. After some questions he readily admitted to attempting to scam others. He also explained that he was about to use a credit card his parents gave him without them knowing what he is using it for.
Please note that I did not actually go through with anything, I just recommend giving him at least a warning so others are aware not to trade with him.
Also check the bp.tf trust for reports from other people (its why I got sceptical in the first place) http://backpack.tf/trust/76561198166492015

Hello @ZakMcRofl ,

Please provide an uncropped screenshot of your Trade History at least a few days before and after August 29th, 2015.

I don't mind sharing the trade history but I do not see what the point is. I never traded with him, I just reported what you see above. What do you expect to find in there?

Since there was no scam or scam attempt between you and the accused only the admission of the accused that he allegedly scammed or attempted to scam other users which we can't really verify if he/she is bragging about it or really done it. I will be declining this report for no evidence of any scam or scam attempt by the accused.

Declined.
