    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198202844518

    Victim profile: 76561198038816671

    What happened? Description:
    He added me trying to buy my Strange Burning Flames Polar Bear via paypal. He asked me first how much I wanted I said 80 keys and then he replied with $250 (obviously not 80 keys). I said, $160. So then I gave him my paypal email. Then he said that he had sent the money and I received this very poorly disguised paypal email (it says the sender is: paypal paypal), knew instantly that okay this is a scam attempt. So then when I confronted him about the email being fake and he deletes me.​

    Provide Evidence:
    There's screenshots of the chat window and the email I received after he said he had "sent the money". This guy has a clean rep everywhere and is already probably trying to scam someone else.​

    @Ebinski I asked for paypal activity not summary - then you wouldn't have had to edit the screenshot and make it invalid cause we don't allow use of edited screenshots.
