    What happened? Description:
    This person (called "我ြDiack" at that given time) added me. He told me he was interested in my backpack, and was willing to offer 300$ for it.
    I though it was a bit shady, though it could be possible. Because i didnt want to trade right away, i waited 1 day, to do a background check if he was trustworthy or not. He didt realy come across as that, since he didnt speak english that well, no backpack.tf trust, and hardly any trades on tf2outpost.

    I told him i was not going first in any way, since i have more rep etc. He agreed with that.

    We talked about the price a littlebit first, we discussed from 250-500$, yet i settled on 300$. I thought it was a decent price, for my entire backpack. I asked why he was so interested in the entire backpack, and why my backpack and not others, he told me he simply loved it. (i could understand that in a way, killstreak stranges for every single class and slot, nice cosmetics and 3 good looking unusuals. I have had (lower) offers for my entire backpack before)

    Even though i was still a bit scared of being scammed, i decided to do the trade. Out of the blue he changed his offer to 500$, instead of 300$. I thought it was realy weird, but i didnt complain,

    I sent him my paypal info, minutes after i got a paypal message.
    Instead of SENDING me 500$, he sent me an INVOICE of 500$. So paypal was asking me if i wanted to PAY him 500$.

    I confronted him with it, he came up with some terrible and lame excuses like, i never had this before, what are you alking about blablabla. He also change the invoice from 500$ to 0$ to make it "right", but obviously this is a pathetic attempt.

    I got screenshots of the invoice, of the second day of our conversation (im afraid i dont have the first day, but he second day pretty much summarised what day 1 was) and of the change of the invoice.

    He already changed his name to "the london city shankers" A screenshot of that proof is also provided

    I hope this was detailed enough, and i hope this will be taken care of soon.​
