Scam Report

Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt

Accused profile: 76561198343326290

Victim profile: 76561198123328563

What happened? Description:

This user game forward to me after seeing my most recent scam report seeing as I was scammed $125 that night, last night. He offered to give me $150 as a donation to help recover what I lost. Instantly I was skeptical that a random guy was going to give me money for no reason. He asked for my discord and we talked it out for awhile. He said he'd send me $150 as donation to make up for lost items, and $25 for my unusual I got from the scam (its worth 12 keys). He then said he would add $50-75 after I'd given him the item. He went on to bug me overnight and into the morning that I 'need' to accept the item and he's quite sick of how I don't trust him because he has over 2500 trades and is level 100+ on steam so $150 is nothing to his bank account. I denied his trade as it seemed fishy, he sent me a trade with TF2 items as I told him that this didn't seem right. He was low-balling me again with the items and bugged to accept it until I finally had seen it. I said I didn't like the offer so he complained more, keep in mind he wasn't necessarily "nice" during all of this. He was actually rather rude, complaining about me and my friend. I was using my friend as sort of a supportive figure for me since he knew how to use paypal and I didn't. The person repeatedly asked me to block them if I thought they were a scammer, don't know why they'd want me to do that, and he complained that if he 'was a scammer' he wouldn't waste his time on a broke person like me. Today, I called Paypal support as it seemed really fishy. Paypal checked both mine and his account and told me he was a scammer and to not send out any items promised in the sale. I'm not going to receive the money and I'm sure as heck not gonna lose my items again.​

Ok so can you explain how you got scammed and all?
and how much was lost
Doms - Yesterday at 10:58 PM
So I was trading a player known as diamond miner, spelled in I wanna say leet speak
and he responded to my advert i was buying quicksells with 50 keys pure
he put in a 200 key scorching flames samur-eye ($500) and I said to him, that item is far too much for me to afford.
He said "idc i just want 50 keys i unboxed it"
so, I said to think about it and he said he will retrade me
he eventually retraded me putting in the scorching flames and all
and I said hey want me to add anything so i threw in some stranges and hats since he wanted some weapons
Doms - Yesterday at 11:00 PM
after that, he said hes fine with the offer and accepted
before I accepted on mobile, he changed the offer to an item worth 12 keys (about $25) and it was the same hat with the same name, but different effect
I offered about 50 keys in pure, ($125) and about 5-10 keys in stranges
1 key is about 2.50
Woa - Yesterday at 11:01 PM
So you lost over $150 basically?
Doms - Yesterday at 11:01 PM
yep
more than half of my tf2 backpack
Woa - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
Do you have paypal? I would hope you sell me the rest of your backpack after this btw
but i will send u a bit of $ because why not
Doms - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
I dont have paypal sorry
Woa - Yesterday at 11:02 PM
damn
Would've sent you $150
So you could just buy your stuff back
Any chance you can make a payment?
You don't need a credit card or bank so.
Paypal*
Doms - Yesterday at 11:03 PM

Doms - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
[email protected]

Woa - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
Why not, I would hope you sell me the unusual that was scammed off of you after this but if not I guess oh well
But I mean I have the extra $ laying around so.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:07 PM
i can sell u the unusual sure :stuck_out_tongue:

Woa - Yesterday at 11:08 PM
Ot
It's really no trouble haha
Doms - Yesterday at 11:08 PM
ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:09 PM
Sending in a moment
Doms - Yesterday at 11:09 PM

Woa - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
Check your paypal :smiley:
Doms - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
where do i check it?
Woa - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
Refresh the paypal page
Doms - Yesterday at 11:11 PM
ohhhh
wow thank you
so now what
it says pending
Woa - Yesterday at 11:12 PM
Nothing, just wait for the $ to go to your balance and when it does(can take a bit, comfirmed it on my side so it won't take a week lol)
Doms - Yesterday at 11:12 PM
ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:12 PM
You can use it on whatever, i'll help you when it goes to your balance if you want.
And your welcome.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:13 PM
paypal keeps asking me to link a card is that normal?
Woa - Yesterday at 11:13 PM
You can ignore that
Doms - Yesterday at 11:13 PM
i think my friend got paypal scammed once like it was a chargeback or something
ur not gonna do that r u?
Woa - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
I can't chargeback anything, I'll say it right here
I gave you this $ for FREE
I agree I can't take it back
so if I try just use that as proof
Doms - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
Ok, and can I buy your unusual?
And yea people do chargeback but I mean the literal proof is there.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
yeah after the money goes through i dont wanna risk getting scammed again
if thats ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:14 PM
hmmm
Be real, if I didn't have the $, it wouldn't have had went through. Keep in mind, that it's a $25 unusual and my steam level is worth way more than that
I also have over 2.5k trades, etc
Not going to scam you when you literally just got scammed that's pathetic
Doms - Yesterday at 11:15 PM
yeah i just dont wanna risk it
and i wont scam, u can have my steam profile/id if u want to have that ready
Woa - Yesterday at 11:16 PM
I'll pay a bit extra if you can just trust in me, If I wanted to scam I would scam for way more.
I don't even play tf2, I would just give you some guy profit lol, come on now.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:16 PM
no no, i trust you, it just seems a little fishy if you understand what i mean
Woa - Yesterday at 11:17 PM
yea ofc I understand what your saying but what else do you have to lose? It's $25, Im not heartless and im not about to scam that or take that from you, especially when I did just send you $150 for free so technicaly your not in the negative
Doms - Yesterday at 11:17 PM
idk if u sent the $150 because it still says pending, im new to paypal :stuck_out_tongue:
Woa - Yesterday at 11:18 PM
Well obviously I sent it since you see the transaction and everything, if nothing was there that would mean I didn't send anything
I'll pay you $40-$50 for the unusual if you can just trust im not hearltess.
I'll even send half right now if you want.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:18 PM
http://prntscr.com/glr0gz this is what i see right now

Woa - Yesterday at 11:18 PM
yea Im aware
Meaning I sent the payment
"Payment Recieved"
Doms - Yesterday at 11:19 PM
how is it received if its pending im so confused sorry
Woa - Yesterday at 11:19 PM
Your fine
It just means you recieved the payment and the $ will clear soon
Which it will then go to your balance.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:20 PM
so do i have the money im still lost
Woa - Yesterday at 11:20 PM
Yes you have the $, when it's done pending you'll be able to use it
Does that clear up your confusion?
Doms - Yesterday at 11:20 PM
nope lol
Woa - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
-_-
What is confusing about this lol
Doms - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
it says pending which means idk if i have the money or not
sorry im just really skeptical right now
Woa - Yesterday at 11:21 PM
Pending=You got a payment, the $ hasn't cleared yet, but the person still sent meaning it'll clear soon.
Meaning you have the $
Otherwise you wouldn't see the pending payment in the first place
I am not about to scam a $25 tf2 hat, would be downright pathetic and I wouldn't do it to someone who literally just got scammed.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:22 PM
ik it seems weird but im really skeptical, my friend says u r still able to withdraw the payment
Woa - Yesterday at 11:23 PM
I would have to speak to some indian over at paypal or my bank, and im not trying to do that especially when I have no case because literally I admitted to giving this for free
Doms - Yesterday at 11:23 PM
lol 'some indian'
thats great
Woa - Yesterday at 11:24 PM
It's the truth haha
Doms - Yesterday at 11:25 PM
i googled it
its saying goto the paypal dashboard and i gotta manually accept
idk how to do that so video time
Woa - Yesterday at 11:26 PM
You found some article from 2001
All of them are outdated, unfortunately lol
Doms - Yesterday at 11:29 PM
well i figured it out
my paypal account is less than 3 days old so it is gonna hold it for 21 days
Woa - Yesterday at 11:29 PM
No it isn't
Doms - Yesterday at 11:29 PM
i think my mom has a paypal if u want to cancel the payment if still possible
Woa - Yesterday at 11:29 PM
O u t d a t e d a r t i c l e s
I told you I comfirmed it on my side so it won't take that long
Doms - Yesterday at 11:30 PM
ok
so should i msg u when it goes through?
Woa - Yesterday at 11:31 PM
Yea ofc, can we deal for the hat now? I can send $25 now, you send the hat, then the rest of the $25, and let me know when any of those payments go through.
We can talk obviously about anything but yea lol
Doms - Yesterday at 11:32 PM
ok i guess
Woa - Yesterday at 11:33 PM
Did you get the initial $25?
Doms - Yesterday at 11:33 PM
it says the $25 is still pending
i just looked
Woa - Yesterday at 11:33 PM
I comfirmed that one as well, it won't take 21 days so just chill and of course let me know when any of them arrive
Doms - Yesterday at 11:33 PM

ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:34 PM
Yes I know, I can't take any of them back since obviously im about to get the hat so I have no case or basis
And I already said the $150 was a donation
Have said both of these things multiple times now so no chance of me being able to take anything back
Doms - Yesterday at 11:34 PM
oh btw im east coast and its 11:36 so if i mysteriously disappear, dont be alarmed i prob fell asleep in my chair again
but ill try and hold myself up
Woa - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
Just check your offers and accept and comfirm
Doms - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
?
on steam?
Woa - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
Keep in mind that if anything pops up that I've been false reported and would literally be trade banned by now if I was a scammer.
Yea
For the unusual
Doms - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
wait
Woa - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
I'll send the other $25 afterwards
Doms - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
why not just buy keys off of marketplace.tf and just send them to me?
im still skeptical about paypal
Woa - Yesterday at 11:35 PM
I would do that but marketplace.tf hasn't been working for me otherwise I would've donated and did that.
Be real, im not about t oscam you or do you dirty over virtual items for a video game
Doms - Yesterday at 11:37 PM
if u dont mind, can i wait for the money to go through before i send the hat
ik u say ur trustworthy and all, but im really skeptical
Woa - Yesterday at 11:37 PM
If you don't make me wait, as im kinda just impatient, but i'll do you $50 for the next payment
So $75 in total for the unusual.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:37 PM
my friend is on skype with me and is sorta talking me out of it, i mean, you seem like a genuine person, but im like, defenses up right now
no need to add money, you're already doing more than enough for me, im just skeptical
Woa - Yesterday at 11:38 PM
Which is why I don't have my friends tell me what to do.
Most of them don't do deals or haven't done enough or enough $ deals to form a opinion other than assuming everything is a scam
I legit wouldn't have 2.5k trades on my profile, visible for everyone to see, if i was a scammer
Doms - Yesterday at 11:38 PM
but my friend uses paypal
Woa - Yesterday at 11:38 PM
and I surely wouldn't scam $25
Your friend must never recieve bank payments or must assume that everyone out there is out to scam.
Im not hearltess though
I lose $ if I scam you anyway, put more than $25 into my steam level alone.
And then my games, etc.
Even explained any warning you may get when you click on the trade, can't help that scammers false report me.
Im not about to put this much effort into $25 when im pretty sure a $50-$500+ unusual would be a bit more bang for the time.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:40 PM
good point, but i just dont wanna risk it
Woa - Yesterday at 11:40 PM
$75, $100 in total for the unusual, come on man
When you see I won't run off with your $25 unusual i'll even buy off of your friend, I don't scam people.
$25 isn't worth this much time and effort
For a game I don't even play, I just know I can trade for it because steam allows cross trading or whatever without owning the game you are trading for.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:41 PM
if u dont mind me asking, if u have over 2500 trades why is ur backpack near empty
Woa - Yesterday at 11:41 PM
I keep most of my $ outside of steam, and cash out and such.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:41 PM
im not saying it to be rude or anything, just genuinely anxious
Woa - Yesterday at 11:41 PM
Your good, have been asked that before.
Had over 1000 items but coupons go away and I sold my random steam stuff from levleing up as well so.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:43 PM
oh
Woa - Yesterday at 11:43 PM
Yea, from leveling up
Not 1k items by themselves, would be stupid and tedious lol
Not to mention pretty sure 2 people reporting me for the same stuff at the same time wouldn't be smart on my side, since you just told me a friend knows about our deal(s).
Doms - Yesterday at 11:46 PM
yeah im screensharing on skype for him
he knows more than i do about paypal
Woa - Yesterday at 11:47 PM
oh
Tell your friend if he is reading this that Im not about to scam $25, off of a guy who just got scammed, on a game I don't play, and then put in this much effort, for more than one person to watch and witness this, not trying to get trade banned over $25
Doms - Yesterday at 11:48 PM
he knows, he just seems fishy
Woa - Yesterday at 11:49 PM
One can argue that all deals on the internet seem fishy but $25 just to scam it isn't worth the effort, I don't want to do harm to others.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:49 PM
do you think maybe its still pending because i dont have a card
Woa - Yesterday at 11:50 PM
Doesn't affect anything, not in regards to recieving payments, can take a max of 3-5 days since I comfirmed it on my side
Don't add a card to the paypal just incase something is wrong but I doubt it's anything on your side.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:50 PM
ok
Woa - Yesterday at 11:53 PM
You still there or is your friend somehow still thinking people now run $25 scams that make them lose $ in 2017?
Doms - Yesterday at 11:53 PM
yeah im here
sorta just waiting
Woa - Yesterday at 11:53 PM
I mean no offense but the time I spent on you, if I was a scammer, I could be on people with way more expensive inventories.
Doms - Yesterday at 11:53 PM
yeah

http://prntscr.com/gm1smf Forgot to add this, but this is the current status of my paypal showing the payments never went through
