    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198365502319

    Victim profile: 76561198301149330

    What happened? Description:
    Someone seperate added me, and asked if I had used OP skins, They said that they were interested in buying my unusual with actual money. I said sure, and he asked for my trade url. I sent him my trade url, and an OP skins bot sent me a trade offer. I checked the bot profile, and they weren't steam rep banned, but they had a private profile. I checked their steamrep profile and found their previous name. When I questioned why the previous name for the bot was "whiteflare63" he blatantly lied. He then proceeded to tell me to press ctrl+w so i couldn't get chat log.​

    Provide Evidence:

    @Nairix You don't report the bot...you report the user you were first talking to then reference the bot's involvement.
    So lets figure some stuff out - who is the other user? FULL SR profile block please.
    Also did you trade with the fake bot or no?

    Ok so this user is already tagged/banned - no idea why you were dealing with them had you seen that i'm sure since you know of steamrep.
    If you didn't you need to check users out better - then you would have seen they were banned - then you should have just reported them to Valve, deleted and moved on rather than get deeper involved. This kinda scam is wide spread - we will never get them all and nothing more we can do to this user.
    Please provide a full screen shot of that trade offer- open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload.

    I wanted to try to get the OPSkins account banned since it hasn't been banned yet, sorry about everything. The person changed back to their original username...
