Accepted Report: 76561198374820457 - ([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: 76561198374820457

Victim profile: 76561198096075157

What happened? Description:

He promised me paypal money in return for TF2 keys but after I sent him the keys he blocked me and never sent the money.​

Provide Evidence:

This guy added me asking to trade my Tf2 keys. He offered PayPal money in return. I looked at his profile. His steam level was high and had positive rep comments on his profile by others of high steam level as well so I thought it should be fine.
He even showed me a few screenshots of him trading with others and having a good experience.
I sent him the keys and waited for him to send PayPal money but he didn't and blocked me.
I didn't think of checking his other profiles only until I realized that I got scammed.
I know it's my stupidity and shouldn't have trusted him but I'm writing here as a warning for others not to fall for this guy's scam.
This is his rep.tf profile:
