    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [Other] Other game items

    Accused profile: 76561198416405381

    Victim profile: 76561198186993361

    What happened? Description:
    Typic messaged me out of the blue even though we hadn't made any contact for at least a month, stating that I was chosen as the winner of his giveaway, and that I'd be receiving $200 into my Steam Wallet just by sending him my Steam username, which was already suspicious enough. He sent a screenshot of a fake PayPal tab, and requested that I give him my username so that I could receive "only" $200 from him. Shortly after this, I gave him the username of my other account, and shortly after, he was offline. I tried to log into my old account, but I couldn't get in. I searched this whole "sending steam wallet funds via PayPal" online, and turns out there isn't any way to directly do that, unless it was with those steam wallet codes.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Three screenshots are provided, one with the chat of me and Typic alongside his profile, a screenshot of the fake PayPal method he sent me, and the last screenshot being his different set of profile URLs from SteamID finder. The chat history has also been given in this report.​

    Sorry I'm unable to confirm identity to you and this user as in this user being the exact one you communicated with.
    You covered up vital parts to the users profile in the one screenshot - a FULL screen of the users profile while friends is helpful for this.
    No other way to verify this that I can find.
    Archiving.
