Victim profile: 76561198157989662

What happened? Description:

Asked to buy my knife, originally was skeptical, never noticed obvious scam signs, i was dumb, but I did it. He sent test payment through paypal, and once trade offer was sent ghosted me.​

Provide Evidence:

Steam chat screenshot shows paypal scam, when test payment was sent I recieved 0.01 from View attachment 744976

so I figured whatever, this seems legit enough. Right clicked on him in the steam chat and sent him a trade. He said recieved, sending payment and then removed me.

✪ INTENSE > Restocking:
i mean my inventory is 3k man, would be pointless for me to scam you for 120$ knife
and to lose reputation like that
much profitable if you +rep me after the deal and ill retrade your knife for me
and ill retrade your knife in the future and make profit as well*
do you want me to send you a test payment ?

[10:41 AM]
Tappy:
sure

[10:42 AM]
✪ INTENSE > Restocking:
sent
and after the deal dont forget to +rep me (leave a detailed comment) and join my trading group if you want

[10:43 AM]
Tappy:
ok
one sec
You sent ✪ INTENSE > Restocking a new trade offerView trade offer

[10:45 AM]
✪ INTENSE > Restocking:
received, going to send money

That was literally the last of the chat, also he blocked me, so I can't view the old messages.

Okay, will keep that in mind.

I clearly sent him 120$. He said if you dont want to risk with your reputation, you have to give me knife and money, lol. Wtf, this is crazy, will I get banned for this ???

Because his screenshots are crop and ending on the part where I tell him that im going to send money.

Checked to make sure, this is the current paypal statement.

I understood... Steamrep is a dead platform, it cant say anything about your reputation in my eyes anymore
