    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199648793183

    Victim profile: 76561198115764936

    What happened? Description:
    I have an Unusual Taunt: Texas Truckin on the steam market up for $12 AUD.

    The scammer noticed my item on the market which they targeted.

    The Scammer added me as a steam friend, which I accepted.

    I sent messages first asking who they were, we had no friends in common nor knew one another.

    They asked if I was still interested in selling my Unusual Taunt: Texas Truckin. Which I told them to buy it on the market if they wanted it.

    Then they asked to purchase it directly from me to avoid the 7 day Tradehold.

    I questioned why they would want to avoid the Tradehold and they responded they are a reseller and didn't want to wait.

    I suggested Tf2 keys as an acceptable payment method, which they ignored and asked if I accepted Paypal/Bank/Crypto etc. (This is an item worth ~3-4 Keys)

    I then asked how long they had been a reseller for. They took a minute to respond saying almost a year. Their Tf2 mercenary badges dates Tuesday, April 2, 2024 with their inventory being worth only a few ref.

    When I called them out for being a scammer they responded with "Bro, F*ck you"

    The Scammer then unfriended me.

    I unfortunately don't have any evidence regarding "Proof of broken agreement or scam attempt" but hope this will be enough. I didn't want to provide this person with my Email address connected to my PayPal.

    I started recording during the event which I can provide if requested.​

    Sorry you provided no acceptable evidence of any scam here, no chat/agreement noted thru steam chat screenshots as required.
    You even knew you didn't have the required evidence and still submitted anyway which is highly unacceptable!!
    Lastly you clearly created the report based on the assumption they would scam you and we don't take reports based on assumptions - you have no idea if that is an issue they had which is common and wished to do the trade a certain way - best thing to do is just walk away say no thank you and find someone else to trade with.
    Cursing you when you say they were doing something bad isn't a reportable issue here or anywhere either.
    You were noted the below link prior to clicking the submit a report button but must have over looked it - please do not do so in the future.
    Please do not submit reports here without proper evidence.
