    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561199106143680

    Victim profile: 76561198034840259

    What happened? Description:
    A stranger named sent me a friend request and messaged me saying he was interested in buying one of my items. He offered me 90 dollars for a Strange Specialized Frying Pan. He proposed a middleman named "Morph" (info block below) who seemed authentic and acted exactly like a real middleman. I sent the item to Morph, he sent me back some random item and I waited for the transaction. said he had problems sending 90 dollars and that it seemed like he couldn't send less than 150 dollars so he asked me to add other valuable items. I agreed to give him a Strange Festive Buff Banner and a Strange Jag, sending both to Morph, and he sent me back a Strange Reserve Shooter for reasons I didn't understand. Once I gave the middleman my items pretended that he sent me the money and when I told them that I didn't received anything they both blocked me. After few seconds I saw all three items I gave to Morph inside ' inventory, and after some minutes they disappeared.

    Morph, the user pretending to be a middleman info block:

    Please provide a full screen shot of your Trade Inventory History showing for sure the trade in question(NOT 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. Also need a screen shot of your Paypal ACTIVITY (not Summary) for several days beginning with the date before this trade..full screen DO NOT edit this shot in anyway. Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    Also please review this screenshot guide should you require assistance:

    I am not sure what is the difference of this other Trade History, but I hope it's the right one.
    Also, I don't know what other PayPal Activity is needed. This is the only other activity history I can find on PayPal site.
    It's much different from the one shown in the "Report Submission Fundamentals" guide.

    ehh no the first one you gave for paypal activity was fine just do a new one.
    The other you need to open in a WEB BROWSER - follow directions to show the URL to that user at the bottom like a hypertext mouse over effect.
    Also going to need a paypal settings full screenshot showing your information where the email address is noted. I will hide this one from public view once posted.
    Do not edit it in anyway.

    Thanks - issue is I can't confirm you were ever friends with this exact user by SteamID - all I see is a chat box with a name and profile image. Need to verify this and you can do that with a screenshot of your friend/user activity thru a web browser - when you take this and it shows you adding the user hover your mouse pointer over the users name so it shows the popup of the profile. Make sure you open this in a web browser before doing anything rather than steam client. Take the screenshot and make sure it's Full Screen and make sure steam client URL is enabled, not edited or cropped in any way! Upload HERE…NOT imgur, NOT gyazo or any other 3rd party hosting site!

    I see a lot of valuable items getting in and out their inventories, probably coming from other scams, but they still result clean. I'll do everything I can to successfully report these users.
