Scam Report

Report Type: [Money] PayPal scam or scam attempt

Victim profile: 76561198080172780

What happened? Description:

I had sent a trade to [⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks (the actual one) about an item that I wanted. I attempted to add them on steam since the trade was taking a few days, but decided against it and removed the friend invitation on steam. Not long after (maybe an hour) I got a friend invite from the accused, posing as [⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks. I accepted thinking he might want to ask me why I added him originally, and after explaining it to him, he immediately went to asking me about my most expensive unusuals and offering cash amounts for them (I am not particularly comfortable with cash transactions, so I was reluctant). I noticed after awhile that he was offering at my exact buyout for items (which I considered strange, most good traders attempt to go less, especially for unusuals they are unsure about. Mine was fairly new), so I looked up his profile and noticed it was a level 10 profile instead of [⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks's profile level of 465, plus it looked nothing like the original. He also attempted to show "proof" that he's trusted, showing me the original Wayne's backpack.tf reputation score. After I pointed this out to him, he immediately unadded me and didn't respond past that point.​

[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
Yes?

[2:36 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
ah, sorry for bothering. I sent a trade like 2 days ago lmao

[2:36 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
I don't have much stock in keys, if you're selling I can do cash

[2:37 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
I was actually buying from you, a chameleon

[2:37 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
no problem, i got a lot of trade offers, what was in the trade if you dont mind?

[2:37 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
#3 chameleon for 22 keys I believe

[2:37 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
ah I see

[2:39 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
also figured since I got you here, you also got a spelled chameleon with sinister staining. Is that price of 35 keys pure firm?

[2:39 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
from what i remember yes
but those are up for reserved thats maybe why i didnt accept

[2:40 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
ah I see, Chromatic/Spectral ones are going for 13ish, so was wondering if that was just an outdated price or not

[2:41 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
would you take cash offers for both acidic climate and hairpiece listing? was wondering

[2:41 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
not particularly, I'd prefer keys tbh

[2:43 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
cant really do keys atm because of how low the rate is people dont wanna sell their keys like before and paying with cash is a lot easier for me

[2:43 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
ah, its just I don't know values to cash, so I'm not sure what would be considered a good deal or not, plus I don't use paypal or anything

[2:44 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
we multiply marketplace key value like manncostore or mptf

[2:45 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
ah, well I suppose I could think on it, got an offer by chance?

[2:45 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
Manncostore price
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....656/6EF5E507A445938D202F9B89634E92D0E8709313/

920k for hairpiece
350 for acidic
350k

[2:47 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
hmmm, I'd prob end up passing then. I'm pretty content keeping them and only selling if someone offers near by B/O
kinda my endgame stuff, ya know

[2:47 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
ah, well I can do the price if we can meet at 1200 for hairpiece
though I'm not sure for acidic since it's new hat

[2:49 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
1200 as in keys, or as in cash

[2:49 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
keys to cash, like i said we multiply that offer in 1.65
so like it's $1.65 per key

[2:50 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
hmmm I'd prob think on it, passing for now, like I said, it is my endgame hat

[2:51 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
completely up to you

[2:51 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
I can say that acidic and its counterparts are doing well if not overpriced IMO, kinda fluxes. Also did that trade happen to go through, for the chameleon?

[2:51 AM]
[⇄]Wayne Buying Backpacks:
whats your B/O for it then

[2:54 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
about 1250-1300ish, but like I said, I don't even know if I'd take it in cash, I just feel more comfortable with keys

I get you, the thing is I wouldn't be here if I scam people
and with the low rate in keys, it's not that easy anymore to get someone to sell their 1300 keys for 1.65 unlike many months ago
or we could try the acidic first with lower value

[2:59 AM]
PuurpleCake.ttv:
ah, now I get it
