No, you didn't outsmart a scammer.
No, you didn't outsmart a scammer.
I already finished writing but the system updated itself and reset everything, so I’m skipping the details. He messaged about rigging a CSGO betting site using my $200 knife. After checking, he was banned but had a $3000 inventory. We talked more and he offered to send $300 via PayPal as a fake deposit, promising thousands in skins in return. I created a new PayPal account without a card and received $300 from an unknown bank. PayPal says the payment won’t appear for 24 hours. He asked me to use a PayPal account he claims belongs to his "girlfriends" because he’s banned. I told him I’d wait until tomorrow to confirm the funds are in PayPal before proceeding. He kept urging me, which made me worry about possible scams. Right now I’m unsure if he can actually reverse the transaction since I’ve heard stories of people being tricked. I’m trying to figure this out and need your help!
Avoid engaging in these digital activities with strangers or unreliable individuals.
You need to wait until the transaction appears in your account balance, as it may take up to 24 hours.
On the receipt, it states there’s no option to revoke the gift, and PayPal stands by me (Elon Musk wouldn’t go that far, right?)
OPSkins is the best method for transferring funds to PayPal *from my perspective*
