face Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So i had a trade listing up in outpost where i was looking for quicksell unusuals at around a bud. after i bump my trade, i get added by this guy http://steamcommunity.com/id/medwakhsmoker His profile raised all kinds of red flags, btu since some time had passed after my bumping the trade, idecided to give this guy a shot. He invites me to trade as soon as i accept his friend request. This is the chat after i refused Never tell your password to anyone. That Useless Teammate: . Sobolo #Tourney: hi Sobolo #Tourney: im selling quick sell That Useless Teammate: ah , i was suspicious if you were a bot That Useless Teammate: which one Sobolo #Tourney: acccept trade i show you That Useless Teammate: you can tell me. That Useless Teammate: your inventory is private, so.. Sobolo #Tourney: hard counter Sobolo #Tourney: W/ scorching That Useless Teammate: i'll need to check the item history and all. i cant just trade like that Sobolo #Tourney: ok i found another buyer Sobolo #Tourney: bye That Useless Teammate: fine Sobolo #Tourney is now Offline. Did i miss a very good deal? Or did i escape buying from a scammer who might've gotten the unusual through unethical means? Can someone shed some light on this? Edit: checked out his page in steamrep... has a shitton of friends who have banned friends.. this is possibly an alt of a scammer right? http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198143763999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Think of it like this: If it was a scammer(Probably was, in my opinion) you saved yourself the trouble. If it wasn't a scammer, why worry over it? How can you miss something you never had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripster99™ Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Scammer, and mind as well report him if his inventory is private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooden House Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Edit; I didn't understand the situation fully til I re-read it. It may have been a scammer. Or he could have had hijacked items. Or maybe he didn't want you to know it was duped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators OverduePixels Posted July 30, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2014 So i had a trade listing up in outpost where i was looking for quicksell unusuals at around a bud. after i bump my trade, i get added by this guy Pretty obvious that he is either one of the thousands alt of a hijacker or he is one of them scammers/alt of scammer. The person was definitely in the red flag zone my man. A legit person would not mind opening up his/her private backpack for the buyer if he/she have nothing to hide.
