NarkoMyaso Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Ive got scammed through backpack.tf automatic bug. I've lost 160 keys. Scammer sent me an offers with strange scatters, but automatic perceived them as australium scatters. http://imgur.com/a/53i9F Automatic log: Asked: 21 keys 24 ref (Mann Co.

apollothelion Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Admins already stated that automatic is not being supported or managed anymore. As Apo said, it clearly states Strange scattergun. Any and all isues are not BPTFs responsibility. Teeny Tiny Cat and Flaim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolf Storms Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 welp. using an automated system was a choice. there are consequences to every choice. trades were authenticated, so it's no one's responsibility but yours imo a scam is when someone intentionally is deceptive in order to profit from it. if automatic said his items were worth that amount who was he to say different for sure it may have been exploited. but that's exploiting a glitch not scamming. easy with the name calling lol this has nothing to do with me, but I find it quite humorous when technology meant to make life easy ends up screwing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaim Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 And this is why I decided not to install automatic. Just cant trust stuff like that when working with large numbers. Sorry about the loss dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Change Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 As someone who is working on coding their own bot, I find it extremely questionable that this was automatic's fault. This is a sample of how node-steam-manager returns items: EconItem { appid: 440, contextid: '2', assetid: '4147791711', classid: '1336120004', instanceid: '2472193405', amount: 1, missing: false, icon_url: 'fWFc82js0fmoRAP-qOIPu5THSWqfSmTELLqcUywGkijVjZULUrsm1j-9xgEIUwYcXxrxqzlHh9rZCv2ADN8Mmsgy4N4F2zNvyVAobOXnZ2BldgWSBfhbWaI5o1vtUCJr7pE3BITnpOtVKlnnqsKYZJecC625', icon_url_large: 'fWFc82js0fmoRAP-qOIPu5THSWqfSmTELLqcUywGkijVjZULUrsm1j-9xgEIUwYcXxrxqzlHh9rZCv2ADN8Mmsgy4N4F2zNvyVAobOXnZ2BldgWSBfhbWaI5o1vtUCJr7pE3BITnpOtVKlnnqsKYZJecC625', icon_drag_url: '', name: 'Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Ambassador', market_hash_name: 'Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Ambassador', market_name: 'Strange Professional Killstreak Australium Ambassador', name_color: 'CF6A32', background_color: '3C352E', type: 'Strange Revolver - Kills: 1978', tradable: true, marketable: true, commodity: false, market_tradable_restriction: 7, market_marketable_restriction: 0, fraudwarnings: [], descriptions: [ { type: 'text', value: 'Crits on headshot', color: '7ea9d1', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: 'Killstreaker: Fire Horns', color: '7ea9d1', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: 'Sheen: Agonizing Emerald', color: '7ea9d1', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: 'Killstreaks Active', color: '7ea9d1', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: '-15% damage penalty', color: 'd83636', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: '20% slower firing speed', color: 'd83636', app_data: '' }, { type: 'text', value: 'No random critical hits', color: 'd83636', app_data: '' } ], actions: [ { name: 'Item Wiki Page...', link: 'http://wiki.teamfortress.com/scripts/itemredirect.php?id=61&lang=en_US' } ], tags: [ { internal_name: 'strange', name: 'Strange', category: 'Quality', color: 'CF6A32', category_name: 'Quality', localized_tag_name: 'Strange', localized_category_name: 'Quality' }, { internal_name: 'secondary', name: 'Secondary weapon', category: 'Type', category_name: 'Type', localized_tag_name: 'Secondary weapon', color: '', localized_category_name: 'Type' }, { internal_name: 'Spy', name: 'Spy', category: 'Class', category_name: 'Class', localized_tag_name: 'Spy', color: '', localized_category_name: 'Class' } ], app_data: { def_index: '61', quality: '11', slot: 'Secondary weapon', containing_bundles: { '0': '2154' }, filter_data: { '931505789': { element_ids: { '0': '991457757', '1': '1' } }, '1662615936': { element_ids: { '0': '991457757', '1': '8' } } }, player_class_ids: { '0': '8' }, highlight_color: '7a6e65' }, id: '4147791711', owner_descriptions: [], owner_actions: [], market_actions: [] } app_data is irrelevant to computing whether or not an item is australium: you actually cannot determine if an item is australium from app_data. Either you are running an old version of automatic, or this should happen to everyone running automatic. App_data simply does not matter for determining if an item is australium. I don't like being accusatory, but this does not seem to be automatic's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePickleCat Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 This is why I don't use my identity secret on automatic, I would much rather miss a trade here or there than have this happen... Extremely sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like being accusatory, but this does not seem to be automatic's fault. backpack.tf automatic needs the app_data to distinguish a strange item from a strange australium item, because in the tf2 item schema there is no quality for australium. the appdata can tell if an item is australium or not. that is why automatic is reloading the offer if the app_data is missing. if an items app_data contains a defindex: 2027 , the item is australium.

The easiest way to determine if it is australium is just to use the market_hash_name, there is no particular reason not to use it and it is reliable unlike app_data. Not sure what you meant by defindex, because defindex and the matches to the item schema are literally the same thing. Looking at the example I gave earlier: app_data: { def_index: '61', quality: '11', slot: 'Secondary weapon', containing_bundles: { '0': '2154' }, filter_data: { '931505789': { element_ids: { '0': '991457757', '1': '1' } }, '1662615936': { element_ids: { '0': '991457757', '1': '8' } } }, player_class_ids: { '0': '8' }, highlight_color: '7a6e65' }, This was an australium pro ks ambassador. 61 is the defindex of any ambassadors. '2027' does not occur anywhere in the app_data. Unless there is some way to determine if an item is australium from filter_data or containing_bundles, I'm pretty sure app_data does not matter for it.

Febby Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Happened to me too! http://imgur.com/a/umiHZ Fortunately i didn't accepted those trades on my mobile! @NarkoMyaso It's a shame, hope those scammers will not find a method to even bypass the mobile confirmation (unless u have a bot right?), can they?

Correct, if you don't setup automatic confirmations then you should be ok because without your identity_secret it can't accept confirmations.
