KillerPenWhale Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 EDIT: HE HAS REMOVED ALL ITEMS FROM HIS INVEN, checked through his trade URL Hello I along with a lot of other people have been recently scammed by a well known person in the community named Merp. https://backpack.tf/u/76561198208062409 <------- His Profile The story is that he was offering a brokering service. Since he had a good amount of trust, and a very large backpack that I assumed he was not willing to compromise over a few thousand dollars of items he was brokering, I trusted him. Turns out I was wrong. Worst part was I was not the only victim, he stole thousands from others as well (Such as a vintage maxes head, scorching BoA, and a few other high tier hats). I myself lost around 400 keys in items, and I want to make this report so he can get banned ASAP. It starts with a misty skull fancy fedora, then I give him some smaller items (Spelled Strange Gibus, Spelled All father , and spelled Bills), and lastly my Scorching Engis cap He said that he needed some items to use as adds, so I trusted him and sent them over. https://gyazo.com/1e11c08f57cfc65a0eb4ae2dfcc5a782 https://gyazo.com/b22a9dc4488245a343559b95552e5c0c https://gyazo.com/4e4d082498f30236157973eb13665f3f I know your supposed to only link images, but I could't save them as gifs for some reason so I'll try to get better images tommorow If anything else is needed please let me know Edit: Here's the raw chat log directly from steam, start from the bottom.

.chemo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wow. Just wow. Merp was a good friend of mine and I didn't think he'd go this far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaser Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wow, he was one of my buddies since the beginning of my trading career. He helped me trade back up after i got scammed, and hell helped me with many trades. Such a shame that someone with a lot of trust and a lot of friends would go rogue. This shows how you cannot really trust anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
🔥Master Throne Crimson🔥 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Merp was one of my best friends on Steam, he was among the first people to hear my voice and the reason i got confident enough to even use a mic. Oh do i remember those all nighters me and Merp pulled in PUBG last summer, this all is just incredibly sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubZeroDestruction Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Damn, I had bought my dream unusual from him only a few months ago and... wow. Quite a shame. Thought the guy was cool and would never pull something like this. I also just checked my friends list as well too see if he was still there and.. Nope. Completely gone. I suppose it's just another person added to the pathetic human being list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat gorilla Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 lost my circling heart galvanized gibus, thought he was trustworthy. I bought a scorching flames TC from him, I thought he was my friend. Im not sad because I lost the hat, im sad that I lost a friend, im sad that other people lost much much more than me, and im sad that this can happen in our community. Sad day for not only us who where involved and lost items, but a sad day for the community as a whole. - fatty g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Diamond jozu said: report him here https://backpack.tf/trust/76561198208062409 No, this is not how you make a report. Mods will not see trusts unless they are reported. @KillerPenWhale and anyone who was scammed. Make a user report via the button on the accused's backpack profile. You will need to include, - Screenshots of your chat with this user that includes your trade agreement. - Screenshots of your trade history from the time you gave them items to broker until now, to show that nothing was repaid. - A screenshot showing that the user has blocked you. All screenshots must be uncropped and unedited. The sooner this gets done, the sooner we can get them marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

🍀Swazzy🍀 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 3 minutes ago, Sero. said: i was purchasing holy fuck im calling the police and getting lawyers involved im not fucking around here I'm pretty sure someone is close enough to him to get to know him on a personal level. Not sure if jurisdiction is a playing factor with virtual items but they do hold real world value so maybe try getting in contact with someone who knows him well and get them to provide details of their whereabouts. From there you can get their general location at least if you want police to get involved. Edit: Also not trying to judge you or anything but for a person who created an account like a month ago with 60 hours, thats a lot of money to drop on god-tiers, let alone unusuals itself. Thats like a quantum leap from baby steps, holy hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
