Uncharted. Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I was in an unusual trading server today and i received an offer for one of my hats. I was offered a strange festive scattergun and medigun as overpay for my hat. It was quite a lot of overpay but I was happy to accept the trade. The trade went through and everything was fine, until I tried to sell off the guns. It turns out they are just a festivised strange scattergun and strange medigun, making them worth practically nothing. I lost everything in that one trade and I don’t know what to do. Can someone give me any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrakos Anthrakir Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 learn from your mistake and move on. you may be able to give the guy a -trust for misrepresenting items, but you'd need screenshots and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Bakula Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'd say report the guy, but he's already banned from the site and has accumulated a staggering -60 trust across all his accounts, all for scamming with festivized items.

Can someone give me any advice? If you don't have an actual screenshot of the offer when it was sent, you can check Incoming/Sent Trade offers history. If you have their Steam profile still, you could use the saved trade offer there and report them. I wouldn't count on getting your items back, but watch out in the future.

Not only is this essential as it’s your responsibility to check and make sure you aren’t trading a scammer, but you also can see whether the person your dealing with can be trusted. If you actually lost your stuff to someone with -60 trust, you deserve to be scammed out of every cent you got. Good luck and feel free to ask for a third opinion if you smell anything fishy in future trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
