cheeze Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 - Hello! if you are reading this I need help, everything happened when this user: (https://backpack.tf/u/76561198197739413) came to my account and put in my comment box that if we could talk about business. - I had an unusual aztec warrior with the blizzady storm effect that is worth 250 keys or less or more (I'm not an unusual selling expert) so the first one offered me 25 keys for the hat. I told him no, that 25 keys was very little and he said he would pay me in overpay and he offered me a Punk's pomp and he told me that it was worth 325 keys with the unusual effect: Terror-Watt and he sent me a backpack.tf link where It said that it was worth 325 keys (I did not know that the price was manipulated) please help me. - The unusual that he gave me I gave it to a trusted friend to take care of him (https://steamcommunity.com/id/2Dbetterthan3D/) <---- this is my friend -This is not the first time this user does this kind of thing. If you see his trust post you can see the list of people who have been sharked by this user. Also he has a ban in outpost for sharking people https://backpack.tf/trust/76561198197739413 - He has admitted his actions to the people unawareness of backpack.tf, therefore unable to price the unusual himself https://imgur.com/a/3nIK8fJ - Here I attach the links my chat with this user: http://imgur.com/BIrk8Z2 http://imgur.com/6AFE1t2 http://imgur.com/JpBH6J7 http://imgur.com/hWBEHql http://imgur.com/7wpQ5Kl http://imgur.com/8SPqlHi http://imgur.com/ThobCDX http://imgur.com/FDmRGxc http://imgur.com/SAKiPsi http://imgur.com/SY0xKDR http://imgur.com/LzFQpoU http://imgur.com/tAury9o http://imgur.com/D6vaCdK http://imgur.com/nYr1cwh http://imgur.com/XPDRP7e http://imgur.com/nHeN8Cn http://imgur.com/L8qSEdz http://imgur.com/gu7AOPo http://imgur.com/sKB8qC1 http://imgur.com/wBAj2xU http://imgur.com/pVpUf2t http://imgur.com/xBGlLH2 http://imgur.com/sTP6Tw6 http://imgur.com/0LYrIYu http://imgur.com/tzBev83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mengh. Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 1 hour ago, cheeze said: -snip- If you do believe that you were sharked / manipulated, you should report the user by going onto their Backpack.tf profile and then pressing the red flag next to their profile picture. You can then copy and paste all of this into that text box as to make a report against the user. One thing you should do before you submit is to retake all of your conversation with the accused sharker, making sure that you do not crop the screenshots.

humann Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yep you were sharked, all the trades that users like him have done are unbalanced trades with noob users. This time is really clear the manypulation, but in most of the cases is not clear and they can shark without any problem. I hope he get a ban, but I doubt about it. The -trust that users like him got is completely pointless because most of the times the users don't know about the site or about the economy itself.

D.Alex Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Just curious, how come you've found that user's trust page now, but not before trading away "250 keys" item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically showcases the giant flaw in bp.tf's stance in dealing with sharkers *ahem*... "people who do incredibly uneven trades", putting a negative trust does nothing towards lessening the chances of them doing it again as they let them continue purchasing premium which allows them to target the people that are most likely to fall for this sort of thing.

humann Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Lets analyse : Sharking pros: You can went from nothing to +4000 USD in around 2 months without effort(demo) or a ton more if you're more smarter than the current sharkers(who slry aren't) Sharking cons: Pointless -1 trust on your bp.tf profile. (If you're doing it without any pinch of intelligence you can maybe get a ban? odds are 0.0000001%, I don't have any example of someone getting a ban for sharking) MmMMmMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeROY Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I get the amount of reports and evidence is too much to deal with, but there are sharks/trades that are well documented through price suggestions alone that easy deserves a Ban or at least get Premium cancelled And IMO its time we move away from: Not calling it Scam as long as you give 1 Ref/Key/Craft hat/Something But hey, at least we have the major "accidental gifting" problem dealt with....
