Aerozo Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 http://backpack.tf/u/76561197997273617 That user is selling an unusual stormy storm flamenco, that exact item was stolen from me a few days ago. I was told to post the screenshots here by a backpack.tf admin. My account was hijacked, and they stole a stormy storm flamenco, vintage luger, and festive medi from me. This was the account that actually took the items http://steamcommunity.com/id/karafei83 I sent in a support ticket, even though I know they are very slow, and might not do anything about it.
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Is it being sold by the hijacker himself? Or is it being sold by someone who was unlucky enough to have bought off the hijacker?
Chief D Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Please link to the phisher's account. Also, I suggest you follow this guide if you haven't already: http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/1206-guide-to-recovering-hijacked-items/
MuffinsDad Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 That douchebag Pancakes guy added me and tried to Phish me a while ago.
Aerozo Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Is it being sold by the hijacker himself? Or is it being sold by someone who was unlucky enough to have bought off the hijacker? I think it's being sold by someone who just bought it from the phisher.

A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I got hijacked and got my items back a week later. Steam apologized for taking a while.
Chief D Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 The user changed his profile link. Please try and get the new one form your trade history.
puddingkip Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 did you seriously fall for that phishing link? It's not even a good one... What's next? "Zdaemkuhmjoenehteh/haijecker wandz 2 send u diez fail le-scam.exe and dies pfotho scamnubzgetrich.zip"
Aerozo Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 did you seriously fall for that phishing link? It's not even a good one... What's next? "Zdaemkuhmjoenehteh/haijecker wandz 2 send u diez fail le-scam.exe and dies pfotho scamnubzgetrich.zip" Saying this will only make me sound more stupid. Someone tried to Phish me a few days before that happened, and I didn't fall for it. This time though, I was arguing with some people at the same time, I wasn't really paying attention when I fell for the link and such.
hippyscum Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Hi there, I got told to make an appeal here. I bought this item on Steam Marketplace on 4th February and, although I'm sorry you lost your hat, there's no way I could have known. It was cheap and I assumed it was either a mistake or that it was being sold cheap in preparation for the Strongbox key release which was likely approaching this weekend (like the reduced value of keys on Steam Market lately). I bought it quickly and if I hadn't someone else would have and they'd be making this appeal. Here's my market history: http://imgur.com/bk6MKDl It was sold from this guy's account [ http://steamcommunity.com/id/karafei83 ] and looking at the comments it looks like he has phished a lot of people so I imagine it's only a matter of time before Valve bans him outright. I get several phishing attempts a day which is why I don't even accept adds if the account has nothing in it. Although I do accept one every now and then to hurl abuse at them when I'm feeling aggravated. On a serious note, anyone who knows me knows that I despise scammers, and phishers in particular, for reasons that are obvious considering what I'm accused of, and I routinely delight in trolling the hell out of them. I would like my backpack.tf account unbanned as I feel I have been more than forthcoming with the information I've provided.

And 19 quid for a flamenco is nearly too good to be true.
hippyscum Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I wasn't told on the little note on my bp.tf profile where I was meant to appeal so I came to the allegation page, I figured it'd make sense to appeal at the source. As for it being a good deal; I know, that's why I bought it. I already said I assumed it was a quicksell in preparation for new keys. I quicksell items semi-regularly to buy games that I want and which I did quite a lot during the Xmas sale.
polar Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Hi there, I got told to make an appeal here. Unbanned. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the info. The appropriate user has now been banned. Locking this thread up.
