polar Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 EDIT: Australian not Australium. Woops. I honestly haven't been following all these scams. I've heard about a whole variety of trade offer scams and I've been skeptical and assumed the problem is with the person accepting the trade offer. But I just lost a strange pan myself. http://i.imgur.com/D9zJur7.png Here is me accepting a gold fj for a strange pan - yeah, too good to be true. And when I was accepting the trade, I also got a message that he scammed others, so I thought something might be going on. Anyways, I figured it was only a strange pan, so I didn't really check too carefully, but I did take screenies shown here. Sure enough, I never got a gold fj. I got a regular one http://i.imgur.com/bcwai3s.png Be wary of trade offers. I've heard a lot of fishy things going on with them. I've had someone add me showing a trade offer he accepted where he gave 2 buds worth of the stuff whereas the other person gave nothing. He obviously declined but somehow the trade offer was accepted. He showed me screenies that it happened and sent a report to steam support. If it can glitch on regular items, I'm sure it can glitch on higher tier stuff - unusual qualities, effects, etc. I'll have to screen all trade offers now.

Pyroman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I wish I could be rich enough to dismiss a half-bud loss as if it was nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therapist Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Australiums are now Gold when in trade. Australian means that the strange has achieved a certain number of kills and changed adjectives, like Mildly-Menacing, Unremarkable etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
