Cosmic Relief Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 So yea, as the title suggests, I encountered my first scammer today and thankfully I was able to realize it before I accepted his trade He was using the strange Festive scatter gun trick vs. the Festivized scatter gun trick and was offering keys on time to sneakily make the deal look better. Honestly I don't know what to do with him, so I'm just going to leave his steam profile here LINK REMOVED and yes, I did file a report hopefully he gets discouraged but this doesn't seem like his first time doing it. Do what you want to him (ie message him and say how naughty he is), or just report him for me. Thanks for your time and be careful in this wild world of trading. Love, Cosmic Relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Alex Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 As if almost 300 -trusts and the special note on BP profile were not enough, now we have him on forums ... Report to Steam, block and move on. Well, maybe also spend a minute blaming Valve for making this easy scam possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vashta? Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 All Features — permanent Please stop submitting reports on this user. We know he is a scammer. He has 2 steamrep tags and 253 negative trusts. If that isn't sufficiently warning people, your report isn't going to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidoo Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I met one guy like this 2 weeks ago. He even got this scam to whole another level. Take main account, trade festive strange scatter and medi gun to scamming alt, make inv on alt private, trade them back to main and get festivized ones. On bp.tf there were actual festives visible but there was private inventory mark. I noticed it right when he offered them in trade, called him out in public chat. He left, in one minute he was back with another name. He had this simple idea to make it look more legit, but he was enough dumb to have public inv on his main. So history of the items was: main -> alt -> main. Me dumbass didnt take any screenshot, didnt think this was enough proof and so I let it be. In about 1 week I checked his profile, it was banned on bp.tf, same as his main and his another account. Btw this scumbag was on vatican trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
