Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 This guy https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198264117106 scammed my Kill-a-Watt Cosa Nostra Cap. He did some verification scam to me, if you need more proof, please respond. : Proof https://imgur.com/a/RcjNF8n Please, if you can get my unusual back, or what I was trying to sell it for as 15 keys.

Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I know that I am an idiot, but what he was saying makes sense. Why would he risk his whole backpack just to scam someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I would also guess that maybe most of his hats are scammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarool Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Note that the account of the guy you linked doesn't match with the account of the guy you were talking to. You even mentioned in the chat with the guy that they were trade banned. The account you linked is not. You should not be inciting witch hunts on the forums, especially if you're gonna link the wrong guy. https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog Click on the profile of the guy you were talking to, take uncropped screenshots your entire conversation with them, hover over their name so their steam URL pops up on the bottom left corner of the browser in at least one screenshot, and if they aren't already site-banned, report them on the site by clicking the red flag under their name. Your aren't going to get your item back. You'll have to cut your losses and move on. At the very least, you can learn some things from this experience, such as not accepting friend requests from trade-banned users, or how this particular type of scam works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Okay thanks. The guy that was talking to me was 76561198264117106 And the account that actually got the item was https://steamcommunity.com/id/BITSKINSBOT8059 this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 I am guessing the accounts are made by the same people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 You've fallen for one of the most common scams, where an impersonator convinces you to deposit an item to a fake bot. The item is gone at this point and there is no way to recover it. You can report the accounts involved, but that's it. 27 minutes ago, Duke Pyron said: The guy that was talking to me was 76561198264117106 No, that is the account he is impersonating. Never trust a reputation link someone gives you; you need to look it up yourself. For example, this is the real Monster Pandaz's steam page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MonsterPandaz/ Compare that to the last image in that imgur gallery and see all the differences.

Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Yeah it sucks, I am currently trying to get the guy reported and cope with my $30 loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one you have linked in your original post is completely innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Pyron Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Maybe so but when I copy the page link it brings me to the same profile https://steamcommunity.com/id/MonsterrPandaz/ Wait nevermind This means I dont think I can report him since his inventory is private Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 See that extra r in the id name? Impersonator. There's also quite a few other differences between the two pages like the steam level, the showcases, the bio, the inventories, the steam groups, the badges, and friend lists. This is the guy that scammed you: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198199844147 https://rep.tf/76561198199844147 Unfortunately, he is already well marked as a scammer, so there is really nothing you can do beyond learning from this and moving on.

I'd suggest searching the word "scam" on these forums, give the many threads where people report being scammed a read (i.e. arm yourself with knowledge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
