FuriousScoot Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 So I've never traded before outside of in game trade windows and this person here https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561199070908636 is looking to trade for one of my unusuals. What's the best way of trading with payment outside of Steam or should I even go forward with this person considering the -1 on their profile?

lucco51 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 well the fact that the -rep is around a middle man scam - what more do you need to know? If I were you - walk away. TheTexanTiger, Crog, Xaeriel and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alecto Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 For the sake of internet safety unless you've advertised that you're looking for cash trades on your item, don't take people up if they try to do a cash trade with you (except mayyyybe if they're well known and have tons of trust). Ask them to buy keys and pay for it that way. Way too easy to get scammed. The indicators are on this guy's bp profile, scammer.

For the most part, anyone who is willing to pay in cash would be willing to buy keys if they really wanted whatever you were selling. If they're not then it's not worth taking a chance.

Alternate account, the link leads to the original account of the alt. Usually scammers have chains of alts. robuxxx22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
