Huntter1223 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Hello Everyone. Sorry if this isnt the right place. But I need to make sure people know not to trade with "Ronny" ([link redacted]). I am not an experienced trader so lets get the laughs out of the way when I say what happened. I traded my unusual hat for what he said was a "strange festive rocket launcher". But I had not noticed it was indeed a Festivised strange launcher. He dodged my messages after. Make sure you dont trade with this guy.

Heidecker Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Sorry to hear. That's a very common scam method that has been around for a while. If you got screenshots make sure to report them on backpack and obviously steam as well. TheTexanTiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FP jh34ghu43gu Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Please don't witchhunt on the forums, if this user did really scam you please report them using the red flag under their name on their profile. You will probably need this page to get message logs https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/GetFriendMessagesLog and this page for your trade history https://steamcommunity.com/my/tradehistory As heidecker said, this is a pretty common scam, hopefully you did not lose too much to learn this lesson. Another thing to watch out for similar to this is some expensive craftables being swapped for their non-expensive non-craftables.

RussellSproutz Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Sorry that happened to you homie. When I came back to trading in 2021 I had someone who tried to scam me with that type of scam. I was able to evade his scam and report him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
