    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Quick-switch trade scam or attempt
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198128341051 (James)

    Victim profile: 76561198033657100

    What happened? Description:
    James was quick-selling his Australium flamethrower for 12 keys in Firepowered.org Unusual Trade.

    We agreed on 11 keys and some stranges.
    During the trade, without me realizing, he switched the Australium S. flame thrower for a normal S. flamethrower.

    Upon trade success i realized what had happened, attached are screenshots of the trade history with the user. as well as his profile, now set to private.

    I have no screenshot of the physical trade window... but it is obvious by the trade history what happened here... since Strange flame throwers are 1 refined, and i payed 11 keys and items for what James claimed to be an Australium Flame Thrower.

    Thank you.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Trade history pictures, showing our trade after James quick-switched his Australium Flame Thrower for a normal Strange Flame Thrower​

    Can you show the original Firepowered.org trade post made by the accused?

    I sure wish I could, but I didn't anticipate getting scammed.. Since James and I were negotiating for a while in trade chat, I got dropped for being AFK, thus not having any way to screenshot the game chat contents.

    But, clearly I wouldn't have payed that much for an item that's worth 1 measly refined :(
