    I have more proof, he also tried to scam me. He offered me PayPal money for my Stranges and TF2 keys (even though I wasn't selling them). I told him I wasn't selling them, but I was selling a Strange Pro KS Knife. I told him I only accept community market money for IRL cash and he told me that he can't use market for 1 month. He said he would give me a Steam Wallet Gift Code, but I had to give the knife first. He offered $40 on the knife, way past my buyout. I asked him for rep, but he didn't have any.

    he gave me 7 keys back.. after that he asked me if i can remove the thread.. xD
    no thanks, i hope you have a bad time in trading (also more after you called me a nazi. sadly, i don't saved the chatlog of this)

    also thanks for 2 free keys, rekt.
  13. I can verify that he/she is a scammer and I lost $60 worth too, scammed me when I was very new to unusual trading and I couldn't get screenies. I hope we can find the main account because this account was depleted of items.

    I've been trading now for about 4 years, and though I do it less and less these days- and only with the end goal to completely transmute my backpack in a desperate attempt to leave behind this sorry business forever- every so often I accept an add from a stranger in anticipation that I'll be rid of my few remaining hats. Just this very hour I accepted an add from this imbecile http://steamcommunity.com/id/Jaun23/- the superstar of this thread- hoping to be relieved of my recently advertised noh mercy w/flies or infernal impaler w/flies (available at the bargain prices of 20 pure and 2.5 pure respectively). Reading the previous posts, how this desperate fool has managed to evade a steamrep ban for this long has me very concerned about the capabilities of the steamrep staff.

    Anyway, here's our chat:

    Never tell your password to anyone.

    21:21 - Megalomaniac: i mean i dont want to sell you items because you are a scammer
    21:22 - MADATAGAME: this is like primary school
    21:27 - MADATAGAME: im glad we're still friends
    21:35 - MADATAGAME: im gonna be the one who confirms that unconfirmed scam report on steamrep

    And here I am, faithful to my word.

    I hope that my years of clean reputation count here. In 4 years never before have I encountered such a hilariously inept and childish wannabe scammer (and I've seen some fools, believe me).

    Please, ban this idiot.
  15. XD the last post was hilarious. I can't believe I was scammed by this mentally redundant excuse for a human being. Unbelievable. I really don't get how this shithead isn't trade banned yet, and another thing is that he/she's offering STEAM CODES. Lel. Community's great man.

    I can confirm that this user (Megalomaniac) had also tried to scam my Ye Oiled Baker Boy unusual. He offered to buy for $70 paypal and I told him I would give a discount if it was in key/buds. Apparently he can't use market or buy keys from the community market or mann co store. (even though he isn't f2p and has a decent amount of hours). The trade evidence of his past paypal trades consisted of one of his friends. However, I did not trust him so I backed out of the trade.

    Seeing this thread makes me very uncomfortable. I was hoping that our trade was just a mixup but this doesn't bode well.
