To start off with, i traded my Poisoned Shadows Rebel Rouser + Stormy storm hot dogger (all clean) for a DUPED Steaming warpig and a DUPED pyro's beanie green confetti. Idgaf about dupes, but eh. So prodi-G said that someone called Argentum Syndicate would pay a Chiroptera Venenata Well-Rounded Rifleman for these 2 unusuals. I didn't believe him at first, so i added the guy and asked him. Argentum said he will trade his unusual for the warping + beanie. It sounded all legit, because the warping + beanie added up to around 80-90 keys, and the rifleman was about 100 keys. So, i traded with Prodi-G and then after i got the items, i asked Argentum to trade with me. BAM! They had both blocked and removed me as friends. This had been the second time that i have been scammed like this. Technically according to backpack,tf, i made profit o.o But seriously this scam....



Here is a summarised version of what this scam is about:

So, let's name the 'Prodi-G' of the scam, Player X. Let's name his helper, Player Y and you the victim as the VICTIM.

Player X asks you if you would be interested in an unusual. At this point, he doesn't have the unusual but he said that if you bought his hats, you can buy that unusual. Most of the time, that unusual looks amazing. So in this case, lets name that unusual the Burning flames team captain. Player X doesn't have the burning flames team captain but he said that someone who DOES have the Burning flames team captain would like to trade his hat for some of player X's hats. the VICTIM will see this like a good deal. Of course the VICTIM would have to overpay to get Player X's hats so he can get Player Y's (the team captain holder) unusual team captain. So, VICTIM trades a lot of nice hats (with overpay) for Player X's hats. After the VICTIM traded with player X, he asks Player Y to trade with him (after he adds him and confirms that player X is not lying about the Team captain guy). BAM! BOOM! ALAKAZAM (Pokemon ) They both unfriend you and with a burning block.


This scam is relatively new and can be quite controversial. I have some proof that they had both unfriended and blocked me. I hope that this scam will get noticed. This time, I lost some good shizzz. Well please make this noticeable.

P.S: The Argentum Syndicate was his accomplice.

I am sure that they are others out there that have been scammed like this :c

anyone?

???

Thank you for the evidence, but please do not post 2 or 3 of the same screenshot.
Also the " Player x and player y" example was redundant.
Summing up the story was good enough, but the way you described it didn't make much sense in the order you put it in.
So I had to sum things up myself.
Just get to the point.

ok. when will this be reviewed?

Well it really depends on the user's post, the amount of evidence and information provided within it. Your post will, in no doubt, be reviewed, but the amount of time to pass may be around 3 weeks to a month of a response because of this type of post. There is countless amount of scams occuring, so the administration would mostly choose the reports that already provide enough evidence to confirm the offender. This report was all over the place, disorganized, so I would advise for you to redo the post to get a early judgment.

Happened to me same guy same scame diffrent items. I really dont care about my items but if steamrep don't ban this guy I might just take matters into my own hands and literally kill Prodigy who lives in Indonesia Jakarta and who is a Student at some school C:
