    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Gambling] Gambling fraud or spycrab runner
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198053283445 (Apollo Brown (now changed to 'Maximuss'))

    Victim profile: 76561198033657100

    What happened? Description:
    'Apollo Brown' was looking for people to spycrab in Vatican City | Unusual Trade server.
    I took him up on the offer, and he ran when I won.

    It was only for a craft hat, but it is the principle of the matter that bothers me most (as well as wasted time)

    We agreed to spycrab craft hat vs. craft hat (my snapped pupil vs his rubber glove)
    We agreed on terms, both in trade chat and game chat (attached both captures below)

    We kept score in game chat, and when I won 3-2, the user immediately disconnected from the game and closed our trade without exchange, then changed their name to Maximuss (still has same avatar).

    The server doesn't show alerts of connects/disconnects, but there were several people witnessed including an admin who helped me out with the issue. I expressed my strong discontent as soon as he quit, apologies for the expletives.

    There was a warning of the user attempting trade scams when they initially sent me a trade, but this is often abused by others, so I trusted his word.

    Thank you for your help.
    Hopefully this will teach them to be more honorable and not attempt to scam others for personal gain. There is nothing more despicable than habitual spycrab runners.​

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, we no longer accept reports involving in game bets (such as spycrabbing or heavy boxing), these should be reported to the community where it happened.

    Thanks for the report nevertheless.
