    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198126138108

    Victim profile: 76561198044019620

    What happened? Description:
    Quick-switched a Professional Killstreak Strange Pain Train with a normal Strange Pain Train in a trade.

    Added me to buy a Flippin' Awesome Taunt, put the Pro. Pain Train in the trade window (would have been nice overpay, but not outrageous, as those are hard sells for ~$4-5 on the SCM) then asked if I had a Square Dance Taunt instead, and switched out the Pro. Pain Train for the normal one as I was adding the other taunt.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Screenshots show that my approximately 1 key taunt was traded for a normal Strange Pain Train via my trade history, and that I verified the accused is indeed the person I traded with.

    As the conversation took place within the trade window rather than in Steam chat, (and steam automatically closes the trade window and displays a "trade completed" message upon completion of a trade), I am unable to provide direct evidence that I did not agree to trade a one key taunt for a 1-2 scrap Strange.

    However, the idea that anyone would knowingly agree to such a lopsided trade is preposterous. Additionally, the accused has already been banned from backpack.tf for QS scamming. Even if the evidence I have provided is not enough to mark the accused as a scammer, it should at least be enough to serve as a a warning to other potential scam victims.​

    He scammed a Flippin' Awesome taunt from me in the same way. Unfortunately, I used in-trade chat for the negotiations and did not take a screenshot of that, so I can't file a report of my own. Screenshots of my Steam chat and trade with him anyway:

    He accepted a second trade with me after I told him that I would ban him from backpack.tf, but he went offline in the middle of that trade and never gave me the Strange Pro KS Pain Train that was promised to me.

    @Chancellor Puddinghead, Make your own report. Your evidence will not be reviewed here.
    @Brave Sir Robin, Without the original chat agreement you do not have sufficient evidence for a report.
    Archiving due to lack of chat agreement.
