    Description:
    I was randomly traded for an offer on my Unusual and a man offered me a Untradable Bubbling team captain for it knowing this was a scam i got him to add me and to restate in trade what exactly he was doing gathering all the proof i needed i was taking screen shots the whole time while an admin was getting his steam 64 and banning him. After i told him i knew it was a scam he still attempted to make me do it by saying Trust me im a man of god why would i lie to you and then stating he would also throw in a strange. ps. Thankyou for your help and making this community safer for traders

    1. It was an attempt scam (not that its good ofc)
    2. TBH, I appreciate you brought ppl attention to this.
    3. I still can't get over the fact that you knew he was a scammer yet you still added him to get the proof (nice evidence btw). I would've been easier to handle this if you caught him scamming you. It seems confusing and too biased. Maybe he DID have it in his friends account but had to do something rash to let you wait. I think it would be easier for the moderators/admins to pass judgement if you have any prior proof that he was trying to scam. (tf2op trade/ALTS/Backup from other traders/etc.)

    I hope you get this case resolved and best of luck!

    Actually they do... If you buy keys from the store, they are untradeable when you first get them, for a few days. The same goes for anything that those keys unbox. He may have bought keys from the store and unboxed a bubbling Team Captain.

    Well when that happens they are also unwrappable.
