    This one really f✿✿✿✿✿✿ hurts me. A lockjaw is honestly, whatever, I've lost way more to scammers, but the fact that this is the third or fourth time I've gotten scammed in a row has really impacted my ability to trust any trader, at all, for any reason.

    This guy talked with me for 3 days about trading and I checked his steamrep multiple times, checked how many scammers he had as friends, and guess what? The guy has only 1, and even has a f✿✿✿✿✿✿ verified green tagged middleman and moderator on his friends list. What the f✿✿✿?

    http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024890686 <---- This is the guy I'm talking about. This guy being friends with this scammer is kind of what pushed me over the edge to trust him. Not that I'm placing blame.

    It's my fault I trusted him and got ripped off, but let me tell you there were only 2 f✿✿✿✿✿✿ flags that the guy wasn't on the level, and the first was his inventory. It's too small to make sense, I think. The second was him asking me to send him an invoice so he could "check my paypal" and make sure it was verified, which I know first hand is a load of bullshit. But after 3 days, the guy disappearing and reappearing after holding pleasant, normal, non-rushed conversations with me? He really convinced me he was a completely normal person and not a f✿✿✿✿✿✿ a✿✿✿✿✿✿.

    My point is, for a scammer, he is extremely patient, and his account has 20 bought games on it. He has 130 or so friends. Plenty of time spent playing. It's not a new account. Like, I even f✿✿✿✿✿✿ googled him.

    enough of my crying. here's the transcript.


    Code:
     Crucifox: Yo
    Zantec [Dota2Traders.com]: ?
    Crucifox: I want to sell dota 2 items.

    Zantec [Dota2Traders.com]: before that
    Zantec [Dota2Traders.com]: do you have a rep page?
    Crucifox: No, and since you're obviously a known person I might as well tell you up front I'm marked as a scammer on steamrep.
    Crucifox: Since you'll look and find out anyway.
    Crucifox: I'm innocent, but I'm not talking to you to try and prove or disprove that.

    Crucifox: I don't want to scam you or get some ridiculously inflated price.
    Crucifox: I just want a simple, easy trade.
    Zantec [Dota2Traders.com]: so quote me best price for osky and trap
    Crucifox: You're really set on making me name a price first aren't you?

    Zantec [Dota2Traders.com]: 55

    Crucifox: Alright.

    Crucifox: I can and WILL link you to steamrep threads I have submitted post being marked where I got other people who thought that marked as scammers.
