    Description: I was looking to buy games on TF2outpost.com, I found a guy selling Prototype, offered, and he added me. He said he found that he couldn't trade his games and gave me a screenshot to show the problem: http://i.imgur.com/I3dol.png He then said he could gift it to me and gave this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/IMPZY.png He said he was afraid of getting scammed, so I offered to go first. I traded him the three keys as was agreed earlier in the chat, then he un-friended me without gifting the game. I also searched his name on Outpost, and apparently he has multiple accounts: http://www.tf2outpost.com/find/cakesbro And I believe he's been doing this scam multiple times with the same games judging by his trades.

    Chat transcript:

    It seems like it's a empty account so he's probably trading games to his original account?

    I did not want to make a new thread for this, but I found another alt account of the scammer known as Anton and possibly Cakesbro: Alt account: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198067751293 Cakesbro: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198067751293 Anton: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198063485559 This Mariah user has trades on outpost with the exact same format as Cakesbro used http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/124790 and the 3 +reps on the profile are not only in quick succession, but by people who are in Cakesbro's and Anton's friends list. 1 of the reppers is Anton himself. Here is the screenshot of proof I took: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8901/report1m.png I apologize if I'm being too enthusiastic about this or not just leaving it be and letting the admins do their job, but I hate seeing that so many people were scammed by this person and he continues to do it :/
