    I wouldn't have thought a Skial Administrator would scam.

    Description: Scammer said had seen my trade on tf2op.com and then added me. We talked about the price for a few minutes and the scammer agreed to pay $35 for my Strange Huntsman. The scammer refused to pay me first saying holding higher reputation. I trusted due to the scammer's rep profile page told me that he was a Skial Admin. After I traded the item the scammer immediately removed me and didn't pay me through paypal.

    I was just skimming the reports and I see that the "admin" has been scamming a bunch of people. Hasn't that come to your attention yet?

    What daemon is saying - is open up your trade history - you can access by clicking Inventory and to the upper right side it should say Item History, then click on that user you traded to whom you claimed scammed you and paste their profile link into SR so you are 100% sure you are pointing out the correct user. Looking around there is someone impersonating this user you linked here which is likely whom got you was an imposter.

    He's been banned for impersonating already because he's scammed too many people already anyways.

    Well always click on the users profile and copy page URL - paste in yourself to verify but you still didn't post the one you traded with from the trade history
    BOT MouseCake™ and Melkor like this.
