    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Misrepresenting virtual items
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198308976829

    Victim profile: 76561198326293981

    What happened? Description:
    The bot "StrangeBot #2 | stn.tf" was selling a strange festive ambassador for 4 keys + 19.88 ref on backpack.tf. I wanted it and paid with 5 keys and added 7.77 ref to his ambassador, which would make it equal in price as the bot uses the prices from bp.tf. The bot then added me and told me that i offered 138.11 ref in items for items worth 138.33 ref.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The screenshot reveals that a key is 27.66 ref:

    5 keys * 27.66 = 138.33 ref (The boy says that this is 138.11 ref)

    4 Keys * 27.66 = 110.66 ref

    110.66 + 19.88 + 7.77 = 138.33 ref

    The bot was trying to take 2 scrap from me. That is basically a scam attempt. Bots are not humans, so they keep using the same prices and i have seen other people where the bot told them the same thing. I have experienced this with the same bot several times, but at first i thought it was a mistake, but the bot keeps lying about the price. Bots usually trade a lot, so the bot can scam a lot of other people for small amounts like 2 scrap, but in the end the bot has ribbed off people for much more metal than 2 scrap. It is just 2 scrap, but if it keeps going, then the bot can make thousands of scraps with this scam metode.​

    SR won't get involved with pricing/value disputes - take whatever issues you have to the site and the bot owner not here.
