Accepted Report: 76561198163410568 - ([TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items)

Scam Report

Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

Accused profile: 76561198163410568

Victim profile: 76561198085247817

What happened? Description:

Added via post on TF2 outpost and offered full buyout of an unusual (P.Fetti Co-Pilot @150keys). Wanted item "checked" to see if it was "unmarketable" on OpSkins first. Heavily suspected, kept going to gather evidence because he was currently clean on SteamRep and I wanted to provide concrete proof of intent. Scammer was talking me through the process of listing the item for a high price so he could "check" it and prematurely submitted his fake decoy trade offer from an Opskins bot impersonator account, and then quickly removed me from steam.

Thank you for your time!​

Ky: Hello there
ahd-110: hello!
ahd-110: you were cashing out, werent you?
ahd-110: on the copilot?
Ky: Well, I wasn't particularly putting it that way, but I did list the two most valuable items in my backpack, so I suppose I could go that route too.
Ky: But yep.
ahd-110: uhm
Ky: The copilot and the strange/cold shotgun.
ahd-110: do you have buyouts for both?
Ky: I'm looking at $350 for the pilot, but the shotgun, I don't even know
Ky: It's strange/minimal/unusual and a decent skin, I'm under the impression that it's rather expensive
Ky: But I'm not confident enough to lay down a hard price.
ahd-110: in the pure keys
ahd-110: how much though?
Ky: Oh, uh. Lemme do some quik maffs
ahd-110: sorry xD
Ky: I didn't intend to sell in keys since I'm trying to just get money out of it
ahd-110: im fromc sgo
ahd-110: so you are not selling for pures?
Ky: But i'm not opposed to it, I suppose
Ky: I'll just have to find out how many
Ky: And if I can sell 'em
ahd-110: prices on them are 150 and 50 respectively
ahd-110: keys
Ky: The shotgun is totally unpriced
Ky: Since it's strange
Ky: It's certainly not 50 keys
Ky: That's less than a cool non-strange runs for
ahd-110: oh sorry i thought the barnstormer
Ky: Oh no, I'd rather keep the barnstormer actually
ahd-110: okay
ahd-110: uhm
ahd-110: how much buyout on pilot bro?
Ky: Yeah, the pilot looks like it's 150 across the board
Ky: I don't know how difficult it'd be to sell 150 keys without selling them for like half value though.
Ky: Not too expirienced in that.
ahd-110: uhm
ahd-110: tbh
ahd-110: I can offer 148-150 pure keys
ahd-110: But I wanted to test first if your unusuals are marketable in opskins.
Ky: ah
ahd-110: yeah?
ahd-110: do you know opskins?
Ky: No.
ahd-110: do you know marketplace.tf?
Ky: I do, yes. I understand the premise.
Ky: Never used the site, though.
ahd-110: what do you mean?
ahd-110: uhm
ahd-110: opskins is like marketplace.tf
ahd-110: but different site
ahd-110: im not asking for it first
ahd-110: I just wanted to test first if your unusual can be listed for sale there. Since Opskins tends to have some errors on unusual selling lists.
ahd-110: I will give you instructions on what to do, so we can check properly
ahd-110: if that's okay?
Ky: I won't click on any links from this chat, fyi.
ahd-110: yes
ahd-110: i wont send phish links bro
ahd-110: you can use google
ahd-110: ?
ahd-110: if you want research on it first?
Ky: This certainly sounds like the type of thing someone would say to phish. Drop in, offer to buy at B/O to get hopes up, and scam the item off the person.
Ky: So realistically if that's your game, don't waste your time.
ahd-110: nope that's never my intention
ahd-110: if you wish to research on the site first before judging me
Ky: So what exactly is the problem with Opskins?
ahd-110: Sometimes when you sell items on opskins, no one can see it except the owner
Ky: From my quick research, there's no such thing as an "unmarketable" item on OPskins, and users specifically warn to beware of people claiming that items can be unmarketable and have to be "checked" first.
ahd-110: wasnt even asking for it first
ahd-110: if you wish to decline my offer, feel free, i dont want to force people
ahd-110: thus Im just trying to offer.
ahd-110: you dont have to disrespect me in ways possible
Ky: Hey, you asked me to do research first
Ky: I'm just telling you what I found
ahd-110: sure. then what's your plan, wanna proceed or no.
Ky: What exactly would you need me to do?
ahd-110: Cause I can tell you, if I search steam, I can get many negative reviews on it.
ahd-110: but Im still using steam
ahd-110: Just like list it, we check it on site, get it back, we trade
ahd-110: I will give you isntructions on what values to put, so we can check properly
Ky: aight
ahd-110: so?
ahd-110: shall we ? or no
Ky: sure, I'll play ball.
ahd-110: huh?
Ky: so what, you have me list it for some super high price and you check the listing
Ky: And if it shows up, I pull it and we trade?
ahd-110: yes?
ahd-110: but atleast follow instructions ?
ahd-110: like I tell you how much to put and etc?
ahd-110: if you feel uncomfy just tell
Ky: Sure. Go for it.
ahd-110: okay
ahd-110: go to opskins
ahd-110: login there via steam
ahd-110: tell me if done

Sorry if this isn't enough, I've never submitted a report before.

I should have gotten a screenshot while we were friends, sorry I failed to do that. I'll keep it in mind for the future. I do have a picture of the bot's private profile with the URL now enabled, however. Hopefully that helps.

I'm not sure what more info you need from the SR profile, so I've attached both the scammer and the bot's SR pages as screenshots. If that's not what you need, please let me know what I need to do and I'll get it to you.

Thank you for the assistance.

Sorry to bother you with my genuine interest in helping. Close this thread, I am not going to continue this conversation.

This is the fake bot SR block.

Thank you for telling me what you wanted. I understand that this site is run by volunteers, but you don't have to be hostile. I don't have any more interest in being here than you do, I did not lose anything in this and I don't gain anything from him being banned. I just wanted to help.
