About approximately 30 Minutes to an Hour later, he accepted my friend request and we were talking about the trade. He kept trying to get some of my more valuable unusuals included into the deal, but I was only limiting him to some I felt would be profitable for me, as I wasn't positive about accepting with any other unusuals. (This part can be considered highly fake as I couldn't snip what was in the gift he was offering in the trading screen, so I decided that even if I did take the screenshot it would only show a gift without knowledge of what was inside of it.) He traded me and I was putting my items in the trade, when I look to see what is in the present, I see "Vintage Fan of War" in yellow text. I comstantly attempted to take a screenshot of it, but I never was successful. If what is in the text isn't good enough, I'd like to bring up this guy has already been reported in at least one other report : http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/steam_0-1-60885246-doctor-hoovy-penguin.22845/ He has 3 out of 4 of his friends who have commented on his profile banned from valve, one that was involved in Item misrepresentation of a "Vintage Fan of War" The Scammer : http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198045920031 The Report : http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198079249856.20744/ If this guy doesn't have enough against him to be tagged as a scammer, then at least a Caution would make the most sense for a case like this. If you have any additional questions that need to be answered, or if you can tell me how I can take of pictures of the details of items such as this : http://imgur.com/a/V62qm#MC0EBWn (Used Screenshot from this Forum : http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198079249856.20744/ This does not have anything to do with this report, this is just where the screenshot example is from.) Thank you for your time, I've already messed up adding a scammer to the list mainly from stupidity, I don't want this to happen again. Code: Never tell your password to anyone. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: yes? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: what did you add me back for? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Hello? NDzStudios [MCT]: Hello Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Yeah. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: So. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: You added me back. NDzStudios [MCT]: You made an offer on my TF2 Logo Little Buddy Doctor Hoovy Penguin: oh i remember Doctor Hoovy Penguin: want the fan? NDzStudios [MCT]: Sure, I accept Doctor Hoovy Penguin: its dirty though NDzStudios [MCT]: That's not a problem Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I crafted it while I was F2P Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I need a giftwrap NDzStudios [MCT]: Oh, I thought you said you would supply giftwrap Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Oh Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I guess Doctor Hoovy Penguin: fine Doctor Hoovy Penguin: i will NDzStudios [MCT]: I'll add some hats for inconveinience Doctor Hoovy Penguin: alright. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: just a second Doctor Hoovy Penguin: let me launch tf2 and wrap it NDzStudios [MCT]: Ok Doctor Hoovy Penguin: what about the unusual tosslecap? NDzStudios [MCT]: I'm keeping it currently, I dont even have a trade for it Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Kabuto? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: No Kabuto? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Its alright if you say no. NDzStudios [MCT]: I'm just thining right now, but I'm not too sure about the kabuto Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Ok Doctor Hoovy Penguin: well the fan is about 2 buds Doctor Hoovy Penguin: so... Doctor Hoovy Penguin: gotta go. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: come back in about an hour Doctor Hoovy Penguin: then we trade NDzStudios [MCT]: I'm looking for a bit more on the kabuto anyways NDzStudios [MCT]: Ok NDzStudios [MCT]: Even though people are valuing it lower, I'm willing to keep it for a while NDzStudios [MCT]: To get the buyer that's paying what I would be comfortable with NDzStudios [MCT]: But anyways, I'll see you in an hour then Doctor Hoovy Penguin: then can you add sweets to the hat? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: And by the way, I'm back. NDzStudios [MCT]: Well, I did say I'll add some hats for inconveinience so basically Doctor Hoovy Penguin: oh wait Doctor Hoovy Penguin: what about the liquidator NDzStudios [MCT]: Actually, I'd probably do that instead if you want Doctor Hoovy Penguin: its 1.1-1.4 buds NDzStudios [MCT]: Well, now I'm getting confused. Do you want to offer on the liquidator or the little buddy? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: liquidator. NDzStudios [MCT]: Ok, and how much do you want me to add exactly?

NDzStudios [MCT]: Ok NDzStudios [MCT]: Let me show you the hats Doctor Hoovy Penguin has accepted your request to trade. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: sure you don't wanna do the kabuto? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Its worth less than the fan NDzStudios [MCT]: As I said before, I'd prefer to look for a higher offer, something similar to what I sold my Flies Kabuto before for, which was around 2.5 NDzStudios [MCT]: If I take 7 months to do so like my Eerie Steel Toe, so be it Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Oh alright. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: reality headset? NDzStudios [MCT]: Meh, same situation except I'm looking for less, and I didnt have a flies VRH originally Doctor Hoovy Penguin: How do I wrap the gift? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I go to "items" Doctor Hoovy Penguin: then I cliked on the the giftwrap Doctor Hoovy Penguin: then I clicked wrap gift Doctor Hoovy Penguin: and then I clicked on the fan Doctor Hoovy Penguin: and it said... Doctor Hoovy Penguin: "wrapping gift in 5...4...3...2...1..." Doctor Hoovy Penguin: then it disappeared NDzStudios [MCT]: Hmm NDzStudios [MCT]: You could try restarting tf2, as I've actually oddly enough I've never wrapped anything in tf2 before :P Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I guess. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Do you have to be premium. Doctor Hoovy Penguin: to wrap. NDzStudios [MCT]: I dont think so Doctor Hoovy Penguin is now playing Team Fortress 2. Click here to join. NDzStudios [MCT]: Any luck with finding it? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I can't wrap it somehow Doctor Hoovy Penguin: :/ Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Dunno how NDzStudios [MCT]: Well, since it appears you already know how it's just not being successful is kind of odd Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Hmmm... Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I dunno NDzStudios [MCT]: I'm not too sure why it isnt working, you should be able to just wrap it perfectly fine, maybe the valve servers are screwed up right now Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Well... NDzStudios [MCT]: Want to try tomorrow? Doctor Hoovy Penguin: eeeh... Doctor Hoovy Penguin: Well... Doctor Hoovy Penguin: I'm trying. NDzStudios [MCT]: It isnt a problem if it doesnt work today Doctor Hoovy Penguin: trying to get friends to help NDzStudios [MCT]: Ok Doctor Hoovy Penguin has changed their name to Shauer.

Shauer Hour: Just some crappy vintages and this fanowar NDzStudios [MCT]: I know this is a scam, I can see it's renamed Shauer Hour: How? Shauer Hour: How is this a scam/ NDzStudios [MCT]: Easily by colour of text NDzStudios [MCT]: Of what is labelled on the item Shauer Hour: It isn't Shauer Hour: Well. Shauer Hour: See you later if you don't want to do it. NDzStudios [MCT]: I'm not going to trade my unusual for a normal fan of war Shauer Hour: Alright then.

NDzStudios [MCT]: I will NDzStudios [MCT]: See you later Shauer Hour is now Offline.
Also I apologize if this Report is too long, I tend to write this way as it provides a more accurate description of the situation.
I know that optf2 has a gift box "peeker", but his bp is private Thank you for your report, an admin will re-address it shortly.
Yeah as I mentioned before, I tried to just take a screenshot of the giftbox and what it contains with the "Snipping Tool", but every time I hovered my mouse over the item then went to click "New" the item description disappeared. Him with a private Backpack doesn't help what I'm trying to prove but the offer is right in my trade so :/
Ah good! I just posted in the Discussion part of TF2OP because I wasn't sure where to post this. He had added me randomly and said all of this to me http://imgur.com/QHQ6z6U The trade was me showing my Unusuals, he said it was the mining light in the main chat, I exited the trade. Then he said the V. FoW. I knew it was worth 2x the price of the Unusual.. so it seemed skeptical.. then after I said "That makes no sense" he said whatever he said and blocked me 30 seconds later.
I am guessing this idiot didn't even think to put a different name for his ALT scamming account http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198072195758
He didnt even keep his story straight, he told me that he crafted it and told you his friend gave it to him.
Edit: Adding caution because of second report, although both are missing a lot evidence. Banned tag is not possible.
