1. There is no such thing as a "pending" ban or Steam admin. Anyone threatening your account is a scammer trying to scare you. Read more.

    Note that player allready has a SOP Caution (this according to him because of selling CD Keys for TF2 items, written by the scammer in the screenshots below) and is currently on a probation.

    Victim;

    steamID: Ellis (Artonkn)

    Long story short;

    Ellis was selling a Scorching Flames Tosslecap since he barely plays TF2 anymore, got added by the scammer in question where he clearly notes the danger he was getting himself into as trading someone with a probation / previous attempts at scamming can be dangerous.

    After testing that they could trade despite the scammer's probation, they agreed on a moneyprice through paypal + a Blizzard Sultan Ceremonial for his Tosslecap. The one mistake that i have to point out is that the victim went first instead of letting the scammer in question go first taking his probation and tags on SR into account. Ellis agreed to have the scammer make a screenshot (He does not have this screenshot anymore as far as i can see) of the money being ready to be sended after the Unusuals would have been traded. Immediatly after receiving the Sultan the scammer blocked him and sold his tosslecap within the next few hours.

    Screenshots below show the chat between the victim and scammer, last one being the inventory history of the victim. All of these were given to me by the victim, attempts of adding the scammer in question have failed (most likely blocked me seeing as i clearly state im a Support Admin for a trading group on Steam)

    Had a talk with the current owner, he gave me a lead wich i feared was the reason that the location of the hat switched so fast, this person is most likely using an alt that also has a probation period going on it;

    A chatlog with the current owner of the Tosslecap (Many thanks to him for providing the alt account)

    Nanaya seemed to be in a hurry but seems to have no knowledge that the item he bought was scammed, he fully cooperated when asked to do so.

    Last screenshot is cut off but it only shows me saying thank you for his cooperation as we are dealing with quite a big scam here.

    Nanaya was also from China so he misinterpreted a few words but got the message in the end that he is not being accused of anything as he didnt know what was happening.
