    Goes around trying to scam/shark newbs, by having them give out hats and metals for a weapon.

    I was not scammed but I copied the chat log because he canceled the trade as soon as I called him out:

    The Stigma: i will give you mad milk, but only if you give me hats
    The Stigma: don't take out the scrap metal though
    Mr. Dr. Core7: you must think i'm a noob, either that or you're a sharker or a noob
    The Stigma: fine, but can you add another scrap then
    Mr. Dr. Core7: no one scrap, take it or f✿✿✿in leave it
    The Stigma: Thank you
    (I didn't trade with him, I dunno why he said that)
    [Trade has expired]

    Basicly the Mad Milk is very sought after at the moment as its part of the Flying Guillotine recipe, this is merely a highball in my opinion. Unless you can provide screenshots stating that he has been asking other players besides you hats for his items wich arent of equal value, only then can we speak of actual sharking.

    I like to call it sharking because he thought I was F2P (deleted my mercenary badge and traded my Ghastlierest Gibus) and demanded I give him hats. When I told him I was going to report him to Steam Rep he seemed kind of scared, and THEN he offered me the mad milk for a scrap.

    When I accused him of sharking, however, (Mr. Dr. Core7: Stigma is a sharker :)) he started insulting me and was trying to disprove my credibility by calling me an F2P and providing 'proof'. (Although, I'm not. ;p) He tried to act like he actually bought the game, but his mercenary badge says otherwise.

    So it seemed to me like he's done this before. And if he has not, he still tried to scam somebody for an item that's worth barely anything.

    I'll do some more investigation now and then (go undercover) and try and get a screenshot of a scam.

    Don't close this thread, keep it open, I assure you all that I will be able to get a screenshot.

    Im merely helping out Steamrep in my free time, basicly trying to speed up the process so admins dont have to lose too much time on reports.

    But yes, if you can provide a screenshot, that would help tremendously.

    Right now due to our heavy scam report load, we are referring all sharking reports to our sister communities AF2 & Mann Co Trading. Please copy/paste (or link) this message on their forums. Thank you!
