This is no report to get him tagged instantly, just to make that clearly to whoever reads this first. Scammer: steamID: Evil_M steamID32: STEAM_0:1:7692887 steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197975651503 customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Evil_Mario steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197975651503 Ok when u look at his profile u see that he has 3000+ hours of tf2 in his history, yet only 2 positive rep comments. Yet he has a massive collection of items, including Max's, Gentle Manne's Medal, B.M.O.C, Bill's, Unusual Festivizer (Steam). He also has recent trades including 3 other unusuals, 2 of them only had 1 previous owner. Big Vintage Hat collection, all in all a bp of an experienced trader. On my trade he offers a Capacitor, Ze Goggles, Connoisseur's Cap and the Elf Set for Scout on my Unusual Berliner's Bucket with Fetti. In a previous trade he tried to sell the Capacitor for 2 keys and failed. He knows this offer is well below a Bill's. I accepted the friend request to see what he had to say and he admitted he was a scammer and item shark. All in all just his history, his bp, his low profile rep and his way of trading doesn't check out. If anybody gets any terrible lowball offers from this guy please comment on this as well and please leave this thread open, just curious to see if this guy actually is a regular scammer/shark.
1)Just because a person has high hours and low rep does not really mean anything. 2)Usually +rep comes with things like paypal trades or middlemanning things. 3)TF2 did have a time when trading didn't exist, so he could of played a lot then. 4)SR does NOT mark for sharking because prices are subjective to a certain extent. Hope this clarified anything.
well 1 through 3 aren't too valid tbh..i have about 35 comments through normal trading, paypal traders usually have to have a positive rep built up before anybody will trade them..if he played a lot before trading existed, how did he get such a massive backpack, more importantly how did he get so many valuable promos and 2 unusuals without getting any rep for it? also he admits to being a scammer so the fact that he also sharks shouldn't mean too much..I never said I expect him to get marked, but ur just taking this to lightly imo..I'm no trade noob and this is the first time I report without actually getting scammed, because this guy just seems very fishy and it also looks a lot like he has an alt account which he uses to move sharked/scammed items (also on another note, if I trade a couple of plain weps for an unusual u guys won't mark me? that's odd)
He wasn't confessing to being a scammer, he was being sarcastic. Positive rep or negative rep comments on profile are also worthless, most people (including me) delete them, as they spam up my profile. If someone wished to rep me for a cash trade (which I don't do) they would use SOP. Buying an unusual with a short history does not make you a scammer. SR does not mark for sharking, and even if you were to accept his offer, it would still not really be accepted as extreme sharking. Look at reports for sharks on other communities, they often involve high tier unusuals and offers of a few weapons.
