    This user is selling a supposedly "rare gift-wrapped" series 1 crate on Team Fortress 2 Outpost. He is claiming that old retired crates are no-longer gift-wrapable, which is true. However, the evidence says that his crate is not a retired series crate, and is infact a series #45, which is not retired and still can be gift-wrapped. (http://optf2.com/tf2/item/76561197988531991/883225687?contents=1).

    He also claims that his "alt" had gift-wrapped it, which is also a lie since the ID would have changed (http://www.tf2outpost.com/item/883225687/440/5043/6), and that the website says that he gift-wrapped it himself. The ID also proves that he had gift-wrapped fairly recent, hence the ID 883225687. (If he had gift-wrapped it when series 1 crates were gift-wrapable then the ID would have to be much lower)

    This is a scam waiting to happen. (As he already has offers of people offering over 4 refined for it)

    TF2OP took no action, we will take no action either, unfortunately. I have added a private caution.
