    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Money] Other cash fraud (webmoney, bitcoin, etc)
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198042476558

    Victim profile: 76561198266876790

    What happened? Description:
    In a trade window, (unfortunately the day before so no evidence) requests that we do the trade through opskins. I am fine with this, until he requests that I make the listing private which i couldn't do at that time, as I had no opskins funds. He told me to add some funds, and i refused, having no access to a source of funds at the time. He told me to quicksell some cheap items that I had so I did, and I mannaged to get $0.44 out of $2.95 for the private listing. Then the following messages happen...

    ...He begins acting quite suspicious and asks for an "opskins key" which i could tell was the api key, but I wanted to press him further so I could get enough evidence for a proper steamrep report. The rest that follows is in the chat logs.

    This is dangerous, as the api key can change the price of any listing, meaning he could get my 80 key unusual for ree​

    Provide Evidence:

    Never tell your password to anyone.

    16:27 - Gutex: Go unto your account and and settings
    16:28 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: then wut
    16:28 - Gutex: Can't remember
    16:28 - Gutex: Just look for a key
    16:28 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: what do you need my key for
    16:28 - Gutex: So I can get to your item instantly
    16:29 - Gutex: When you put it on sale
    16:29 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: ok
    16:29 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: what does it look like
    16:29 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: numbers?
    16:29 - Gutex: just find something that says something with key
    16:29 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: https://opsk.in/u/52jqly
    16:29 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: this?
    16:29 - Gutex: No
    16:29 - Gutex: I think its under advanced settings
    16:29 - Gutex: or something
    16:30 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: the api key?
    16:30 - Gutex: It's a long code I remember
    16:30 - Gutex: Maybe it's that one
    16:30 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: surely you don't need my api key
    16:31 - Gutex: I've always used a key under the advanced settings. Might be another key then
    16:31 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: look for your own key, and tell me where yours was
    16:32 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: hello?
    16:32 - Gutex: one moment
    16:32 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: k
    16:33 - Gutex: It might be the api.
    16:33 - Gutex: I use it for my opskins helper
    16:33 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: it will give you unrestricted access to my opskins account
    16:33 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i'm not giving you my api lol
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: unless you are trying to scam me?
    16:34 - Gutex: What can I do with the key
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: use it
    16:34 - Gutex: It just makes me able to search with items
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: mhm
    16:34 - Gutex: On my program
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: wow
    16:34 - Gutex: You want a screenshot?
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i'm not buying that mate
    16:34 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i don't care about your screenshot
    16:34 - Gutex: hmm
    16:34 - Gutex: alright
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: they say here...
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: NEVER SHARE YOUR API KEY WITH ANYONE. YOUR API KEY GRANTS FULL, UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO YOUR OPSKINS ACCOUNT.
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: so...
    16:35 - Gutex: Does opskins say that?
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: are you trying to scam me or something?
    16:35 - Gutex: I've always used others
    16:35 - Gutex: To just search on skins
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: you don't need to
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i'll give you my list page
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: and you can buy it there
    16:35 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: you don't need my api
    16:36 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: please could you not play games with me... I am not oblivious
    16:36 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: are you going to accept my listing now or not?
    16:37 - Gutex: I've always done like this
    16:37 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: well, this seems quite odd
    16:37 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i wonder why nobody else got suspicious...
    16:37 - Gutex: I don't even know where it could be abused
    16:37 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: neither do i, but i'm not giving to you
    16:38 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: nobody will find the listing, they aren't spamming f5
    16:38 - Gutex: If opskins says that it's understandable LOL
    16:38 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: where?
    16:38 - Gutex: I've never had problems with it though
    16:38 - Gutex: The thing you pasted
    16:38 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: understandable?
    16:38 - Gutex: That you don't wanna give it to me
    16:38 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: oh ok
    16:39 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: so can you just buy it without my api?
    16:39 - Gutex: I've just always done like this and it's been the most safe way for me
    16:39 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: its the most dangerous way for me though
    16:39 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: you have full access to my opskins account
    16:40 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: if i do i
    16:40 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: (it
    16:40 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: *it
    16:40 - Gutex: I have no idea how a key can access an account lmao
    16:40 - Gutex: Without anything else
    16:40 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: me neither, but opskins say it can
    16:40 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: so i'm not going to give that to you
    16:40 - Gutex: hmm
    16:40 - Gutex: fair enough mate
    16:41 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: its strange that first you asked ofr private... and now for my api
    16:41 - Gutex: Just the way I've always done mate when I firstly began to trade on opskins
    16:42 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: look... its clearly not if you were wliling to change in less than 24 hours
    16:42 - Gutex: Change what?
    16:42 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: from private listing to my api
    16:42 - Gutex: I don't know what that means
    16:43 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: why were you able to change from me doing a private listing, to me giving you my api, when you always did private before
    16:43 - Gutex: I've always done it with key
    16:43 - Gutex: Both privately and key
    16:43 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: hmm...
    16:44 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: do you need to do it the same every time
    16:44 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: and also, i was abou to do private and you didn't ask for key
    16:44 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: ...
    16:44 - Gutex: Yeah. I didn't think the key was that powerful. Others have not gotten problems with it
    16:45 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i don't pay attention to that... they said not to give it as you have unrestricted access
    16:45 - Gutex: Yeah.. I have no idea, dude :p
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: dude, will you just do it the normal way
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: you do your way v strangely
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: like who dafuq uses opskins over marketplace.tf
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i was ok with that
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: but now u want my api
    16:46 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: cmon dude
    16:46 - Gutex: I play csgo for the most part, and opskins is very popular with csgo
    16:47 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: ok... but you want to scam my tf2 items?
    16:47 - Gutex: Not really
    16:47 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: nobody will give an api key like that
    16:47 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: if you are so concerned that somebody will take the listing (as yo usaid) i have put it up before and nobody took it
    16:48 - Gutex: I've just always gotten told that the public listings and stuff like that can be a bit fishy
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: no it can't
    16:48 - Gutex: So I've stuck to the private
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: see, its up right now
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: nobody has it
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: its not fishy
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i have 2 rep on bp.tf
    16:48 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i'm not a scammer
    16:49 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i've returned item loans
    16:49 - Gutex: It's fine if you don't want to give the key dude ;) I'll just find another unusual
    16:49 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i prefer that to losing my unusual
    16:50 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: if yo ucan't accept the trade normally, ill report you because that's so fishy
    16:50 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: using an api key for a trade...
    16:51 - Gutex: Trust me dude. I have no intentions of scamming. I'm just doing as usual
    16:51 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: so am i
    16:51 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: wait tho
    16:51 - Gutex: But if you don't wanna risk it it's fine. I'm not gonna convince you
    16:51 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: its here https://opskins.com/?loc=shop_view_item&item=379181652
    16:51 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: all you have to do is click one button and you have it lol
    16:51 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: its the exact same
    16:52 - Gutex: And as I said. I've had problems with the public stuff
    16:52 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: and you said that problem was somebody else taking it
    16:52 - Gutex: But no harms done my dude. I'm sure another guy will buy it
    16:52 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: nobody has taken it yet
    16:53 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: WOAH!!! its still there
    16:54 - Gutex: Dude. It's just about what ive always done and it's gonna stick that way

    16:54 - Gutex: But np my dude ;)
    16:54 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: fine, if i send you my key, but not private, will you buy it?
    16:54 - Gutex: privately ;)
    16:55 - Gutex: But you don't have to sell it to me if you don't want to
    16:55 - Gutex: I'm sure there's a lot of people who want that taunt
    16:55 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: u are good at crushing people's hopes
    16:56 - Gutex: It's so little I ask for :p
    16:56 - Gutex: But it's okay ;)
    16:56 - Gutex: I get if you think it's risky

    16:57 - Gutex: Yeah.. Didn't think it would be such of a problem
    16:57 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: i'm ok with private soon, but the api...
    16:57 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: it does nothing
    16:57 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: what do you want to do with the api
    16:57 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: *nothing good

    16:58 - Gutex: w/e my man
    16:58 - De Boz Mann | Mannco.trade: why do you need a program that finds it when i sent you a link?
