    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Item Fraud] Misrepresenting virtual items
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198045109035

    Victim profile: 76561198324834753

    What happened? Description:
    Overview: Met on a trade server, where he tried to shark me out of my unusual by using a fake price tag on the item he was offering. He tried to buy my unusual for a strange hat, possibly under the impression that I'm inexperienced in spotting scams due to my low backpack value.

    Further Details: They were advertising that they were buying and selling unusuals on a trade server. Therefore, i decided to send a trade offer and show my unusual. He quickly cancelled the trade offer (in order to check my backpack to see if I'm a new/inexperienced trader I assume). Then he shortly sent a trade offer again. This slightly raised suspicion yet i continued trading. As seen by the screenshots, they tried to offer me a Strange HazMat Headcase green painted (~2 keys worth) for my Dead Presidents Janissary Ketche. However, he had put a sell listing to make it appear as if his item was worth 24 keys. I played along, for a while, as he tried to convince me that this hat was worth "more than 17 keys" as seen in the screenshots. I'm posting this in order to prevent this person from further trying to scam individuals and in order to protect other members of the trading community.

    Sorry for the crude screenshots, I was in a rush because i though he may close the trade window.​
