Description:
A further and more detailed account will come soon, as I must leave shortly for work.

As stands, TurkOGP supposedly bought these hats "unknowingly" and claimed he did not know they were hacked from my account until after he bought them. Despite this fact, his own logs serves to suggest he did not only know but did it without regarding said information. To quote Turk,

"Well to be honest i did not even chack their history
Didn't matter for me duped or jacked for some reason
I gave 23 pure for 3 of them"

With three of them referring to two Burning Honcho Headgear's and a Stormy Storm Samureye.

Despite having several available tools at his disposal, Turk didn't check to see the authentication of the hats. Instead, he bought the hats because they were "incredibly cheap" and he knew he could make a profit. Not only that, but Turk has also claimed this is not the first time this has occurred. According to his own testimony, "That happened to me a couple times before." If only due to his prior experience within this and the fact he has the experience to know better, I believe it can be strongly stated that TurkOGP commonly buys from hackers and scammers to resell for profit.

On top of this, I will speak to Blaster. According to the testimony, which has been preserved via screen shot, Blaster knew for a fact that Turk knew they were hacked before purchasing them. I will try to follow up with Blaster soon.

Outside of following up on Blaster, Turk assured me he would not further launder the hats so as to aid in their recovery. Less than a hour after this conversation, he sold one of the hacked hats to DW | James for his Burning Armored Authority. This is sown in the Traded Honcho picture.

This is the blaster in question offering on the hijacked Stormy Team-Captain.

Wow where do I begin with turk,every time I see him in TF2-Trader he always has a new unusual and they are always either scammed or hacked. He bought jen_nerz eerie fez ,he bought your hats, he bought long fellows blizzard fedora that was scammed off him awhile back. He is always buying hacked items or stolen items there is no way he doesn't know that they were cheap for a reason. I even told him that the fedora was scammed.

I see, thank you Rob. I'll be sure to speak to him, and after that, I will decide if I want to press against him or not. I know for a fact he knew it was my own hat as Turk's logs incriminate Blaster as well. Not only that, but Blaster had offered on my hats several times both on TF2Outpost, TF2TP, and TF2Trader's server.

As for Turk, I can only wait to see staff's judgement.

Surprised no-one else has picked up on this actually, he bought a planets magistrates+some flies spy hat for 1.5 buds, entered the tf2-trader server and instantly flipped them around for 2 buds. Every single hijack that happens, he's on the friends list; it's almost like he profits solely from these hijacks.

In fact here's an example right now at the time of writing:

1) This guy gets hijacked: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=109894
2) This happens on tf2tp: http://i.imgur.com/Fbv73.png
3) Guess who's on the friends list? http://i.imgur.com/STZmI.png

If you monitor friends lists of these hijacks you'd be surprised how many big name traders feed off these (bivak aka "deny" is on every single one too).

Yeah i allways buy for profit. Does it matter when i found ultra cheap hat? I do not have to check if it's hijacked or duped. In the end someone going to buy that hat and make profit. Why wouldn't i ? And I can swear that i do not check before buy because it doesn matter for me as i know either way i am going to make good profit out of it.

After Rob confronted him on his tf2outpost thread here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/710472

called receiving or recycling (such as money laundering) if something stolen whom the purchase is first charged with receiving stolen as it happens around the world

too easy make profit like that ..... if i do some like you i'm rich ............ If I do not do it because you risk the tag scammers and everyone knows it, I highly chains rattle and you deserve the tag and stop scammers. are you aware that the Unusuals were stolen and that you bought it from 'hackers take to get you hours should not be punished like everyone else? You are special?

The interesting thing is this: where 'a hacker or someone else is selling stolen Unusuals there is you in the friends ............. is a vice

dude y u hacked at the first place? stop downloading tf2 item generators n s✿✿✿. ppl like you ruined tf2 economy..i hope valve wont return your unusuals

You do realise people are getting hacked without even clicking a link or downloading anything right?....It's hackers actually targeting the accounts with the most unusuals and bypassing SteamGuard.

Hello there. Just one of my friend warned me about this thread. I am going to explain some of the situations.

First of all;
When I got eerie fez I was pretty new on this trading business. And back then not many people getting scammed as well as i know. I don't know because i'm not using SOP etc. as i mentioned before. After that I learnt it was hijacked one and keep that fez for a while. Didn't know what is going to happen to my hat. Nothing happened and jen got her / his stuff back.

Secondly;
About that Blizzardy Fedora. I traded that Fedora In tf2-trader unusual hat server. Didn't know it was scammed either. And traded my unusual to his fedora + some stuff. Not even traded pure promos. I wasn't the second hand after hijack.

Thirdly;
About Sam's post. I got banned from trading post just because I buy some stolen hats from real hackers. Thats not that big deal. One of my friend told me some one is selling stolen hats. I added him after saw that thread. And told him I am going to report him because of this. I had enough promos back than but did not bought them. It was about this morning or yesterday night. Not quite sure.
^^ And posted on the real owners outpost trade http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/674562 .

Lastly;
About Docs' items. Yes I bought them unknowingly for sure. Couldn't miss that cheap beauties to be honest. I am not lying to anyone or not ignoring any crime. I'm just mentioning some one is going to buy that hat eventually. That hats are gone to hacker. It's not our porblem after that happens in my opinion. As I mentioned to Doc before I didn't checked the history just because they are extremely cheap.

In addition to this Blaster blamed me that i was knowing they are stolen before purchase and he is going to report me. Than he bought the TC. That was really funny. I'm not blaming him either. Some one is going to make good profit out of that hat and that became Blaster. Could've been someone else.

So sorry about these troubles I am not the real criminal here neighter Blaster or other hijack hat buyers. That happens all the time.

Ofcourse judgement belongs to the stuff but I don't believe we deserve something big. I got warned by Doc. Than didn't buy those stuff as i mentioned on this post. After we talked with Doc I saw he was listed as Scammer On Steamrem. That fricked me out a little to be honest. I'm sorry about that either.

Thanks.

The fact that Blaster bought the hacked TC doesn't clear your name, it merely muddies Blaster's. The fact that you've admitted to having purchased many hacked hats in the past should make it clear to you that you should do a fair bit more research on anything that seems to good to be true. Why would anyone want to get rid of god-tier hats quickly unless they weren't the true owners? There comes a point where ignorance is no longer justifiable, and you've sailed past it long ago, by the looks of it.

I'm not saying that to clear my name. Yes, I bought stolen hats couple of times before. But unknowingly bought them and almost no one warned me about that i just figured out myself. And this report shouldn't be about me it should be about the real "Scammer". Buying that hats doesn't make me scammer. If it is there are a lot of scammers out there than. I can't buy all the stolen hats right? Who gets the hats from real owner is scammer not the people buying them for cheap.

Laundering a hacked or stolen unusual is crucial to the scamming process, however. By quickly trading it off to an established trader, the hacker can hopefully advert attention away from himself and onto others. By doing this, the hacked unusual is returned, quickly, to the trading community and the launderer is generally able to flip the hat at below average pricing yet still have room for profit. This not only hurts the hat's unusual value but still nets the launderer his profit for dealing with the scammer. Overall, a launderer is required to help any actual hacker. Why? If the hat just sticks on the laundering accounts, the hacker gets marked before he can sell it off. The fact you bought it does make you guilty by associated Turk. Several judicial systems even have laws against the laundering of other materialistic goods, such as stolen cash, as it is in fact such a crucial part of stealing anything.

By trading it off, again, you made it even harder for Valve to reverse the trades. Not only that, but you immediately sold it off after promising, less than a hour beforehand, that you would not.

My point is this, Turk. I brought this thread up against you not because of this specific case but because of the long train of laundering history you do have. You've ended up with several scammed and hacked unusuals since you've began trading and that makes you shady. I'm leaving it up to the judgment of SteamREP on if you should be marked or not, however.

Apparently he's quitting the TF2 market.

Hm.

Found a good customer for earbuds. Willing to buy almost all of them. And I was thinking about quitting before.

Laundering? It's funny to see what tf2 trading has become. A mirror of the real world market.

a19 write to support for what? he buy stolen unusuals from the hacker isn't the first time ............. why he don't have tag ? -.-

TurkOGP No Pricechecks. posted 2 weeks ago:

Why should i have a tag anyway? They are already stolen. Does that really matter if someone buys or sells them? We are not hackers here I'm just trying to find cheap unusuals and when i found one just buying it. Without knowing anything about the history of the item. Because it doesn't matter for me as i mentioned before.

Yeah, I bet you overstepping a few lines had nothing to do with your decision to quit asap.
