    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Other] Any other fraudulant behavior
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    What happened? Description:
    I, LardDude, received a friend and then trade request from The Accused and he was interested in purchasing my two "Strange Part: Domination Kills". These sit at a price of 2.8 keys (1 key = ~18.66 ref), and he was attempting to offer a 3:2 trade with just 3 ordinary cosmetics, worth about 4.33 ref. I'd have chalked this up as The Accused not knowing much about the trading system in TF2, but I really can't when there's a comment on their profile from a trader who bought 200 keys from them via PayPal. It's unrealistic to expect someone to not know much about the trading system when they've had that many keys, so I suspect The Accused was out to shark me of my items. He said that he didn't think he had enough for the two parts and that was that.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The first two files are of the chat-log on Steam, where 002 carries on for a short while after 001.

    The third file, 003, shows the comment about the purchase of 200 keys via PayPal mentioned in the description above.

    The fourth file is an .mp4 that shows I can reach their profile through clicking their name in the chat. Alternatively, here's a link to it.

    The fifth to the ninth image are the various prices of items at the time.​

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, what you describe falls under sharking, which we don't mark for as per our Investigative Policy.

    Thanks.
