    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Trade Offer Fraud] Using Trade Offer URL fraud
    Virtual item type involved: [TF2] Team Fortress 2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198158974225

    Victim profile: 76561198118447320

    What happened? Description:
    Sends friend request; opens up chat and asks for items. Usual request for unusual taunt (Fountain of Delight High Five), Painted Plumber's Cap, and Panzer Pants taunt. Uses unusual grammar and identical syntax to another user who is banned on backpack.tf. Proceeds to lead me to BitSkins.com, and continues with a typical trade-url based scam.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Pg. 1 is original trade agreement
    Pg. 2-5 is scam attempt
    (ps. minor cropping was done b/c I have a second monitor attached. All it had on it was random discords, nothing related to attempt; dates and stuff are all out of wack, took three days for this to unfold) View attachment 693510 View attachment 693511 View attachment 693512 View attachment 693513 View attachment 693514 View attachment 693515 View attachment 693516 View attachment 693517

    @Wheat (100% GMO) What bot? You showed a screenshot from the bot that sent you an offer but you left out any info on it?

    Please provide a full screen shot of that trade offer again thru a PC - open this with a web browser, move your mouse over the users name in question so it shows up the hypertext popup URL at the bottom of the screen - take the screen shot DO NOT edit it in anyway and upload.

    Okay sorry about the minimal info about the bot (It was literally 12:30 in the morning when I posted this), If there anything else specific you're looking for, I can tell you that after he "guided" me through BitSkins (I literally just said yes without doing anything else) I was sent a trade requesting said items without any payment from the bot pictured, even though I had not even opened the BitSkins webpage. Another tidbit of info I forgot to add, the user I referenced that had the exact same typos and everything (same format) was a person currently banned on backpack.tf,

    . One last note I'll like to make, is that I have to crop off my second monitor (which right now just outputs a picture of a cat) or else the image is just over 3 MB
    (Data block for other guy, in case you're wondering)

    Wait..how is this FRESH user involved with the accused?
    Are you just noting another user that messaged you that may be involved? What you show in the chat logs doesn't prove anything against this FRESH user.
    Also I'm asking for the info on the bot account - what is that?

    I'm not trying to accuse FRESH of anything, I just thought it was interesting that his messages were near identical to what Master Throne Crimson sent me. Anyways you can just ignore that if you want to. Continuing on, I'm still confused on exactly what you want from the bot, so far this is about as much as I've found

    Ok then I'm going to hide that users info since they weren't involved here and shouldn't be implicated.
    I need the info on the bot.. ID64.. SR profile block something. Screenshot was as requested now I need the info on the bot.

    Thanks, will review again soon - nothing else needed at this time and there is no need to post anything more.
    Feel free to review what you have provided and take the time to see what things you can do to prevent running into users like this in the future.
