    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198391798771

    Victim profile: 76561198001461782

    What happened? Description:
    Hello, I am here because I do not know where to turn but to ask the community if I have been scammed. I am not certain of the definition of a scam but I am here to ask for a second opinion. My friends believe I been scammed so I decided to confront the person I traded with but of course, he denies it and I am a pushover so I am hoping someone can just make sure of my situation. It was a late night for me trying to sell off my white paint "An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge" for 2.55 keys while trying to buy some strange weapons. To keep things short I am asking Is a strange basic kill streak and strange sticky bomb launcher and a painted black "A Distinctive Lack of Hue" visual viewfinder fair trade for my An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge. I do not have the chat from within the trade server but I will try my best to post chats with him.
    Another reason why I believe he is suspicious is that his backpack tf profile link in his profile leads to an error page so searching his name with backpack tf added on the end finds another profile thats a banned trading account but it also could be someone else with the same name or just another profile of his if someone can help me figure that out.
    https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198166203739

    I do not have the chat logs of the previous trade but I do have the chat where I confront him after he asking for my second Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge and then after I say no then asks for a key plus 20 ref and green paint for a strange An Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge painted Flashdance footies, where then I confront him about my loose idea of him scamming me.

    If my report is wrong then I apologize for wasting your time and thank you for reviewing my report for some peace of mind for myself. I just want to know if I had been cheated I do need justice I just desire the truth or maybe I just don't want other players like myself to get fooled by this person again.

    If my report is denied I understand for lacking the requirements sad face.​

    Greem Sphere:
    Hello

    [11/19/2018, 11:50 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    I've looked around for Flashdance Footies
    and I found a Strange Flashdance Footies with White paint if you're intrested :)

    [11/19/2018, 11:50 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    but strange cosmetics are expensive arnt they?

    [11/19/2018, 11:51 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    Compared to the unique ones yeah
    but I can probably let you have it for a decent price

    [11/19/2018, 11:52 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    hmm how much?

    [11/19/2018, 11:52 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    I'll trade it for your white paint lol
    XD
    the Flashdance footies in strange quality is worth around 14.66 ref, so that would mean you're getting a strange cosmetic without paying

    [11/19/2018, 11:55 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    hmm sorry im planning on holding on to my last white paint
    but thanks for the offer

    [11/19/2018, 11:56 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    I could do for 1 key + 20 ref and Indub. green paint

    [11/19/2018, 11:57 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    say again I didnt understand that sentence sorry

    [11/19/2018, 11:58 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    strange flashdance footies painted white for 1 key, 20 ref + Indubtability Green paint

    [11/19/2018, 11:58 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    couldent i just buy a strange flashdance footies and paint it white my self?
    i mean i got enough ref for it

    [11/19/2018, 11:59 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    I mean, you could

    [11/19/2018, 11:59 PM]
    Greem Sphere:
    should i go do that

    [11/19/2018, 11:59 PM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    As I said I can trade a white painted flashdance footies strange for your white paint
    by which you doing so you will get a strange flashdance footies without paying..

    Greem Sphere:
    marco i know the truth man my friend told me

    [11/20/2018, 12:00 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    Yes?
    Truth of what?

    [11/20/2018, 12:00 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    of our last trade

    [11/20/2018, 12:01 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    I counted black painted viewfinder as 1.2 keys
    and killstreak strange grenade for 1.2 keys too

    [11/20/2018, 12:01 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    so if i were to sell these items back to you would you pay that price?

    [11/20/2018, 12:01 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    If you buy black paint, or killstreak grenade launcher kit individually they will cost you 2.4 keys and 2 keys respectively
    I do not have the needs of having a black virtual viewfinder and killstreak grenade launcher, so I would reply with the answer No

    [11/20/2018, 12:02 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    i thought so

    [11/20/2018, 12:02 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    You requested the items and I merely found them out for you for fair price
    I don't know what your friend told you about the last trade but
    about the #1 crates i'm sorry lol I thought you were being cool and all
    but besides that, I did not rip you off at all

    [11/20/2018, 12:04 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    idk where you find your prices but my friend introduced me to tf2 backpack
    and the items i traded for arnt worth that much

    [11/20/2018, 12:05 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    idk how you come up with the logic of seeing their prices
    let's say you were about to buy a after eight paint for 1.2 keys that day
    but I got you a black painted, virtual viewfinder the hat itself for 1.2 keys
    if you buy a black paint or after eight off the store it will cost you five bucks

    [11/20/2018, 12:05 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    thats why we trade

    [11/20/2018, 12:05 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    Painted item prices are always lowered on backpack.tf because it's impossible to sell at full price
    If the price was hat+paint full price, then the virtual viewfinder will cost you 2.4 keys man
    but you still think it's a bad deal and I ripped you off?
    Just think with simple logic lol.

    [11/20/2018, 12:06 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    its just hard to take your word for it then rather then my friends

    [11/20/2018, 12:07 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    yeah man whatever
    I'm not mad or anything lol
    it's just, logicless

    [11/20/2018, 12:08 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    Well I did some logicless things dont u agree?

    [11/20/2018, 12:08 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    By giving the #1 crates out of good intention, I guess so lol
    I'm sorry for having the crates man
    but besides that I gave you a great deal
    You can see your backpack on bp.tf and may think that viewfinder is worth only 21.91 ref
    but if you buy the black paint and paint it yourself, just like you said earlier
    will cost you 2.5 keys
    it's basic mathematics

    [11/20/2018, 12:09 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    but theres already existing ones that people might not want

    [11/20/2018, 12:09 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    yes and that's why I got you one for 1.2 keys
    ???????????
    You think I bought the viewfinder and painted it myself
    and sell you cheaper?

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    would u recommend that i just paint my flashdance footies that i have on me white?
    lol no

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    No that would be stupid because

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    u found it

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    You can just sell the white paint and maybe buy a white painted one
    lol

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    from someone who sold it

    [11/20/2018, 12:10 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    btw if you still want to sell the killstreak grenade launcher i will buy it, for 1.2 keys

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    im sorry marco if im stressing u out

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    nah man you think I ripped you off

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    im not a confrontaional kind of guy

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    i'm just saying that I didn't

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    well i cant help it my friends think that i did

    [11/20/2018, 12:11 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    and on the flashdance footies i'm trying to give you a better deal
    yeah well can't help if you don't have your own thoughts man
    sorry

    [11/20/2018, 12:12 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    true

    [11/20/2018, 12:12 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    i won't do the flashdance footies trade

    [11/20/2018, 12:12 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    can i do a counter offer?

    [11/20/2018, 12:12 AM]
    marco | thy god Tradeit.gg (scammer):
    Yeah sure, go ahead

    [11/20/2018, 12:15 AM]
    Greem Sphere:
    can i trade my strange killstreak grenade launcher and strange sticky bomb launcher for a liquid asset sticky bomb launcher minimal wear would that be fair

    [11/20/2018, 12:15 AM]

    Please don't submit reports here asking value questions - SR does not get involved with Value/pricing disagreements.
    Making a report here is rather serious towards anyone. You would be rather unhappy if someone did the same thing to you!
    If you don't like the trade then don't do it.
