    Scam Report

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

    Accused profile: 76561198835329880

    Victim profile: 76561198327810993

    What happened? Description:
    I went on a trade server and I got scammed with the classic "Festivized" instead of "Festive" Scam. The two look virtually the same, but I was too naive to check and lost some money. This person is also banned on backpack.tf and has -13 trust on backpack.tf.​

    Provide Evidence:

    @sepratist of trade.tf Please don't bump reports.
    Also please stop cropping/editing your screenshots - we need FULL screenshots here!
    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.
    Review this screenshot guide to help you:

    https://forums.steamrep.com/threads/screenshot-guide-requirements.157969/

    Keep in mind unless there is context behind this trade where the user states what was being traded in the trade offer or you have it in steam chat - provide that too otherwise this report is majorly lacking in evidence.

    @sepratist of trade.tf Ok those are fine but I don't see anywhere written where the user claims this is an item is something that it isn't.
    Do you have that written anywhere? I'm not concerned with what is written about how much an item is since SR doesn't get involved with value/pricing disputes.

    He gave me a FESTIVIZED item, which is worth severely less than a FESTIVE item. Also, he has -13 and is banned on bp.tf. He basically sharked me with a item switch, sold my unusual, and rebought the items to scam another user.

    They also consistently change their name to hide the fact that they were a scammer:

    I don't have access to the chat logs (as they were in a trade window and I was not aware that I was about to get scammed).

    Ok without that context - we are ending the report here - there is no way to tell if the user tried to deceive you in anyway.
    Regardless of value - SR doesn't get into the middle of such disagreements - or a sharking which SR doesn't investigate either then there is nothing else to be done here.
