What happened? Description:

There is currently a glitch going around where people are uploading animated decals to the Steam servers as images on the Conscientious Objector. I was looking to get an animated image on a sign that is my profile picture's origin. I've been struggling to find anyone to do it for a good price, and I found La Grenouillere. He was very nice in DMs, and I trusted him because he seemed like he was recently taught how to perform the glitch. He offered to make a sign for 5 keys, which is what I paid.

As soon as I received my Objector the decal that was in his inventory from yesterday was still applied, and he assured me it would take a few games for it to appear. This was fishy from the start but I had already fallen for it, so I joined his game, only for him to laugh taunt me, say the sign that has been traced to him was NOT the one he traded me, and proceeded to call me a pedophile.

I'm overall not too mad about losing 5 keys, but this is scummy behavior. Thanks for your time.
