    Hello people,

    I wasn't really sure where to post it, but I thought it would be a good idea to provide a warning anyway. This user, abdi.winkelmolen79, is a scammer! Today a chargeback case was opened against me, by this person. They bought GTAV as a Steam gift through eBay, they redeemed it, and now they opened a case through PayPal to try and get their money back, all £50. I've noticed the user is already trade banned on Steam, and this makes me wonder if that's the reason why they didn't just buy the item through Steam. I wouldn't be surprised however, if this user has more than one account. I am warning you, beware. Thanks for reading.

    1. Giving us just their name is useless, they can change their name in less than 10 seconds. In addition, there may be multiple people with similar names.

    2. Why do you need to warn us if they are trade banned?

    3. Make a report instead of cluttering the General Dicussion section:

    To be fair, if he copied the HTTPS link to his profile SteamRep often fails to search on that link.

    He could've copied it off the end of the https link, after having put the link into steamrep and seeing it fail.

    The https issue has caused many people to think SR is down. To you or me or anyone who uses SR a lot it's obvious what the issue is, but to a newer trader that error is where they stop searching.

    To be fair, I've never had that issue a single time, since day one.

    To be fair, you only encounter that if you "copy" the url from a browser, not from steam.... In Steam the URL is not using the HTTPS, but HTTP. In a browser, it will use the HTTPS.

    As I use a SR internal browser plugin (Firefox) that adds some to a Steam profile when I view it in the browser, I have a button on it to get me directly to the SR profile of that account. I'll poke the admin that made it to see if he is still planning some changes in it, and if that plugin is going to be released for the public.....

    how that looks: http://files.steamrep.com/1/2015/09/2015-09-24_01-17-06.png

    Looks pretty sick. Hopefully he/she will make plans to release it!
