Just got completely scammed. - Games

I'm pretty sure Valve added the advice: "Try not to get involved in trades requiring more than 1 trade. Scammers might not follow through on consecutive trades"

You traded 10 hats and crates and keys for a fucking unusual

Now that I have confirmed that it isn't 2004 and I'm not reading a at the time typical "I got scammed" thread on the old Ragnarok Online boards, if it seems like too good of a trade, it probably is. Also, by any chance did they claim it was "on another account"?

[QUOTE=Lukeo;25743673]I don't think you should report him, it was your fault you got scammed. Sure he's a dick but I don't think he deserves a VAC ban (unless that's changed now).[/QUOTE] Actually he'll loose his steamaccount and all the games on it, and he damn well deserves it.

[QUOTE=ventnor;25747345]Actually he'll loose his steamaccount and all the games on it, and he damn well deserves it.[/QUOTE] Yet aimbotters and wall hackers get a VAC ban and their accounts kept open. And can still play in the game they hacked in in VAC-less servers. I see nothing wrong here. Srsly, get your head out of your arse if you think the punishment is justified. I'm a Valve fanboy and I don't agree with their skewed punishment.

[I]Unusual hats are not worth that much.[/I]

OP it was a stupid move on your part, no need to get his account locked. That's more douchey than taking a few stupid items in a game. [editline]30th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=killz2much;25743972]Yet you fell for the oldest trick in the book. Don't EVER do the "2 separate trade" deal. It's usually a load of shit. [b]EDIT:[/b] This may be a little off topic but don't you guys think the Mann Co Economy was intended to be a little more like this (at least for hats)... - 2/3 Reclaimed for a hat. - Hat for a hat. - 2 Hats for Polycount Hat - 3 or 4 Hats for unusuals/limited promotional hats. instead of the ridiculous shit it is now?[/QUOTE] Hats don't have global values, the value in a hat is seen by the buyer/seller.

[QUOTE=Fivas;25743646]What's the big deal over unusual hats anyway? Wouldn't you rather have ten different hats than one hat with a little effect on it?[/QUOTE] It has a purdy purple name. You should already know how much people jizz over blue names? Purple is 10 or 20 times that.

[QUOTE=killz2much;25743851]People obsessing over unusual hats that they are willing to trade so much shit for one are retarded. Do you honestly want a glowing target on your head?[/QUOTE] He's probably related to Rong.

[QUOTE=Holy Vagineer;25748302]He's probably related to Rong.[/QUOTE] That doesn't make any sense. And a poor whack at Rong at that.

[QUOTE=killz2much;25753736]That doesn't make any sense. And a poor whack at Rong at that.[/QUOTE] I couldn't help but notice that scout avatar. You wouldn't happen to be Rong would you?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;25754067]I couldn't help but notice that scout avatar. You wouldn't happen to be Rong would you?[/QUOTE] No, I'm killz2much duhhhhhhhhh This is Rong. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/darthrong/[/url] I just use this avatar because it reminds me of 2008 when I took a picture of the Scout that had a gay look on his face.

After the scam warnings get put up, I think nobody should get disabled It's their fault that they gave their hats. Jesus christ what a retard you are.

If you're dumb enough to give up more shit than you can trade in a single session, then you deserve the result. Don't be a cry-baby because you lost fake hats and chock it up to experience.

[QUOTE=Lukeo;25743673]I don't think you should report him, it was your fault you got scammed. Sure he's a dick but I don't think he deserves a VAC ban (unless that's changed now).[/QUOTE]I would prefer a game full of fools over a game full of douchebags. At the very least, the fools aren't [i]intentionally[/i] ruining things for everyone else.

May the scammer be put to death. Along with your stupidity.

[QUOTE=Deliam Nossif;25743502]There was a guy who wanted to trade his unusual sunbeams tosslecap with me for like 10 hats, some crates, and 4 keys. I traded him the keys and some crates and lesser hats on the first one, and then he just took off. So yeah, it was an idiot mistake, but I was blinded by the sheer desire for the tosslecap. Does anyone know how to contact Valve to report this? Just to clarify some things, I verified that he had it while on the server. I didn't think he would risk getting banned when he had that on his account.[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.facepunch.com/image.php?u=271767&dateline=1267448022[/img]

You didn't get scammed, it was an entirely fair trade [editline]31st October 2010[/editline] You willingly gave him the hats and stuff, and I will rage at you if you get his account disabled, it's not his fault that you're a fucking idiot

[QUOTE=BirdBro;25743523]im the guy who scammed the OP Birdbro wins again [/QUOTE] I really hate this guy no the fact that he likes to troll everywhere.

Best thing he could do is scam someone into buying his steam account, which is being banned for scamming. Just giving the other guy some advice.
