This person sent me a friend request inquiring about my hat, he checked out for the first glance, SR clean, 15 pages of rep. His sop rep thread had a lot of recent trades, and that's why his 0 hours recent playtime was a bit suspicious, it took me a good couple of seconds to notice the error in his scheme: in his rep thread sourceop is spelled with 2 rs: sourrceop. I made a screenshot about the chat window and his Steam community profile with the dodgy link shown, also about the website (url on top, also as I tried to hover my mouse over the page select links the misspelt url is shown on the bottom). He is not (yet) tagged on SteamRep.

This isn't a skial scam, report him to steam rep. I don't think we can really tag him if it isn't skial related.

Isn't that what we are suppose ? I am still clueless on this whole tagging and stuff

 

[Rvsz]

Did a search on his SteamID, looks like someone did get scammed by him: http://forums.steamrep.com/threads/76561198016249549-youwishyouwas.11770/

Posting a link to this thread there too.

This person likely never visited a Skial server. The only people who can do anything about this is Valve.

Yeah. We're only going to put scammer tags on somebody if they've actually done something on our servers/forums.

Though, you could also post reports on SteamRep on those accounts, too. SR's more open to applying tags from events that happened on other sites.

What Zeebs said. Couldn't find a record of this guy hitting our servers at all. Don't see him on the forums, either.


EDIT: LOLOLOLOL

I'm going to mark this 'need evidence' until we have something from a Skial server. For now, the best we can do is post on SteamRep.

Guy's marked on SteamRep now for some of his other scams. May as well mark this "Resolved" now.
