Detailed Explanation / Screenshots / Demos:
Half an hour ago, when I was on this server, this player, going by the name 'people's poop', (which he has since changed), made a trade with Pita Griffin (76561198828939057). He offered him a festive strange sniper rifle as part of a deal for an unusual, but it turned out to actually be a festivized strange one, worth much less. Pita was unable to view his trade history for some reason, so he linked me his backpack.tf profile and I followed it to the previous owner of the festivized strange. This was necessary because he left the server immediately after performing the scam.

The scammer cheated a player out of an 8 key unusual on an official skial trade server. The victim is sending a report as well, but I want mine to stand as an eyewitness testimony.

Screenshots of the trade history...etc.

We're going to need the following:
  • Chat confirming the agreement (uncropped)
  • Your trade history from the day the scammed happened to present (uncropped)
  • Proof he's taken off (try to add him, screenshot the message it shows; uncropped)

Is there a way to access the chat window of past trades, or would evidence have to have gathered in the moment? Also, on the accused scammer's backpack.tf, if you look at his history, you can see that, besides unusuals, the only expensive item he keeps is a Strange Festive Sniper Rifle with the name "My Strange Festive Sniper Rifle :D". He has been on at least one other server, and the scam involved this rifle as well. His inventory shows that his main activity has been purchasing strange sniper rifles, festivizers, and name tags, and he has been naming the strange sniper rifles "My Strange Festive Sniper Rifle :D" and festivizing them. These stranges are then traded to the people who trade him unusual hats, which he quicksells to bots.

(Do I need to post 2 threads or just 2 comments in order to be allowed to post images to this website? I'll post whatever I need so I can link to the backpack.tf again. I have taken screenshots of the backpack.tf page as well, if those are important enough.)
