Can we just ban NSH2N and be done with this? Please? Before I blow a fuse over the incompetence of the team I was just on in TF2?

Something interesting I just noticed about Noob, actually. It looks like he's actually working with a ragtag network of scammers from the same site that hacked the Steam forums a few days ago.

I just posted another thread about this here. VERY short version of the event is that somebody managed to somehow steal thousands of Genuine Purity Fists, and has flooded the market with them, and now there's a very good chance that Valve will delete every single one of them (all trades are very easy to trace).

I decided to pull up Noob's backpack in TF2Items. Since Noob's backpack is private, TF2Items only has a cached version of the backpack from before he switched to private.

Take a look here. Looks like he's actually got a TON of GPFs in his backpack. This was the last known status of his backpack before he decided to go into hiding by turning his profile private.

Also look at his previous Steam aliases:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198004487686/namehistory
(EDIT: It looks like he's changed his alias so many times since posting this that the names I wanted to draw attention to have been pushed off the list. He had changed his name to several variations of "Selling G Fists 2.00", which is what I wanted to point out.)

Looks like on Nov 15 (important date, I'll tell you why later), he was pretty desperate to get rid of these GPFs, since he changed his Steam alias to say that he was selling them.

Now, how do I know these GPFs are stolen? Click on any of the GPFs in his inventory on the TF2Items page. It shows the original owners of the item, and shows the full trade history. They all came from people who have been confirmed as stealing/distributing GPFs.

From the Facepunch thread exposing the whole scandal:

NoMaD [Y|U|VIEW|MY|BP] -- known scammer, currently on JSW's friends list.
SteamRep -- http://www.steamrep.com/index.php?id=76561198024995821
BP full of GFPs -- http://www.tf2items.com/id/lele0108?time=1321135769

ProwL -- number of scammer friends, likely recruited by NoMaD, whose on his list.
SteamRep -- http://steamrep.com/index.php?id=prowlx
BP full of GFPs -- http://www.tf2items.com/id/prowlx?time=1321336810

Squirrel -- likely recruited by NoMaD, whose on his list.
SteamRep -- http://steamrep.com/index.php?id=ymerej135
BP full of GFPs -- http://www.tf2items.com/id/ymerej135?time=1321232911

Sir Icy -- Newer Acct, simple name, NoMaD on friends list.
SteamRep -- http://steamrep.com/index.php?id=icycube123
BP full of GFPs -- http://www.tf2items.com/id/icycube123?time=1321115557

Freez1e -- Established Trader, seems likely innocent / scammed -- as they traded buds for bulk GPF -- BUT, friends with NoMaD
SteamRep -- http://steamrep.com/index.php?id=freez1e
BP full of GPFs -- http://www.tf2items.com/id/freez1e?time=1320984274 -- follow the history back to see the buds traded out.

Let's also take into consideration the fact that all of this first started happening on Friday. Noob's backpack went private just a few days after that - on November 15, the day he got all of these stolen GPFs. Why would he go private immediately after receiving a ton of stolen items? Cause he knows damn well that they're stolen, and wants to try to hide the fact. However, Steam's API allows us to track his items a lot more than he seems to think.

So this means that our good friend, Noob, is working with a ring of known scammers. This, on top of his already shady trading methods (asking 2.66 for keys) only further proves the fact that Noob is deliberately trying to scam and rip people off.

So, I guess this is my official request to the Skial moderators/admins to kindly ban Noob from this community. I would also suggest leaving him a mark on his SteamRep, since we can easily see that he's trying to scam people with stolen items.

Also, Noob sold all of his GPFs to TF2Warehouse already. What a piece of shit.

You don't wanna step on my toes son

I believe that's my line, motherfucker.

Risen, nice Paint skills. You should've used different font though :D
Again, I had to re-install everything on my computer. Paint was the next thing I had in my disposal.
Anyways, I checked Noob's cached backpack. I thought you can only get ONE genuine item quality from pre-ordering games, not 15.
He also seems to have a lot of stranges, and probably most of his metal is from people he ripped-off
Funny how he doesn't respond in this thread anymore.

You only get one set of genuine items from preordering, but PAX (Penny-Arcade Expo) was giving out free promo codes to people who attended the convention that would let you redeem a free GPF, without need for a preorder. Either a stack of those codes was stolen (I believe they were handed out on little cards), or somebody cracked the algorithm that was used to generate those codes, and started producing their own codes.

Either way, judging from Noob's mass collection of GPFs, and the fact that they all originate from confirmed scammers involved in this scheme, it's pretty obvious what Noob's intentions here are.

Xel, you have impressed me.

I henceforth dub Xel'Naga the Batman of Skial.

You can put that in your sig for being a badass detective and fucking reversing some whining scamtard's accusations.

Wow, Xel'Naga, you barely joined and already cracked down on a scam ring. I'm impressed. Remind me to give you a free virtual hat whenever you join our servers.
