The fact that this guy http://steamcommunity.com/id/Controlliais impersonating http://steamcommunity.com/id/kontrollita/ is pretty amazing and the fact that I fell for the scam is just, I don't know... Later I check out his steam rep and guess I found out that he was marked a scammer (what a surprise) Now I pretty much lost all my bp to that guy and I was saving my bp for college so rip me I guess.
So how can I get this cancerous steam profile banned before he attempts to scam other people and I just want to say this before I end this post if your going to do a cash trade with other people:
- ALWAYS Check their Steam Rep before doing any trading to see if the person is genuine of not
- IF they have some bullshit about their rep on their steam profile wall, COPY AND PASTE their Steam profile URL onto Steam Rep, don't bother clicking on anything they post on their wall as people can lie and post fake info on their wall just like the guy that scammed me
- IF they are talking about buying keys for you, make sure the keys ARE IN THEIR INVENTORY and then send the trade offer.
- DONT DO THE TRADE IF YOUR FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT IT OR UNSURE, always ask some experienced trader for the tips
- AND lastly, DONT TRUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET NO MATTER HOW NICE THEY SEEM. Trust me on this one, no one is safe (this isn't to scare you or anything but there are some nice people around)
Welp lastly here's the full conversation log for anyone that actually cares:
And I just want to say, you'll probably see these tips numerous times already but trust me, just follow them and you'll be fine, you do not want to learn it the hard way and get in the situation I was in.
That's all, thanks for your time and patience for reading this post.
Have a good one.
