[PSA] Pattern/Asset/Index Scam

[aa ryn.]

There is currently a scam going around, I dont know how long it has been here but I have recently purchased a few pricey skins.
I got a friend request from somebody looking to "trade" today, he proceeded to ask me for the Pattern, Assert and Index of my skins. I asked him where to find it because I had never heard of such a thing and he provided me with a link to a website.
This is just a warning to some people who may not have encountered this situation before. I hope this helps.

you cant name and shame people here mate.

Next time someone ask you to check pattern, just go ingame, inspect your skin and direct mouse on the ! icon, there it show info like finish style, pattern template, float. No need to go anywhere else to check, because it is always scam.

I apologise for any shaming. I'll remove the link, I was simply asking if people could report the profile. But I realise I was in the wrong for doing so.

Yep, it is right. Since your inventory is not private, anyone can check your items directly from your inventory, including inspect them in-game.

You should add a [PSA] tag at the front of the title.

There's already a pinned thread sorta for it in the trading subforum, there's also multiple guides on most scam methods.
