2nd time in two weeks (scammers)
So random will add me as a friend with many hours in csgo and an old ish account making it seem legit but it is not. I accepted because i thought it must have been a player in game earlier.

They will send a message asking you to trade as they are doing a youtube case opening and need cases. They then open a trade with you. Cancel it AFTER you report them because once you cancel the trade the block you and you wont be able to report them.

They said this exactly

"Hey, would you be up for trading cases with me? I'm planning to open them on my YouTube channel and would love to exchange weapons with you."

I received the exact same message from another account last week too.

Its a scam when multiple account add you for no reason and them try to trade with you saying the exact same thing as before. lol cmon man

Its not worth the rest and if it wasn't a scam or trying to take advantage of you in some way why are the messages identical and why add randoms and then why block me after i cancelled it ?

hmm you sound like you are one of them, probably monitoring the forums for people reporting scams. I saw you comment in other scam posts too denying what they are saying.

Very strange if you ask me.

trades are NOT there for randoms to send people trade requests trying to take advantage of children or people that do not know better.

How do I sound like a beggar? Im not asking for anything.

You seem to have me confused with someone else as I was NOT denying what the other person said.

So what did you report the people for anyways? begging =/= scamming btw.

It's not exactly a scam, more abusing peolpe who don't know the value of items. I got one of these messages exactly from someone, the trade deal was real, it was just real ♥♥♥♥. 20$ of crates for 50 cents of skins.
Gon Freecss Aug 10, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
yh still bad, trying to take advantage of children and less informed people. Its sly and fits my definition of a scam.

They basically put a bunch of skins worth nothing that have a huge description so you cant see the name of the guns, the guns are worth pennies and they ask you for cases worth 100x more than their penny guns

Literally everyone is using botted stolen account that you can buy on g2g for 20$... Hours, steam level, account age, etc... mean absolutely nothing.
