Scammer involving bitskins
So he used this way to scam people by telling you tht to bypass the 7 days cooldown he'll get yr steam trade link and change it to yr link on his bitskins account so the trade will go directly to you. He will request you to read his trade rules which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and it says you will need to offer the argreed skins to trade before he proceeds with the purchase of the skins on bitskins. He will also offer you expensive skins for yr 40% value skins. I'm really sad rn 😭 He scammed my m4a1-s hyper beast and some 2 dollar skins

If it seems too good to be true, it most likely a scam of some sort.

Consider this a lesson learned. Rules are in place to protect the user, and scammers rely on people's greed.

Your greed allowed this scammer to bilk you of your item.

Don't be gullible, don't be greedy.

And most of all:

NEVER trade off-steam for any steam item, ever. Period. NEVER trade FOR NOTHING, either. Promises are empty, as is the 'get item' section on that steam trade window. You sent it, for nothing.

If you got scammed by someone, it's because YOU thought "hey I can get around this restriction" or "hey I can make WAY more money than this other way" or "I want that NOW!"

It's on your end as much as the people who prey on you.

Also the big red flag among all the other big red flags:

YOU HAVE TO SEND THE ITEM FIRST.


See that right there is "you giving away your item, period, forever".

Trading for nothing is ALWAYS dumb. It's uniformly a scam. It's not a crime, it's just *dumb*. And it's absolutely on the user for being greedy and thinking they can get something for nothing - but only if you do x and y and z and...

Trade only on steam in the trade window, and only for items you can actually confirm exist, AND only to a profile that you are *positive* is your 'friend'.

The skins are *gone*.

GONE

He gave them away. They're gone. Steam does not return given-away or scammed items, ever. They used to and guess what? Scammers lied and tried exploiting it.

Learn the lesson move on. Report the Steam profile, don't trade off steam ever.

"That random stranger offers a way to bypass safety measures" can no way be shady, right?
How's that not clearly a scam?
