VAC BANNED due to skin trading

[Richiscooked]

On 05/17/2024 I received a Black Nile AWP through a trade I did on "Skinsmonkey.com"...apparently that skin was reported as stolen by its original owner? I'm now currently banned due to the "Investigation of theft" because of this, as well as money laundering and some other accusation that was outrageous. If you purchase a vehicle in your local area...and that car happens to be stolen but you've genuinely got absolutely NO CLUE...should you go to prison for car theft? Am I at fault here? Maybe I'm coping but I figured I'd throw a post on here to see if someone else believes I'm at fault because I've genuinely done nothing wrong but am facing a VAC BAN as well as my inventory being stripped because of someone's incompetency with 3rd party trading...

yeah buddy, y'all need to take off your tin foil hat. I believe multimillion-dollar skin trading companies have more important business to do than rob you of your 30$ worth of skins lmaao

No tin foil necessary. It's been proven by users in the past who specifically tested these sites, and without fail, every one led to an account hijacking or other scam down the road. They continue to appear legitimate because they manage to sucker in gullible users to shill hard for their legitimacy.
