    There are many scammers not tagged on SteamRep, but are banned on Outpost/backpack.tf. If someone trades with them unknowingly, would Fortress of Gamers issue a tag or a warning?

    If they arent tagged, i dont think so. Unless a report is written on them.

    Not true. Pending reports don't mean scammer, we ask people to take a look into them and think if they should trade or not but we can't pull a tag for that.

    We only Tag/warn people that trade with Marked scammers or obvious alts- if they are banned on OP or backpack is taken in consideration but we follow the SR guide lines to define an obvious scammer alt. However Imagine that you knew that those accounts were banned then you knowingly traded with a scammer alt.
    To conclude, we mark people that knowingly trade with marked scammer of obvious alts. We don't pull a verdict because a person is banned on OP or Backpack.
