What happened? Description:
Hello, I'm new to this forum. So this guy traded for a aussie amby and knife for his items worth 27 keys or less. So I tell him that he scammed that kid. Says he is gonna trade to another guy for profit. Shows me items in his inventory and gambles when I ask to trade, begs me not to report. So I thought he was also scammed and ask his for the guy he traded. Unfortunately the account is private and backpack.tf cant parse where the item is. Steam chat doesn't have a full log to show the conversation.

Possible scammer backpack: http://backpack.tf/p...561198117343861

Proof of items in scam:

History - backpack.tf

Possible scammer trade offer for those two aussies: http://i.imgur.com/ZGbov4v.png

Steam didn't have a full log of the chat, this is what I could get off it :

Didn't show me the trade offer, says that he traded to a guy with name mc.kappa but doesn't give any links.

Edit: He unfriended and kept his profile as private as soon as I posted the link​

I do not see how this is a quick-switch trade scam. If you are reporting him for sharking, we do not handle sharking reports at Fortress of Gamers. None of the evidence points that the accused was attempting to scam either.
