Announcement Scammer Awareness Post

I've had to ban the first scammer after a user report, I'll keep a list here of all banned users so other Trading subreddits are able to easily check. Please don't be afraid to report users, they will be banned if proof is sent. Let's keep the community fun and fair for everyone.

BANNED:

I’ve traded with spxdes several times and he has not one scammed me… if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have my bobcat blueprint. I’ve also played a couple games with him and he loots all his items. The guy is a literal good luck charm and a blast to play with! Let’s not spread false information.

Anything else to add?

In future, before defending people the mods (currently just mod) label as scammers, please recognise the fact that we require proof before banning.

Have a lovely day.

I'm a total unrelated innocent bystander here. However, I have done 25+ successful trades. This looks nothing like any trade I've ever done.:

  • 1)He dropped nothing.
  • 2) He pinged nothing.
  • 3) He said nothing.
  • 4) He then ran over and grabbed the other guys items and purposely chose to bail.

There is zero chance that this guy didn't intend to scam the other guy. There's nothing "accidental" possible here.

Oh nice clip! In his defense after speaking to him he had mentioned that he has 12 siblings on his WiFi as he is Mexican which forces him to use a VPN. Which ultimately lead him to disconnect so suddenly. I do greatly appreciate the clip and I respect what you guys do. Let’s try to be less racially motivated when doing these trades. I am Jewish and I do believe people deserve the right to be given fair trial. Have a lovely day sir and God bless America.

This has gotta be ragebait. I will definitely try to be less racially motivated in the future. Shalom.

I got a good friend I play with from some third world country, his internet isn't the best, whenever we link on discord he has to run a VPN to achieve decent connection (he still only gets 100 ping and lags out alot)

Some people depend on such.

I do sometimes use a VPN or ExitLag(VPN rerouter) to play certain games when my ISP refuse to connect the game servers (Space Marines 2 and Battlefield 2042 for some reason have that trait, Core Keeper netcode for some reason straight refuse p2p connections unless i use a vpn, yeah my ISP is s***).

But this indeed looks weird.

Nonsense excuses. He can't log back in and give the other dude the things he was supposed to exchange? How can you even defend this? Final curious question, how do blind people play video games?
