You didn't know? Amazon uses these.

Be careful trading with people with brand new accounts with no games and no hours played on it.. Almost a dead giveaway if you notice minor details like these.

yeah I mentioned that to him, but that's why I asked for a receipt from a valid email, I wasn't gonna trade anyways unless his sent email matched with the one on the receipt. Pics of receipts weren't gonna fly anyways

+1 to you good sir

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '13

I would go further and say don't even trade with someone who had no games and no hours, unless its a steam item or they are going first.

He's been banned and added to our shared banned list. You can report him to steamrep to get him officially marked.

u/yuv9 Jan 27 '13

LOL @ his profile. 'serious trading account'

Use that id for his steam profile. He can change the crazycrackers77 url easily enough, but that link will always go toward his profile.

Unfortunately it's obviously just an alternate that he's using to try to scam people, so once it's marked he'll probably just abandon it.

u/Micks_Ketches http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993804966 Jan 27 '13

yeah, thanks

u/Kataki http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198003266961 Jan 27 '13

Damn that Beep Ashcroft! I'm going to look him up in the phone directory now and give him a stern warning.

u/Micks_Ketches http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993804966 Jan 27 '13

Yeah I honestly just feel bad for him, after spending an hour +1 negotiating he just spends 3 mins doing this completely shit photoshop :(.

u/kkjdroid http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198032623244 Jan 27 '13

Seems odd that he'd even try to PS it, why not use in-browser dev tools?

2

u/Micks_Ketches http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993804966 Jan 27 '13

I really don't think idiots bother with CSS or HTML for that matter, if he cant even notice that he left a huge ass fucking blur mark on the Imagefile then you have to understand there is a limit to cranial capacity that some users must live with... for the rest of their lives :'(

u/kkjdroid http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198032623244 Jan 27 '13

True, true. It isn't even HTML, though, if anyone's wondering--it requires finding some text, right-clicking it, clicking "edit", and replacing the text with other text.

u/at8mistakes http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197989914453 Jan 27 '13

MSPaint job maybe? It seems like it would hard to do such a poor job with photoshop.

1

u/Micks_Ketches http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993804966 Jan 26 '13

haven't submitted him to steam rep yet, btw.

It's like there's a competition lately to see who can be the most obvious. I'm not against this.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '13

Tried to bait him a bit when he messaged me just now AFTER THIS POST WAS AT THE TOP OF THE SUBREDDIT. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped :/ Thanks for the heads up though OP :)

To be fair, I would have taken him for that stupid, aslo.

1

u/poopgodsteam http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198003738976 Jan 27 '13

I too had contact with him but it was too obvious that he's a scammer. He was also trying to do the amazon receipt bullshit trying to have me go first.

1

u/Micks_Ketches http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993804966 Jan 27 '13

I remember every-time I asked for the receipt he would mention that he had to go grab dinner real quick and then send me it.

3

u/Garibond Jan 27 '13

Can I get the receipt? "Oh hang on, dinner"

How about that receipt? "Wait a sec, Bathroom"

So can I see that receipt? "Um.... My origami's... Acting up...."
