2OG B>Quicksell: i added you for a trade ?
2OG B>Quicksell: im looking tio your unusual ?
Forgoten Null: Which one
2OG B>Quicksell: your 2 unusuals for my 50 pure keys
2OG B>Quicksell: is that okay for you ?
2OG B>Quicksell: are you there ?
Forgoten Null: Yea, just looking at some things in my backpack
Forgoten Null: But, sure, that seems fair
2OG B>Quicksell: okay im about to send you my offer now
Forgoten Null: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTyN-vvFIkE
2OG B>Quicksell: whats that \?
2OG B>Quicksell: but before i  confirm this on my mobile may i know where did you get your unusual ?
Forgoten Null: You said unusual (singular) again, I thought you wanted my unusuals (plural)?
Forgoten Null: As in both of them
2OG B>Quicksell: hmmm this time i need my guarantee if im safe to your 2 unusuals
2OG B>Quicksell: BTW.you know opskins or used it before ?.\
Forgoten Null: No, I'm not familiar, that being said why do you need to check my unusuals?
2OG B>Quicksell: let me explain
2OG B>Quicksell: opskins is a very trusted site and relayable site that never accepted bugged items or hacked items nor stolen unusual for the sake of all items on the opskins site.
2OG B>Quicksell: cause im currently buying and reselling items on opskins so i just want to confirm that your unusual are 100% marketable on opskins okay?...
2OG B>Quicksell: cuase some items is not available on opskins or sellable there so thats why i need to double check and once i saw your unusuals on the listing items on opskins then we can do a trade on steam
2OG B>Quicksell: and we dont need to sell your unusuals there were trying to list it or post it there only
2OG B>Quicksell: so can we check it first ?
Forgoten Null: Well, one of them I unboxed myself, so I'm assuming that doesn't need to be checked
Forgoten Null: Unless you don't trust me
2OG B>Quicksell: bro im not saying that your unusuals is bugged my pont here is i need to double check Because last time i traded with a 21 unusauls which is not marketable on opskins that means can't be sold over there and that got me fucked up
2OG B>Quicksell: i hope you understand :(
Forgoten Null: Fair enough
Call from 2OG B>Quicksell started.
2OG B>Quicksell: okay answer my call
2OG B>Quicksell: let me guide you on opskins
Forgoten Null: Whoa whoa whoa

2OG B>Quicksell: just hear my voice so that we were not getting complicated on opskins

2OG B>Quicksell: tell me if its all done ?
Forgoten Null: I can't install the program that's required onto my phone, it isn't compatiable
Forgoten Null: Maybe it works without it? I have no clue
2OG B>Quicksell: okay listen let me put your trade offer link on opskins so that they will be authomatically listed your unusuals there and just wait for the offer from opskins
2OG B>Quicksell: okay ?
Forgoten Null: I'm guessing you want my trade link then?
2OG B>Quicksell: i have already your tradelink so i can put it on opskins
2OG B>Quicksell: wait a min
2OG B>Quicksell: okay im done
2OG B>Quicksell: check your steam
2OG B>Quicksell: check if you got 1 offer from opskins
Forgoten Null: So I have a couple of questions here.
2OG B>Quicksell: so you got one ?
2OG B>Quicksell: let me explain
Forgoten Null: While I was checking my stuff ealier I noticed that there were active trade listings for a Miami Nights Furious Fukaamigasa avalible for 18 keys and 19 keys respectivley
Forgoten Null: I also noticed that there is a trade listing for 23 keys as well
Forgoten Null: For my Disco Beat Down Tartan Spartan
2OG B>Quicksell: you only need to respond that offer so that your unusuals will be listedo n ospkkisn
Forgoten Null: Why are you trying to buy from me for 50 keys when other people are offering them via the community for less
2OG B>Quicksell: then once i saw it there then i will invite you to trade
2OG B>Quicksell: listeb
2OG B>Quicksell: listne
Forgoten Null: I wll listeb
2OG B>Quicksell: your not trading it on the bot or giving it thats a listing items offer only so you need to respond that offer so that your unusuals will be listed on opskimns
2OG B>Quicksell: and dont worry
2OG B>Quicksell: thats a listing items offer only
Forgoten Null: I'm not worried about that
2OG B>Quicksell: you can always withdraw it and i will guide you ho
2OG B>Quicksell: oh you want to test the bot ?
Forgoten Null: I'm asking why you're contacting me about this and offering me 50 keys when there are other sources that will give them to you for 41 keys
2OG B>Quicksell: bro dont worry im here to guide you how to withraw it
Forgoten Null: You're pretty much just screwing yourself over
2OG B>Quicksell: bro as i told you im a collector of unusuals so thats why in the mean time i overpayyou
2OG B>Quicksell: and before i send you my 50 keys
2OG B>Quicksell: i want to see if your unusuals is available on opskinjs
Forgoten Null: Would you like me to contact the people who have those cheaper listings up and put you into contact with them instead? It would save you keys. As a collector I would think that you would apprecaite a bargian

Forgoten Null: But why are you overplaying me
2OG B>Quicksell: so thats why i need you to respond that offer so that i can seee your unusuals on ospkins
Forgoten Null: Also, why does the trade offer say "Other members of the Steam Community have reported [OPSKINS] Bot #0065 for attempting trade scams. Proceed with caution, and remember you will only receive the items shown in the trade window. Steam Wallet funds and CD Keys cannot be traded."
2OG B>Quicksell: then once i saw thn we can do a trade on team

2OG B>Quicksell: what /
2OG B>Quicksell: ?
Forgoten Null: Why are you impersonating this user? http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198086948995
2OG B>Quicksell: let me explain again
Forgoten Null: No no no
Forgoten Null: listben
2OG B>Quicksell: thats my main acc
Forgoten Null: Why do you have two accounts with the same name?
2OG B>Quicksell: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=126683267&token=n2WkM
2OG B>Quicksell: send me offer on my main acc
2OG B>Quicksell: put my 50 keys mine only dont put yours
Forgoten Null: Alright, hold on then
2OG B>Quicksell: and before i confirming your offer on my mobile i want you to respond the offer first so that i can see your unusuals on opskins okay ?
2OG B>Quicksell: but as i told you before i let go my 50 pure keys for you i just want to see your unusuals first on the listing items area so you need to respond that offer so that i can see it on opskins
2OG B>Quicksell: and once i saw it then i will confirm this on my mobile
Forgoten Null: "This Trade URL is no longer valid for sending a trade offer to 2OG B>Quicksell.
Forgoten Null: Can you friend me on your main account so that I can trade you easier then?
2OG B>Quicksell: sec
2OG B>Quicksell: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=126683267&token=n2WkMG0Y
2OG B>Quicksell: okay send offer now
2OG B>Quicksell: i have already your trade link so i can send you my offer right away but once we done here first on opskins
Forgoten Null: Hold up for a second
2OG B>Quicksell: okay and confirm it on your mobile as a confirmation for that offer
Forgoten Null: You said that http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198086948995 is your main account
Forgoten Null: Is that correct?
2OG B>Quicksell: yes
Forgoten Null: And you said that the above trade link is for your main account?
2OG B>Quicksell: yes did you send me an offer already ?
Forgoten Null: So if both of those statments are true, then why does the trade link you gave me open a trade with http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198095740067
Forgoten Null: You can see by the URL that these are not the same accounts
2OG B>Quicksell: lol what do you think my main acc and this acc is the same trade link ?
Forgoten Null: You're asking me what I think?
2OG B>Quicksell: what ?
2OG B>Quicksell: bro respond that offer now
2OG B>Quicksell: so that we can end this now
2OG B>Quicksell: your making this complicated
Forgoten Null: I think you're starting to realize that you're wasting your time with someone who is a lot smarter than you. I think you're realizing that I checked your profile before I even accepted your friend request. I think you're realizing that I only accepted it to see if you would actually try to scam me, like every other user who's dealt with you said that you would. I think you're realizing that you're going to have to find a better mark and that I've pretty much just been wasting your time gathering proof that you are beyond a shadow of a doubt trying to scam me out of my unusuals via the "man in the middle: method.
Forgoten Null: I had you at the word go
2OG B>Quicksell is now Offline.
2OG B>Quicksell is currently offline, they will receive your message the next time they log in.
Forgoten Null: And that's how it's done folks
Forgoten Null: Allow me to paste a few links into this little chat before I shunt it onto pastebin
Forgoten Null: For the uninitiated, this is what a trade scam looks like.
Forgoten Null: You'll notice that I never actually called the guy out for it until I got him to blatantly contradict himself by saying that he was offering to trade on his main account, an account that he's impersonating and that he has no access too.
Forgoten Null: As always I would like to thank Enhanced Steam for making this all that much easier, a simple google search will help you find it and it's avalible as an extention for the common browsers
Forgoten Null: Other than that, the links I promised
Forgoten Null: Have a nice day!

Forgoten Null: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198095740067
Forgoten Null: These links are for the account you see speaking to me here
Forgoten Null: The following links are for the account that he tried to trade with me for the verification earlier
Forgoten Null: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198252322554

Forgoten Null: https://backpack.tf/profiles/76561198252322554
Forgoten Null: You'll also notice that the links I'm using are the permanant links for the accounts in question
Forgoten Null: You can change the link to your account by giving it a vanity URL
Forgoten Null: But the permanant link never changes, so these links work no matter what they try to change it to
Forgoten Null: The following is an imgur link that shows off them trying to get me to trade both of my unusuals for nothing.
Forgoten Null: The rest is trivial, and as such I will leave it as an exercise for the reader
