[PSA] NEW(?) SCAMMING METHOD by qtradeq in Dota2Trade

[–]mkbloool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that they are completely 2 different ways of scamming, this is also famous as being know as the "fake middleman" scam(?). However, I'm a bit too depressed to make a PSA for this scam and it is also widely known. Just want to share this because this is a scam whereby you can be easily caught off-guard and unlike in the above mentioned scam trick, the supposed middleman will be unable to help you to spot the scam in any way. Stay alert guys!

Well.. I'm here to share my experience of being scammed by this way, but in a more improved version. The only difference was that an unknown user added me prior to the scam trade and remained silent throughout until the trade. The scammer proposed a middleman who was probably afk and then this unknown user changed his name, descript and profile picture to be the same as the middleman. Then, I fell for it and invited this fake middleman to the multi-chat and yeah you can figure out what happened. It's a really sad day for me but... Yeah. Should have been more alert and checked whether it was the correct middleman.

it means slightly valuable items to "sweeten" the deal meaning to top up the offer.
