reported to steam rep yet...

revised; relying on the blacklist system will always be 1 step behind.

scrap.tf is an affiliate of op

I'm pretty sure all automated sites have an automated Steamrep check built in, disp. Does so I would think scrap does too.

As above IP bans on the whole are a waste of time, cause false positives, turn into whack a scammer no doubt :/ nearly every ISP I've had in England has dynamic IP.

transfer the items into a f2p acc...

i have seen the pirate pic acc, sr marked and successfully scammed - he used the same text. its cost-free to access op with f2p acc / not signed in. ip ban didnt work for him, relying on sr is reactive. being preventative is to implement new measures on op.

you think people wont buy cheap stuff when they are approached, its just wishful thinking.

i need to stress, the most important thing is to eliminate their ways to find buyers.

warehouse has a trust tier system, what has scrap.tf got?

i meant ip ban all used addresses by scammers, and restricting f2p account functions. If ip pan works then restricing scammers f2p alts can be overlooked.

Instead of making small changes on op and preventing it on the big level, every potential trader needs to background check on their daily adds. There is a hole here, why isnt it plugged?

it is very naive to think everyone would do their part or everyone can avoid scams.

are the admins busy trying to setup a site like scrap.tf so scammers can liquidate their items
that no one can answer??

What is being done against scammers on op? i propose...

1. restricting f2p acc functions;
- only premium acc can add, f2p only leave messages
- not signed in acc cant access op
- f2p players cant post links
- the MOST important - mkae it hard to to find us to liquidate
- Increase their operation cost, with other methods

2. ip ban fails as mention on #8
- its suggested a system is being made to blacklist certain sites, but that is still 1 step behind

3. remove scrap.tf as an affiliate, currently it is easy for scammers to liquidate

4. promote scammers-free servers worldwide

5. anything that stops scammers to find traders on op and add people, STOP all the liquidations


Previous scribble:

I & many people get random adds all day, some of them are marked scammers who obviously used outpost to find us. Many cheap stuff come back this way!!

thats past. I was lazy 2 days ago, but your condition is permanent. Seek a surgeon earlier, the better for you.

i meant craft 40-60 or 35-70. Would 200 % be good for any of these, or even earlier ones?

On some normal (mid) early craft items, i like to ask 200% tf value, is that good?

You should get a consultant job, after a fine brain reconstruction.

At the moment you cant deal with numbers, let alone a range.
