The one thing I realised when I almost got scammed for my entire inventory was that you shouldn't have any of the conversation on discord or at least have a written understanding on steam. You need the proof on steam to be able to do anything
@@SrikarMaddula When i got scammed i sent them everything, screenshots of the conversations, marketplace actions, the scammers steam etc. and they got back to me with a message saying that they can't do anything and that i should keep my passwords safe.
It makes you a murderer too, the right thing to do, is nothing, let the law do it's thing, the scammer getting scammed, same thing, just that this is a video game, pixels on a screen, I just hope the orignial owner go the money, or, the skin back.
@@handIe_THIS if you murder a murderer then that makes you a murderer so someone has the right to murder you, an eye for an eye would leave the whole world blind.
uhm as far as I know you aren't a scammer by Valve, since Valve tells you to not do real life money trades and that the skins are essentially worth nothing.
wow yt recommends me after i have done nearly the same but with a smaller buget. long story short one of my friends got scamed out of his gut knife freehand FT like a month ago and he sent me the guy who scammed him and after like 1 month of negotiation (sadly he sold the gut knife freehand by than) so i have scammed a gut knife lore off of him to give that back to my friend. i hope that scammer learned a lifetime lesson that how it feels to being scammed.
a lot of people back then thought cs go would die out soon anyway or a new cs will arrive. me myself sold a knife years ago which now is 600 and back then 200
The whole scammer and 3rd party issues would disappear once valve would introduce Banktransfer options to a ingame trade even with the standard fee. The community market is underdevelopled in my opinion.
@@DavideHu I don't know where you get that from. I am saying there should be a option when you trade to choose to pay with real money instead of trade skins for items/skins. Or make the community markt an option for listing your special skins with bittings and stuff. Basically move the 3rd party (also like reddit) to steam. Right now people are getting scamed because they don't have a trusted middle man and direct trades are risky. Steam would be a trusted middle man.
@@generalmisery But people don't want 10k steam wallet balance they want actual useable currency in the real world and steam would never ever allow you to withdraw wallet balance to real money.
i once scammed a scammer, and in the stupidest way - he listed a lot of my crap and a 200$ deagle for a lot of his crap, i just added his bayonet doppler knife (stolen btw) and got 1k profit, he somehow accepted not even looking through the trade.
Scammers man... im cool with whatever bad things go their way. Guy scammed me a few years back for a flip sapphire when i was only like 15. thankfully this guy will see justice, not many victims of this do.
@@sidedcolt6282 you'll get over it. It really sucks man I'm sorry. But in the end it taught me and I'm sure it'll teach you to be smarter and more thorough in the future, even outside of trading. But I'm sorry bro. I know your pain.
Best feeling to scam back a scammer :D I did it twice in my life first i got scammed then from another account i scammed back the guy. Second when my friend got scammed i scammed his knife back for him.
It's because it's directly giving the scammer the money, if they just don't buy it then the scammer won't make the money and it gave Prod the time to do this so I guess it worked.
You're directly rewarding the scammer. You're giving him money for stealing from people. All it does is make him feel incentivized to steal more skins from people if he makes cash off it.
Dont scam a scammer wtf is that kind of bullshit. I would be so happy if one of the scammers took their own life or torture them the scammers doesnt even deserve to live so its good that they got scammed back
i got scammed about a year ago. even with proof that my account was highjacked, ip showed and everything, valve is such trash. i had those items for so long and valve refused to give them back... if you get scammed in todays day in age.... you're screwed. the thief hardly ever get banned... like you need the whole community to report... bullshit. and all the ski9ns i used to have. rose in price so much.. rip.
It's cute that you think steam bans scammers. I got a classic vanilla scammed off of me a month after the cs20 case came out. Let steam know. Nothing happened
All skins are scam it is only a skin.. nothing else price are dumb... For skin to pay 10000 euros... for what? I can buy car flat etc. for that kind of money.
Why wouldn't you want people trying to scam skins back from scammers? If you steal a 20.000 dollar thing in real life you will go to prison or get shot!
That would be understandable if you get scammed by like an absolute moron scam but a majority of scams nowadays are api scams and kids who don't even know what their api is aren't gonna be able to do anything about it or know what's happening.
by the way, the scammed kid is getting paid the full amount once Prodigy sold the ak-47, just confirmed it with a friend

yea its annoying as fuck
we needed somebody like you, even tho im not playing csgo this content about skins is really interesting ngl
when he says its against steam to scam, when i got scammed my whole inventory they did fuck all. so from that i think its fine to scam its just scummy
The one thing I realised when I almost got scammed for my entire inventory was that you shouldn't have any of the conversation on discord or at least have a written understanding on steam. You need the proof on steam to be able to do anything
theyre less likely to ban if the proof isnt on steam, but they still might.

scamming a scammer is like murdering a murderer, if you do it for the right reasons its okay
How can you compare scamming with murdering lmao

Only a guy with a rep like Prodigy could make this happen. He have a Rep for buying expensive stuff.
Did Prodigy return the scammed skin afterwards?
Same question over here
Or at least pay him a cut of the original scammed price
ofc not

rip for the guys who got scammed
the reason prodigy chose to do it doesnt matter. selfless or for personal gain, he gave the money back to the kid at the end of the day, he did good.
Lesson of the day: What comes around goes around.
In most cases 2 wrongs dont make a right but I think this situation is justified

why dont people buy scammed skins? is it because it might look bad for them or something?
