    Default NEW SCAM!!! ( i havent heard this one yet, almost got me ) BE AWARE!!

    so i got off work and was in cs checking sales and well
    i see someone spam buying "guardian hate helmet 200k!"
    i was in my head thinking really 200k?
    their usually 90k ish or so
    so i go in look in cs and well
    what do u know
    he was selling his hate helm for 110k
    ....
    so if u dont understand this scam
    well here is how he was tryin to get peeps
    he spams it then people look in cs and see wow hes buying for 200k and theres one in cs for 110k!
    let me buy that one an just sell him
    but if you didnt look who sold it, u wouldnt realize it was his
    pretty clever imo
    but not good enough
    ....
    just beaware of this alterra!
    stay safe !
    later!

    I'd hardly call this a new scam. It's been around for.. Well a long time already. Usually they're smart enough to sell it from an alt on cs.

    But yeah, good to point out for the newer players I guess


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    At least this guy was smart enough to use an item with some value, rather than putting a torch in cs for a mil and say you're buying it for 2....

    Isn't really a scam, more of a clever ruse. And ya it has been around for a long time.

    Good he was stupid enough to list the item under the same IGN. At least you're warned about these types of scams now
