Scammer lurking around in TF2SS
« on: June 23, 2016, 01:52:19 PM »
Recently, it appears that some users were getting ripped off of their items and
have been told they were going to be paid back with more items once they
got their one dream item, but this is clearly a lie. A user named The Bread Cat
had asked for 4 refined just to get a Strange Market Gardener then a key.


He claimed he would also pay me back with 6 ref within a week, but never did and
blocked communications with me because he knows I was telling the truth.



Now I understand that it has been over a month since this whole thing happened and I should'nt
have done this trade, but he was already marked as a scammer when he tried to trade with me nearly a week ago. The Screenshot below is the only evidence that I can provide of the trade history.

Should you have evidence to support that there are people who got scammed, other screenshots, etc. this would help to ensure that the player truly did scam and will be punished for a longer duration.

As of right now, I have no more evidence but the screenshot I have posted. But I'm sure there are other users that may have had some issues with this user as well.

I had a run in with this individual yesterday.
He was being disruptive to the servers so I began to disrupt him.

9:08 PM - Death™: Can I help you?
9:08 PM - The Bread Cat: how
9:08 PM - The Bread Cat: u killed me
9:08 PM - The Bread Cat: thats amazing
9:08 PM - The Bread Cat: how?
9:08 PM - The Bread Cat: I wanna use the hack
9:09 PM - Death™: please dont be a retard
9:09 PM - The Bread Cat: but tell me
9:09 PM - The Bread Cat: how u did it
9:09 PM - The Bread Cat: I wanna kill others
9:10 PM - The Bread Cat: just tell me
9:10 PM - The Bread Cat: normal mode
9:10 PM - The Bread Cat: how
9:11 PM - The Bread Cat: pls
9:11 PM - The Bread Cat: I like your hack
9:11 PM - Death™: ok ok... seriously
9:11 PM - Death™: get some brains
9:11 PM - Death™: works wonders
9:11 PM - The Bread Cat: Ok
9:12 PM - The Bread Cat: done
9:12 PM - The Bread Cat: tell me how you do it
9:12 PM - The Bread Cat: how u get that hack
9:12 PM - The Bread Cat: please!
9:14 PM - The Bread Cat: tell me how
9:15 PM - The Bread Cat: pls
9:15 PM - The Bread Cat: I like your hack

Judging from my conversation with him I have no doubt he attempted to scam and would recommend banning on the spot if he comes on the servers again.

According to some of the users on my Discord server, 08C. According to Xerbap and Medv they've both been scammed by this individual. The screenshots will be posted below. However, these screenshots are only testimonials. The user may also have an alternate account.
