Hey there. So a few weeks back I got a new AWP Man-o'-War. I swapped it for a field-tested AK Jaguar, then another one that had battle marks. Now the issue is here—I had a trade ready, my Vulcan was Factory New Stattrak USP-S Stainless, roughly the same price. I completed the trade, double-checked everything, and then it was processed. When it came up, I got a field-tested version instead, which is about $11 less than expected. I messed with Steam support, but they’re not really helpful, so I’m not sure what to do next. Any advice would be great, Matt.
It seems you're unsure about your options right now. Keep an eye on Steam Support, and remember the price is just $11...
He likely gave the weapon a new name like USP-S Stainless Factory instead of keeping it. Valve also mentioned they won’t issue refunds for lost guns if you fall victim to a scam, as it reduces the item’s worth in the market. Good luck, but stay vigilant.
Seems like you're getting ready to try something new. Good luck!
They won't take any action since you've agreed to the deal, and the individual changed the weapon in his stock from FN to FT without your knowledge.
The quick changes in items are a common trick. You need to hover over everything to confirm there’s no remove-readd from the action list. All CSGO traders are likely scammers, so try offline trade options next time to avoid switching. There’s no way for CSGO communities to control these users, so your chances are limited. Just submit a report on his profile and let them track his activities as he scams more people this way.
