Can't find, but I did find one of the guy's girlfriends.

If you can find a second one that would be more useful.

If I smash your car window while it's parked on your driveway and hotwire the car and drive away doesn't that make you an idiot for putting your car on your drive way?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes it does. You're stupid for not protecting your investment like parking it in your garage if you have one, living in a place where someone could actively go steal cars, not putting up any deterrents, not having a guard or guard dog, not having a fence, displaying your nice car in the driveway, being the easier target of your neighborhood, and not locking the steering wheel. It was your stupidity and nativity to think that it was safe in your driveway as is.

I think that is a very ignorant way of looking at it.

parking it in your garage -> Not everyone has one.
living in a place where someone could actively go steal cars -> How exactly does this matter ? Lets say - you live in a place where only one car was stolen and that car is yours.
not putting up any deterrents -> Like ?
not having a guard or guard dog -> The car doesn't cost much but you expect someone to invest in a guard / guard dog to protect it ? Even if the car doesn't cost much, A theft is a theft.
not having a fence -> Not every place can have a fence.
displaying your nice car in the driveway -> Doesn't have to be a nice card. A theft is a theft even if the car doesn't hold much value.
Almost all your statements assume that the car is valuable which need not be true.

Assuming you don't have money for any of those, why the heck do you have a luxery item. Let's say your car is worth $500, you wouldn't leave $500 unattended in your driveway even more so if you want to go to work the next day. Buy a $15 fake camera, the theives won't know they're fake. Get a $40 steering wheel lock, they won't get far if the can't turn the car. Install motion sensor flood lights, don't know how much they cost or how you would go about doing that but suddenly being in the light will scare off would be theifs. Heck, if you got time, you could take off a tire and leave it on a jack for the night but get tire locks too because rims and tires are expensive and they are maybe $50. Also cars may look crappy but could have work done like my friend's honda which does 1/4 mile in 10 sec. So apperances are deceiving because that car is stripped down but had $30k invested into it. Also, I'll feel a lot safer in a suburb than in the ghetto.

Your point is - "If someone doesn't do at least one of these things, he is stupid" ?
Buy a $15 fake camera, the theives won't know they're fake - You do realize that your assumption is called a Best Case Scenario ?
A scammer takes advantage of stupidity. Plain and Simple.
A thief can take advantage of a person's stupidity, his/her negligence, loop hole he was not aware of.

Yeah, exactly. You don't have to be smart to not get scammed, same thing with stealing. Sometimes the world will just seem to be out for you. I remember a case a while ago where a reputable trader made an impersonation account of his trading account just to scam someone. Heck my friend's brother got his newly bought used car stolen. Appearantly someone heard the sound of the engine, thought it sounded nice, and came to steal it. They came at the dead of night, put it up a jack, and pushed it down the road to a tow truck.
Anyways back to the start of this, I find that scamming and stealing is the similar but different, kind of like how square are rectangles but rectangles aren't squares. If anything I would classify scamming as a type or theif because its more specific.

You don't have to be smart to not get scammed,
You do! Are you trying to say that even smart people can get scammed ?
Is scamming = stealing ? I don't know, I can neither agree not disagree with it.
The main difference between scamming and stealing would be that in scamming, a person willingly gives away his possession whereas in stealing, the possessions are taken from him without his knowledge. If a stranger comes up to you and says "Give me your car keys, I'll wash your car and return it to you", will you give him your car keys ? The same logic applies to virtual goods.

It takes 2 mins to check if someone is the one who s/he claims to be. If someone doesn't do that, s/he is stupid !

Smart people can get scammed - Yes
But you have to be smart to not get scammed. See the difference ?
The scam you posted was very different. In case of steam, it is very easy to notice a scam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just because you are stupid, it doesn't mean you can't see that someone scams you. Some people are way cautious, even if they are stupid. Sure, if you are smart, you are going to have more chances, but that doesn't mean a stupid person won't see a scam.
As for the scam/steal argument. Both of them have the same result, but with different means and reasons. Just because you forgot your phone on a bench, it doesn't mean the guy that finds it must keep it. If he does and they find him, he will be guilty, even if he didn't steal or get the phone by any kind of means. That's because we live in the 21st Century and people can make sure the phone's owner can be found easily. So, yes, both smamming and stealing are the same things and should be punished by the same way. Otherwise, if I scam an old woman to give me $100 in order to save her house from the bank because she owns money, but instead get on a car and leave, it would be not the same as stealing and I would not get punished.

That's completely different, a scammer and thief would go with the intent of taking something from the victim. Your mom doesn't give birth to you just so that she will kill you, if so then that's messed up. But a murderer will go in with the intent to kill.

Take the scam as a learning experience and let him live his life. It's not like he murdered your family. There's no need for revenge.

But non-violent vigilante justice is so fun! He could always "SWAT" the guy; if he found the facebook account, its pretty easy to find his IP and address.
jk, kids. Don't do that to anyone. Ever.

Oh God, SWATing is the worst concept in online multiplayer gaming.

I remember someone posted an article a few moths back. This poor kid's mother was in hysterics, thinking her son was dead and some strange man was keeping her husband captive. It turned out they were just playing some CoD together, but the cops didn't know that.

Karma, an obviously erroneous concept, is not brought about by some self-righteous person delivering karmic justice intentionally; it's a mindless system of justice delivered mindlessly, so you can't just deliver karmic justice to whomever you think deserves it.
Scamming isn't a black and white, single-person sin anyway. The one being scammed is at fault for being gullible.
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't make the person who scams any less of an ass.
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course not. My statement about the gullible one being at fault may have been a bit too harsh. It's just that most scams are terribly obvious and quite easy to avoid by being smart about how you handle yourself. If it's a weird Steam trading scam, it's pretty easy to avoid being scammed because Steam gives you ample opportunity to ensure the trade is fair. Unlike rape, the scammed person is not violated and psychologically affected for life. Instead, being scammed can be used as a learning opportunity to become a wiser and more critically thinking person.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I guess you were.
Especially since there are many ways to make scam not look scammy for quite some time. Like chargebacks, using stolen credit-card info (which leads to chargebacks).
The thing I hate the most about those scams - I'm getting so many invites to "hey, check my offer at CSG0lounge" it's getting boring :( . Sometimes even from same bot :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Stolen credit card info is not a scam in the same sense as these that I'm discussing, but yeah, it's possible to make a scam look believable.

Report him on Steam and move along.
Stalking his Facebook probably won't do any good...
Comment has been collapsed.
I never really had any plans on revenge necessarily, I was thinking at least of confronting him using an alt facebook.
Comment has been collapsed.
So the plan is to give him opportunity to laugh in your face...

You should let his friends and family know that he's a thief. If you don't his behavior is only going to continue. People who steal from others are some of the lowest people out there, there's noting wrong with warning decent people away from a toxic drain on society.

It depends on the reason the murder. If they murder humans for personal reasons, like love for human blood or meat, then they are good. If they murder humans because they are paid to do so, they are low. If they murder humans because they know that humanity must go places, then they are even better. If they murder animals for any reason, I'm gonna send them in Hell!
P.S. By Hell I mean the basemeant of my Heaven. Not the Heaven of the Demons. All they are gonna do is enslave them.. I wanna torture them!

Just report him to steam. That's all you need to do.

At the time I was scammed, the profile name, let's say it was Bob Jimmy Jones. The profile picture was also a photo of someone, presumably Bob Jimmy Jones. I searched up Bob Jimmy Jones in google images, and there was someone who looked similar to the profile picture and it was a facebook profile under the name of Rob Jimmy Jones. I digged around his friends list and found someone named Bob Rob Hob, and in Bob Rob Hob's photos there was the same one as the profile picture.
You could say that it could be a good friend of both Rob Jimmy Jones and Bob Rob Hob, but both of them play a crap ton of Dota 2 and it's all over their profiles. In one of their photos were a screenshot of some Dota stuff, and there was his steam name. Searched it up on Steam. Looked at his friends list, and he's friends with the ALT account he used to scam me which was Bob Jimmy Jones and a ton of other semi-empty looking accounts.
Was scammed around 2-4 weeks ago.

You're clearly an intelligent person, so how did you let yourself get scammed so hard?

My friend has done paypal trades before so when I asked him whether he knew what he was doing and did all his research beforehand and he replied yes, I trusted he did do so to the full extent. I of course did check the guys playtime, inventory, steamrep and all that jazz and it was fine, but I didn't think it would be an alt or possibly hijacked.

Find his address and give him a visit. Just like this.

Dox him and call his parents or if he's living by himself, pay him a visit (Remember to bring a guy or two with you though)

Create a new facebook profile, buy loads of games and advertise your intrest on this page. Then invite this person to be your friend on facebook.
Befriend him and invite him over play games with him, invite him to fancy parties as host and propose a buisness partnership, nourish your relatioinship where you learn his every habit; professional, online and in private.
As his trust for you grows over the years, you build a cabin somewhere remote and invite him to come and hunt with you.. When the time is right..
YOU REVEAL YOURSELF!
Duel him with the rapiers you have brought. As he takes his final gurgling breath, you extract his steam name, and report that ***ker!
