Please send him a trade so He knows to give the card back before I submit the report. If he is banned, he keeps the card. I want it back. He hid my Murray black boost in a bunch of Reds and I accepted before I knew what he was doing. second time in two days I have been scammed. Ugh. The other card wasn't one I played and OneGaucho was awesome in hooking me up. EDIT: I may not be able to get my cards back, but Ill pay forward the reminder on these scams: digitalcardcentral.com/2014/10/07/scam-alert-hide-the-black-boost-and-loaned-cards-reminder/ |

No offense but I don't think he technically did anything wrong. It's YOUR responsibility to check all the cards before hitting accept and then confirming you accept the trade (they ask you twice for a reason).
If topps were to start reversing trades that people "accidentky" accepted it would set a dangerous precident.

Sorry for bump here, but just saw tripmode's response and it is the most ridiculous thing ever. It's victim blaming the trade recipient. If you're anything like me, I work off numerous trades. All it takes is one small misstep where your wife, kid, friend, etc. is talking to you and you lose focus to the douchebags who try to hide stuff.
People say you should lock it but then that eliminates the reason for trading in the first place. You want to trade it to a person for reasonable value, but you don't want to trade it to a scammer trying to catch somebody at a moment of weakness.
I lost a Cueto Black back when boosts weren't a dime a dozen when I was in the middle of feeding my kid and having my wife ask me some random questions. I thought I had a person just needing some commons for a single insert. I was super pissed at the moment and even sent BUNT an email. I got 4 form emails back before I got a real person. In the end, BUNT ended up saying the person did nothing wrong, I shouldn't have accepted the trade.
After that, I ended up petitioning Apple and got all my money I had ever spent then sold all my good cards for PayPal . I was never banned somehow after getting a good chunk of change back, so I still lurk on there. BUNT lost a good customer that day and will continue today take advantage of the free coins, but never a real dollar again.
In the end, Topps should look at a policy that will reverse some trades that are blatant scamming. Instead, they say there is nothing wrong with it and don't take action against those who do scam. It will continue to be an issue until Topps attempts to curb this behavior. They will ban somebody for saying something a little too risqué, but then look the other way with these issues.
End of rant.

IMO, you accepted the trade. They offerred you a BS trade, you shouldn't have accepted. Its not scamming unless they actually lie to you. Ex. comment saying "1 insert for 9 commons".

It is absolutely scamming. If you are offering a trade where you hope the other person doesn't notice the valuable card amongst the common cards, you are scamming. This is not offering slightly less than the card is worth and hoping the person accepts it, this is trying to sneak something past another person, the absolute definition of a scam. Furthermore, one does not have to use words in order for it to be a scam. Putting 8 common cards and one valuable card that looks a lot like a common card together in a way that you hope slips past the other persons notice is a scam, it certainly is not a legitimate trade offer. Certainly, we should all be more careful in accepting our trades, but the fact that a person shouldn't have accepted a trade, doesn't make it scamming on the other side. I'm not someone who gets tons of unsolicited trade offers so I review every trade offer I get thoroughly, but if you get tons of trade offers and you are often making 9 for 1 trades involving common cards, I imagine it is easy to lose focus. |
