The cost of being a dumb kid...
The first in, hopefully, a long line of "The cost of.." stories.
Trust.
It's a big word with a lot of weight. Trust is not something that you have, it's a thing that you earn. Being a trustworthy person is a incredibly important in my eyes and I try to be worthy of the title "TRUTWORTHY".
But some people are not worth the effort and you should never trust people automatically.
It's like your virginity - don't give it to just anyone.
Unfortunately for me, I am a trusting person and often, like a trust whore, give my trust to people that should not have it even complete strangers.
I love playing games and for a long time I have been playing CSGO. Once I learned about the gambling possibilities of CSGO skin market, I was even more hooked - it revitalized the game for me... I might be a gambling addict...
Anyway, the weapon skins can actually be sold for quite a lot of money and at couple of times I had gambled my way to 100+euros. And I just wanted to try and trade a bit to get something more. So after a couple of trades I meet this guy.
Everything about him said - scammer, but as a dumb kid and a trust whore and a bit of a greedy bastard, I chose to trust the guy who says he can get discount skins and will trade my 100eur skin for something better but... I need to make the first move. I have to trade him my knife and then he will return it because - he had been scammed before and needed to know I was serious trader.
So after the greed and dumbness took over me, I did what he wanted and that is the last time I saw my knife, because he blocked me after that.
moral of the story - DON'T TRUST PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET!
