'Flaws' lead to 'Scams'

Someone got rekt while trying to sell a Clash of Clans account, the seller did the ol switcher-roo and reclaimed the account. Lost $100 in TF2 items.

While trying to see how this 'market' works, ran into this gem.

Its insane how far virtual economies and scams reach. Most I know of worry about TF2/DOTA2/CSGO/WoW scams, but this is ridiculous. I wonder how many other 'mini-universes' exist outside of Steam.
