Description: Well i had just sold my 2nd unusual and i was going to a server to sell some of the sweets i had received and one man was saying that he was selling portal 1 and 2 combo for 5 ref. I instantly jumped on the trade because i was already looking for the game. Well when i entered trade he said its not in his trade window so he says ill send it to you as a gift. I had not know that all steam games compatible with trade. I said alright I'm bit scared of a scam so why don't we appoint a middle-man and he volunteers one of the friends on his friends list I feel this is a bit shady so i say ill give you 2 ref right now and the 3 after the game is in my library he accepts to my conditions. Immediately after i give him the metal he says alright I sent it to you and when i view my library it has no portal 2 but has portal 1 which i purchased for my self. So i send him a few messages saying i haven't received it. He promptly switches his name and continues on the server trying to sell the same item for 8 ref this time. When one person is about to trade him i speak out and let them know he scammed me now that I'm more sure it was a scam. He then leaves the server,blocks my messages, and changes his name in a futile attempt to evade the authoritays

below is the last bit of the trade process in which he wanted 3 more ref
