    So this guy added me to buy my Killer exclusive for $210 paypal. Seemed nice enough, though no sourceOP rep. Everything looked good until he asked if we could use a middleman. He sent me a link to his trusted "middleman":

    Not only is this guy not a middleman, but I'm 99% positive its one of his many alternate accounts. So I could have given this "middleman" my hat, but never gotten the paypal. Fortunately I didn't fall for it, but someone else eventually will. This guy and his dupe accounts need to get marked before he scams someone for real.

    You can't use a dupe account as a middleman right? BertBert27 chat.png Bert Trade.png xXSegionSergioXx Trade.png

    To prove its his alt account, check these two trades out, selling the same hat:

    http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/10566464
    He's moving the hat between the two accounts.
