    Description:
    I was randomly added by this person on Steam. He expressed interest in my hat and promptly tried to impersonate a Skial admin and middlema, Faron http://steamrep.com/index.php?id=76561198037039111. He asked for my rep, too, before he'd be willing to send the money first. His profile is far from a good attempt at impersonation. It was already clear that he was an impersonator but I played along for a bit before stopping the trade before anything really happened. His profile is far from a good attempt at impersonation.
