    What happened? Description:
    Added me to buy my knife which I do not have anymore, then casually switched over to wanting to buy my unusual hat. The rest is boilerplate middleman injection scammer:
    He also seems to have been reported a bunch of times for this already. Then he suddenly went offline. We did not get to the part where anyone would send me a trade request. No items were exchanged or lost.​

    It's hard to prove where this would have gone if you followed through with the accused's requests, but consistent with multiple other pending reports against them it is likely to have not ended well. It doesn't look like there is any additional evidence to gather because of where you ended it, so I'm passing this off to admins for processing.
