What happened? Description:

So this guy named Hope Akpan added me saying he wanted to buy my pink Max Head for 54 keys. I checked his backpack, and he had no keys, so i was a little suspicious at the beginning. He said that he had to buy the keys off steam market. He said that he was afraid that I was going to back out so I had to give it to one of my trusted friends. I knew something fishy was up, so I logged onto one of my friend's accounts (Lazor Penguin) and chatted with him there. He said that he would buy the keys after I traded my friend (Lazor Penguin) the Max Head. He then proceeded to have one of his friends (OneWay)

add me and he had changed his name to Lazor Penguin. I check his previous name history and it did not match my friends previous name history. He kept on sending me trades to try and trade my Max Head to him, which was in my friend's account. After I confronted him about his impersonation, he proceeded to remove me.
