    He also tried this on me, he made a ridicolous offer ( my medal of honor key and super hexagon for his Thief 2014 key). Of course he wanted me to go first.
  3. added me out of the blue asking for trade as well.
    deleted him,

    Carnium--- absolutely do not provide fake keys yourself. The original guy could have reported you for trying to scam him. Scamming scammers or griefing them with false offers really makes our lives more complicated and risks your own reputation-- be careful.

    I agree the accused looks quite shady-- so I will mark a CAUTION despite us not typically handling these cases further. The repeated attempts really sounds like a scam attempt.
