What happened? Description:

Added me, asking how much for my unspecified unusual, agreeded to the 15 key buyout. I checked his backpack which did not have any keys at all, even though he said this was his main account after being questioned. He asked for a trusted friend that was online, and I gave him my brother's profile (who I already had added on steam) who I was going to wait to talk with about this. While we waited, he expressed very anxious behaviors, to the point of being annoying. Another person added me while we still talking (but after giving him my brother's profile), who I thought was a common phising bot with a low steam level. I added the second profile ready to report him for attempted phising, but then the profile picture and name changed to that of my brother's profile, and immediately sent me a trade offer. I knew this was very suspicious for my brother's computer was right next to me and he wasn't at it at all. I then became very suspicious of both their activity, seeing how one was impersonating my brother (and trying to hide it with a private profile) and another was looking to buy an unusual without possessing anything tradeable. It was then that my brother told me that they worked in tandem where I would have given my unusual to the impersonator and then both would have ran. My brother then proceeded to bring up his steamrep and show the reports previously filed against him and the situations that mirrored mine. Upon accusing him, he then changed his profile name and they both unfriended me, not allowing to see either of their private profiles.​
