Victim profile: 76561198349899578

What happened? Description:

Someone named OutStrider added me on steam and I asked why he/she added me. He/she said he/she is interested in trading and I told him I only have keys. He/she asked how many keys I had and I said about 37. He/she sent a picture of a strange pro ks australium minigun and said he/she is selling it for 35 keys pure. I asked him to make his inventory public so I could see it and he sent a backpack.tf link of the person he/she is impersonating, outstrider. We agreed on a price of 32 keys pure (i knew he/she was scamming at this point and I was waiting for him/her to see how he/she wanted to scam me) and he/she then asked if my items are clean. He/she said that he is gonna have to get steam support to check them and he/she said he filled out a stead support ticket to check them. He/she sent me a link to someone and told me to add them to check my items. I didn't add them but based on what happened so far I can tell this is a scam because someone tried to scam me with this method before.​
