    Hi,

    I had a quite suspicious chat with once SoP trusted seller Kiz (http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=21819). His SteamRep info:
    steamID: HYPER VIPER
    steamID32: STEAM_0:1:17329183
    steamID64: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994924095
    customURL: http://steamcommunity.com/id/hyperviper007
    steamrepURL: http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197994924095

    He added me and offered $240 for my Scorching Snaggle. During our chat he acted suspiciously impatient and was not willing to wait till some of the middlemen shows up (as can be seen below). His last trade was in February; therefore, I decided to use a middleman's help even though Kiz is (was) a trusted seller.
    Also, his writing style was quite different from the one seen on the forum.

    Another thing that was quite a turn-off is his group "SourceOP Trusted Sellers (SOP-TS)" with him as the only member. That group was started today (March 26th), but in the description it says: "THIS GROUP HAS A DECEMBER 5TH, 2010 CREATION DATE."

    To sum it all up, seemed quite a lot like a hijack.

    Yeah, his impatient behavior was quite a turn-off. And this fake group doesn't help.
