    Well, this person added me out of nowhere, and he said he had played with me recently and if I sell a Bill's hat or keys, I said thats weird because I had not played with him but I said yes I had keys, the point is that I said: you would buy a key for 2.20 dollars, but he was going to deposit by paypal, I told him I lost my paypal email and he told me that the money was going to send my Steam profile through paypal, according to my experience that can not be done, and I told him I knew the scam methods, as when he says "I could find it lower, I've heard people selling for 1.70, but I'm lazy" thats suspicious and an scamming attempt, then he says I am scamming because I was not going to go first and i know the scammers techniques

    #SWAG: hey
    Villager: hey
    Villager: I was playing with you recently in a game
    Villager: do you have a bill's hat?
    #SWAG: I wasnt playing recently
    #SWAG: ;-;
    Villager: or keys?
    Villager: I was going down my list and you were there
    #SWAG: Wow thats weird
    #SWAG: but ye
    #SWAG: I have keys
    Villager: can I buy them with paypal?
    #SWAG: What are you going to pay for each?
    Villager: well do you have a paypal?
    Villager: and i dunno
    Villager: $2?
    #SWAG: yes i have paypal
    Villager: okie
    Villager: what is it?
    #SWAG: wait a min
    Villager: okay
    #SWAG: welp according to steam market
    #SWAG: its 2.27
    Villager: ehm
    #SWAG: maybe 2.20 for you
    Villager: okie
    #SWAG: I have 8
    Villager: can I buy 1?
    Villager: its all I need
    #SWAG: sure
    Villager: okie
    Villager: what's your paypal s***?
    #SWAG: w8
    #SWAG: wait a min please
    #SWAG: i forgot my paypal account
    #SWAG: xD
    Villager: lmfao
    Villager: well
    Villager: I can still send it to your profile
    Villager: would it be okay if you went first?
    #SWAG: You should, what you're paying is less than the real price
    Villager: what if I paid
    Villager: wait
    #SWAG: You can take screenshots
    Villager: I'm confused
    #SWAG: of the trade, and you can report me for scamming
    Villager: are you trading key first, or you sending money to me
    Villager: wait
    Villager: wtf
    Villager: are you trading key first, or am I sending money?
    #SWAG: you sending money first
    Villager: why?
    Villager: everyone I've traded with trades item first
    #SWAG: Welp I dont know if that is true
    #SWAG: But you can run with my key
    #SWAG: And you are paying 2.20 and the real price of the key is 2.49
    Villager: I could find it lower
    Villager: I've heard people selling for 1.70
    #SWAG: Welp, go and buy it
    Villager: but I'm lazy to go and find them
    #SWAG: Im not a baby bro, I know the techniques of the scammers
    #SWAG: You first, and then me
    Villager: That statement right there makes me not want to trade you anymore.
    #SWAG: Dude, the "I've heard people who are selling it for 1.70"
    #SWAG: Its quite rare
    #SWAG: If do you know people who sell keys for 1.70 go and buy them
    Villager: gahh
    Villager: I'll do that
    Villager: but
    Villager: in the meantime
    Villager: I'm screenshotting what you said; as proof of your scamming.
    #SWAG: I am scamming ? Ok
    #SWAG: And why am I scamming ?
    Villager: #SWAG: Im not a baby bro, I know the techniques of the scammers

    dunno, good report, just seems weak to me, maybe you did recently play with him, maybe he was willing to pay 2.20. lastly scamming for 1 key? dunno
    a nice and easy way to filter scammers is suggest a middleman, that usually sends them running. also you should always use a middleman

    Welp no, I know i should use a middleman, but Real money is Real money and Im not reporting a scam, i am reporting a scam attempt, so users can see and dont trade with this man.

    Ok so if I'm understanding this correctly. The person you claim as a scammer is saying your a scammer (of which there is zero indication) and the only thing that indicates he is a scammer is this line here:

    Should have tried to talk him into writing the "This is Steam support you have recieved x dollars" nonsense. Because TBH it's kind of difficult to see his angle here.

    "Villager: well
    Villager: I can still send it to your profile
    Villager: would it be okay if you went first?"

    "Villager: I could find it lower
    Villager: I've heard people selling for 1.70
    #SWAG: Welp, go and buy it
    Villager: but I'm lazy to go and find them"

    Then he defends saying I'm a scammer because I know the scam metods. Its clearly a scam attempt. Send money to my profile ? What is that bro?, read.
