    Tried to scam two items from me, Drodo and Fezzle-Feez. He was pretty sly, and got me into group chat with "Leon", but inspecting his profile I found out quickly that he had 20 hours of dota played. Sigh. He kicked me from the group chat and removed me from friends, so I'm not able to bring you pictures of the chatlog which is pretty upsetting and sad, since now I'm kinda without proof. He also removed the fake middleman from his friends so that he couldn't be linked to it, and he will most likely try to fight this since his account being "almost year old" was one of his selling points for being reliable. While I'm uncertain will this bring him an punishment, it should still be noted and remain for future so people can be careful around this guy.

    Cheers.

    Confirmed same user was acting very suspicious when trying to trade for my Drodo. Twice he didn't answer my question where he is located. Then said he had to get on the phone (most likely to call his middleman scammer).

    See the attached file of proof that this person is an attempted scammer.
