Victim profile: 76561198063136968

What happened? Description:

First thing's first, some guy, by the name of "ProAirshots" added me and claimed that he'd buy my Kill - A - Watt Das Maddendoktor for $150 (or £93.70). He also said that his friend was a trusted middleman (at the time, he got alot of thumbs up on backpack.tf that he was a trusted middleman, but as I am writing this, he got perma - banned off of backpack.tf)

boNES: Firstly, how do I know that you won't scam me Zip/
boNES: Not saying that you're a bad person

boNES: Ok
Zip: Yes I've done many paypal trades before and they have all gone without anyone getting scammed

Zip: someone that gave me a positive rating has 99 positive ratings
boNES: Ok
boNES: So who shall I give the unusual to?
Zip: me
Zip: tif you're ready to do this just trade me when you're ready

The fake Middleman then proceeded to giving me a fake Steam Wallet Code and then they both blocked me on Steam.​

I'm not a Admin/mod for steamrep:
I do not understand, it is assumed that those who have such high objects should be concordant with the issue of cheating ... but it seems that in general, people fall equally.
I just want you unusual is returned and please learn from this type of scamms to avoid future confusion

Hi. I was looking for a way to report this guy, because yesterday the SAME EXACT thing happened to me! He offered 50 dollars in steam codes for my unusual frenchmans beret and did the middleman stuff with "Zip" and I have him a hat and he have me a fake code and they both blocked me. This frustrates me so much because it was my first unusual and my only pricy item that I ever owned...and I lost it to a damn scammer! Please ban these guys... Makes me so mad

Well the middleman affected here its penguin the fluffy, the impersonator account its up there but i post it again for references
