    What happened? Description:
    Got scamed out of a Huntsman Urban Masked knife, worth around $57.50 USD. He sent a friend request after i posted on cs go lounge looking to trade knife for real paypal money. I added him and we worked out the price of $55. He then said that he doesnt want to go first and im not as dumb as to go first either. He said he would get a middle man from steamrep.com/list/M. This was my first trade ever after saving up for a long time to get the knife so i didnt know what any of this ment. Anyway he got a guy in who was the middle man "[RG]BACON" and i had a look and the profile pic and name was perfect, so i carryed on.
    i traded the knife to the "middle man" then got kicked and blocked by Prophecy. I worked out that somthing was wrong so had a closer look at the Bacon profile and it was set to private, found out i had been scamed off all my hard work. Not sure what i can do other then try to get him ban, of which he will prob just make another account. Thanks a ton if you can help get this guy banned so this wont happen to anyone else.​

    Banning him now, thanks for the report. Also if you could provide the information about the fake middleman, that would be helpful.
