    Hello @frazzeldazzel , I am not part of SR staff but you were scammed by Jerry's impersonator. You must check if the SR link they gave you is in fact the Jerry who is middlemanning your trade. You reported the wrong Jerry. Did you even look at the note below his Steam Rep profile? Please do verify next time if the middleman is indeed the right trusted middleman, there are many impersonators out there claiming to be a "trusted middleman" on Steam Rep. See attached file below.

    Hello, please confirm who you traded with and give a link to the user, you traded with an impersonator.
