    So apparently a "Certified" Steamrep Middleman just scammed my knife. What's up with that?

    did you actually look up the user and his id yourself to make sure not an impersonator?

    doubtful.

    Highly doubtful a Steamrep middleman would scam someone.

    I think there was only one case of that happening and it was forever ago.

    99.999 % of the scams involving "official" middleman are imposters. We still have to be vigilant, but the chance that its the real MM is pretty small. We tell every time to the ppl that they should check them out themselves, but instead they click on a link the fake MM provided, that links to the real guy. And the victim never checks if the guy they talk to is the real one or not.

    Some MM's are impersonated so much...

    We keep warning for those, but if ppl don't check, its their own fault.
