    I can't add much in terms of evidence to this case, because lucky I didn't go through with the trade...I dodged a bullet which our comrade above did not. I can however attest to the method that the trader uses to convince you to trade: mainly saying he's screenshotting everything, adding an air of legitimacy. He screenshots his paypal balance, for example, in an attempt to prove that he can pay for your item. Here is a gyazo of the paypal screenshot he sent me: http://gyazo.com/2940217ce8b5da6f3e75a4b4733aef2d . I can also attest to the hurried and pressuring style of his chat, which ended up being the reason I did not go through with the trade. I felt I was being rushed into something which didn't feel quite right. I did take a screenshot of the chat, which I have provided.

    All I can say is more and more anecdotal evidence is being produced by people who have unfortunately fallen victim to this player's scam. Please investigate!

    Well I wasn't lucky enough like Cragman was. Tiger did the same with me. He told me he has a clear steamrep profile (which i checked) he also showed me screenshots from his paypal balance (3k euros) and how he could send the money right away. I even made him talk to me through skype and share his screen. He placed the number of money that he was about to give to me (750 euros for a karambit doppler fn) and waited for me to make the offer. He said he had alot of customers and stuff and that he has 2 knives on the market that he just bought. He removed them from market for me to see them in his inventory. I saw the knives I saw the reps and paypal balance and made me send the trade offer. He accepted and ofcourse blocked me right after. It's really sad so please be careful and never trade with this guy. He deserves to get banned..

    Please file separate reports. It's SR policy and also aids in cautioning other users from the same scam.
