    SlyFox added me on Steam, offering me $90 for my TF Logo Festive Tree. I knew something was a little fishy, because my Tree is a 1-1.5 bud hat, so i asked to use a middleman. He said sure, then gives me a fake link to a page where Marty McFly looks like a middleman. ( http://stearmrep.com/profiles/76561198032374986.html )
    However, I immediately notice the misspelling of the link, and tell them i know he's not a trusted middleman. They both immediately leave chat and remove me from their friends lists. After a little investigation, i found that Marty McFly has already done this scam many times, and is a marked scammer. Marty's profile page also makes it look like he is a trusted middleman that is constantly being impersonated. I also notice that he has 0 hours of TF2 in the past two weeks.

    Code:
    Never tell your password to anyone.
    SlyFox: hi can you sell your for 90$?
    Shahanshah Grower: My unusual?
    SlyFox: yea
    SlyFox: and some sweets
    Shahanshah Grower: How much sweets were you looking for?
    SlyFox: hmmm
    SlyFox: 16 refs and 2 keys
    SlyFox: and ok
    SlyFox: you agree?
    Shahanshah Grower: Sure. Can we use a middleman though?
    Your chat with SlyFox is now a multi-user chat.
    Marty McFly entered chat.
    Marty McFly: Hello guys
    Marty McFly: What's up here?
    SlyFox: We need you to middleman for us, I am buying his unusual, 12 ref and 2 keys for 90$
    Marty McFly: Okay
    Marty McFly: What unusual?
    SlyFox: festive tree w tf2 logo
    Marty McFly: Okay
    Marty McFly: Shahanshah do you agree?
    Shahanshah Grower: No, you're not a trusted middleman.
    Marty McFly left chat.
    SlyFox left chat.

    Both SlyFox and Marty added me trying to buy my unusual. SlyFox offered me $150 for my Scorching Gym Rat and SF rocket which he was suspiciously overpaying for. And Marty added me a day later offering me 2 unusuals, which I later found out to be stolen. About 5 hours after he added me, I checked his BP and he had about 5 new unusuals. I got a little skeptical and checked the history of them. And what do ya know, he scammed all of them. Here's one example: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/3096226
    He moved all the unusuals to his supposed main account and is now attempting to sell them here: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/3117382 I hope this situation gets fixed up before he manages to sell those hats.
    Account where he's keeping the current unusuals: http://steamcommunity.com/id/NIKE_GIRL/
