What happened? Description:

**********************************************
*********This was a suspected scam***************
**********************************************

* Was searching on csgolounge.com for people selling AWP Asiimovs and AK-47 Aquamarine Revenges. Found this guy (The accused) who was selling a large amount of skins, including a Huntsman Knife | Fade, Bayonet | Doppler (FN), AWP Asiimov, etc. (His CSGOLounge Trade posted in the evidence below)
* I posted a comment saying i'd pay $250 for the entire thing, and he added me.
* Checked his inventory, and asked if his bayonet doppler and SSG08 Blood in the water were for sale. He replied with a yes, and I offered him $210 for the Bayonet, and $15-20 for the SSG08. He had two ssgs, so I was going to buy them both, bringing the total to $250.
* I asked him if we could add in one CSGO Shadow Key and Chroma 2 key and his nametag, and he said sure, so the trade was:
- Bayonet | Doppler Factory New
- x2 SSG08 Blood in the Water Minimal Wear
- Shadow Case Key
- Chroma 2 Case Key
- Name tag
all for $250..
* He then asked me how I wanted to pay, and he said "prefer steamwallet".
* I replied, "that's impossible", and he said, "Yes u can" "Buy steamwallet codes".
* At this point, I was thinking, this is a fishy trade
* I replied, "I can't trust you there", and he replied "hmm, ok then u have paypal?"
* I agreed, and he told me his paypal email and told me to "tell him when money is sent"
* I then said, "We should use a middleman, if you insist on me going first"; i was really unsure about this trade at this point.
* He then started disagreeing and using poor language, and then removed me from his friendslist.

Provide Evidence:

Circled and pointed out the sketchy parts:
First Yellow Circle: "and steam wallet only" - Meaning he wants to trade for a steam wallet funds. I reply that that's not possible, then he says to buy steam wallet gift codes and give them to him, in exchange for the items.
-
Yellow Underline: I say that we should use a middleman if we're doing paypal, and if he insists me paying first.
-
Red Circle: He replies that he's "good" and says "goodbye" - Meaning that he doesn't want to use a middleman - He said he 'hates' middlemans.
-
Red underline: I reply with "no reason why a SR middleman won't work if this is a legitimate trade. Good point, right?
Then he says gtfo
