What happened? Description:

He tried to scam me for my Unusual Handyman's Handle with the Blizzardy Storm Effect worth around £20 on the Community Market.

First of all, he added me the day before and was just talking to me, I asked why he added me and he said that I added his brother a few hours before he added me, some guy called 'TheDogeLover' which was in on the scam too. They were both very friendly but then after a few hours they started to say things and sounded scammy.

Pretty much, when I logged on about an hour ago from making this Report right now, TheDogeLover messaged me asking if he could borrow my Big Mann on Campus cosmetic for the Scout on TF2, I said no and said that I don't let people borrow items, he promised to give it back to me in 1-2 weeks but I still declined and he was okay with that. So that made me feel a bit weird.

Then, after around 2 minutes later, the other guy, "his brother" apparently, messaged me and said that he would buy my Unusual for 500 dollars, now I knew this was going to be an instant scam but I decided to go along with it anyway and took screenshots along the way (which will be added on the evidence section below). I was saying that it wasn't worth 500 dollars, it's worth 20 which it is plus I don't live in the US anyway, I live in the UK. He said that he coded a special command to use on the cmd on his PC which he claimed to generate a code after entering which is really funny because the cmd has nothing to do with generating codes for money and then he said he would then press merge fields then grab the item and click merge line and then he would use a spawn bot. This wasn't making sense and I'm sure it isn't making sense for you either because this is impossible and I haven't heard any thing this fake and crazy in my entire life.

He was then explaining steps on how we would do the deal. I asked whether I had to go first and trade the Unusual over to him, he said yes. Now obviously I didn't do it but I still asked for more details and it appeared that when I was asking questions he was struggling to answer straight away and was making up different answers contradicting/embarrassing himself so many times. He also said that the command was so precious and technical that I won't understand it and I won't have access to it, that's because it's all a lie right?

So wrapping it all up, the main scammer didn't actually scam me as I didn't fall for it as he made it so obvious that it was a scam and I didn't lose any items, I was just wondering if I could get this guy and that other guy that was the 'Co-scammer' behind the limelight shall I say punished so that they can't try this on anyone else.

The Co-scammers Identifier Block (TheDogeLover) - The guy behind the limelight acting innocent who was claiming that TheScrubKiller was his brother when they were actually cooking up a plan to scam me - hense why he said the phrase "this is a robbery, you will have to give me your plumbers hat" obviously shows he was involved in the scam wanting to get the item (Unusual) as my Unusual is a Plummer's Hat:
