Quickly, one helpful friend on the community discussions sent me a message, saying that the Sexy Emu was legitimate. I was confused but the scammer "THE TRUTH | Trade.tf" didn't believe me when I said I sent a friends request to Sexy Emu. I told them I did but they still didn't believe me. They must have sent me the wrong link to send a trade to... So the Sexy Emu user was the real, well Sexy Emu..

God, seems like enstage is legitimate aswell. The main scammer would be well, the one I manly reported (THE TRUTH | Trade.tf)
