Description: The scammer added me, with both accounts, and told me he wanted to buy my unusual and after telling him my price of 2 buds, he went AFK for some time and I closed the chat thinking nothing of it. A few hours later, this conversation took place. I agreed to be his accomplice in his scam accidentally as I wasn't sure what he was talking about. I thought he meant he got scammed, but I soon found out otherwise. His target added me and I told his target about it. The scammer got mad but promised to buy buds with PayPal, which at this point I don't believe. He also claimed that the target had scammed him, but when I asked the target about it, he said that the scammer had gave him 1 bud in items to gain his trust. While I'm typing this, he is claiming to buy buds with PayPal without scamming so that he can trade me them for my unusual.

Repulse: he says you scammed him
Repulse: I don't get it
I am Xeph: say what?
I am Xeph: o-o
I am Xeph: heres the deal
I am Xeph: We were talking over skype
I am Xeph: then
I am Xeph: he gave me some items in order to i guess "earn my trust"
I am Xeph: then this happened
I am Xeph: So its his fault
I am Xeph: Looks like the scamming backfired

So yea, As it says, At the time I was on skype with loren, He first was going to get his friend to middleman which I obviously didnt fall for, I then added someone on steam to ask if they could middleman, while waiting for the person the scammer told me he found someone to "middleman", turns out he asked repulse to scam the box off me, This also shows him attempting to bribe the middleman, after that I told him I knew, He removed me on skype. With the bud of items, this is what happened, the scammer gave me some items in order to gain my trust, after recieving these items I sold them without thinking they could have possibly been scammed from people, However, good thing is they were all traded for an unusual so everything is good. After that he then attempted to frame me without any proof of me doing anything, Also notice how he told the middleman only after I told him I knew. good thing repulse told me and I am very thankful and hope the screenshots are good enough proof to get him marked!

Don't think I can edit things so I'm going to update my previous description so it's clearer.
