What happened? Description:

Added me, looking to trade. We made a deal and then he asked me to look for a steamrep community admin to make sure my items were legit. He gave me a link to a impersonator who was banned from both steamrep and rep.tf. He and the impersonator went offline the second I said something about it, becoming clear that he was trying to scam me.​

I am fake (2): ive been scammed for many times thats why i dont want to do same mistake again
I am fake (2): what do you mean?
SkyliteDestiny: But how am I scamming you when the items I'm giving you are legit with legit histories and you're offering the correct payment for the items?
