What happened? Description:

Person Added me at random at 0500 GMT asking me to trade my Infernal flames Conga taunt for 75 keys pure, when asked for trading he insisted we use OPSkins, to which I stated that I cannot as I knew this was a scam, he then insisted we use a "Steam Administrator" to verify that my taunt was valid. after a while, i ended the conversation I exposed him by telling him exactly what he was trying to accomplish and was promptly blocked by his account and the "steam administrators" account.
