    What happened? Description:
    Earlier today the user added me on Steam and asked to buy 120 TF2 keys, payment via bitcoin.
    He didn't want to go first so he offered me to use a middleman in the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Redditsteamexchange/wiki/index. The middleman Steam profile is Darko, private at time of report

    . I was dumb enough not to check carefully that the entire subreddit was a fraud. The middleman said he got the money and told me to send the keys to that user. After I sent the keys, both of them blocked me and set their profiles to private.​

    Provide Evidence:
    The middleman steam: View attachment 793110

    The buyer steam: View attachment 793111

    Screenshot of the trade: View attachment 793112

    Chat log not retrievable because both of them blocked me.

    I also included the trade offer history. This is the first time I submit a scam here, I don't know if I'm missing anything so I'll provide any information needed if the admin requests.

    This is what would happen if I was to deal with the middleman there, I made up the story. Now I got my chat log with the user, I will submit a new report. Sorry the admins if I wasted your time, I didn't know that I can not delete a report.

    What happened? Description:
    All the time in my report are in GMT+7.
    About 11AM 12/18 the accused sent me a friend request. I accepted and he asked to buy from me 120 TF2 keys, payment via BTC. We didn't know each other so at first he asked if I could deal through a middleman, fees on him. I requested the middleman from CSGO Trade/Sell/Buy group on Facebook and then he distracted me with "what is that". The fault is on me here as I completely forgot about my middleman, and he then told me to deal through his middleman instead. At the time of report I d
    I wanted to make long-term cooperation so to avoid fees I requested to transfer the keys first. He always pretended to be nice, asking fake questions and relieving me to make me feel that he's not trying to scam. After I sent the keys, I gave him the BTC address and he blocked me right after that, setting his profile to private. Soon after I checked on his MM and that profile was private either, so I think that the MM is related to the scam as well.
    I would provide any information requested by the admin if needed.​

    You didn't have any contact with the purposed middleman so we won't be reviewing anything to do with that user and I've hidden information related to them.
