    Description:

    'Suge Marion Knight' added me to trade $45 in PayPal money for my BioShock Infinite. However, they weren't willing to go first, as shown in the pictures. They went offline briefly, and I took the time to do a little digging around. Clicking on the backpack in the Source OP Signature got me to a completely different profile with around 95 pages of profile comments - a lot of them +rep ones. Turned out the scammer took advantage of the fact that they changed their profile URL, and forgot to do the same on sourceop, which they had stopped using. They were completely perplexed and amazed when I asked about it. When I confronted the scammer about it, he immediately removed me.

    OK, just to resolve any doubts. I'm the real dru. I didn't check sourceop for a long time and when I changed my Steam URL, I forgot to change it on sourceop as well. I'm shocked that someone could use it to scam someone. I don't know what can I say more, just wanted to really apologize those who Suge Marion Knight scammed, if there's any victim.

    I think an admin or mod should delete that phising link in the post up top to avoid from anyone accidentally clicking it.
