    Hi. This gentleman added me earlier today giving no explanation of who he was or what he wanted, instead leaving a curt answer of "brb" to my queries. Upon looking at his Steam profile, I saw that he was apparently a trader, and that he had a Source OP rep page displayed on his profile.

    What made me suspicious, though, was the fact that his Source OP page URL was subtly missing a "C", spelling "soureop" instead of "sourceop", and that upon adding a "C" to the URL (which redirects the page to this: http://forums.sourceop.com/threads/42599-Trunk-s-Rep-Thread), I was greeted with a similar webpage which contained exactly the same replies up to page 11.

    No scams or attempted scams have been performed on me (my Steam account is far too pathetic to be worth any serious attack), but I felt at the time that it would be worth looking into this incident on the off chance that my suspicions turn out to be justified.

    Thanks for your time, and apologies if I formatted this post incorrectly in any way.
