Description: User posted in this trade on outpost with an offer of $60 on paypal for my searing plasma heavy duty rag, I added the user to discuss particulars, despite him having no rep he insisted on me going first. He also stated he removed rep from his profile by accident, but refused to provide me with someone I could talk to that had traded with him over paypal. He also gave no rationale for me going first. Note that no scam occurred, and I am asking for a caution tag for this user.

This user continues to, what seems to me, attempt to scam me. Most recently they tried to buy 26 keys from me for "me acc" for "mw3". Then they agreed to buy them for $35 usd in games, but when it came down to it they told me "pipo0nb: need first pipo0nb: keys". They wanted me to give them the keys first despite being able to trade games for keys in a single window. I didn't hear back from them for a while when they sent "pipo0nb: http://c.steelseries.com/dota2betakey?code=ewJ08ln4" to me, and when I asked them wtf it was and explained I already have dota 2 they said "subscribe pls", and said they wouldn't buy the keys from me for games.

I suspect the link may be some sort of phishing site, but it could easily be some referral site that makes him money instead. IDK. Hide the link if you think it should be hidden, please.

Turns out the link is a referral site. Not a phishing site.

looks cleary like a scam attempt to me.

Rather fishy to me. Thanks for the report, I'll move this to the appropriate subforum.

I appreciate the report.

While fishy, I cannot verify if it was a scam attempt. If any more evidence can be dug up, please post another report.
