He explained everything to me and I'm going to tell it here. I'm an admin in a community that we both belong and we both are traders, hence why he asked me to report him. What happened is my friend TgM wanted to do a trade with this guy Rusty. They talked a few times rusty always saying he's going to do the trade and afterwards suddenly changing his mind and putting him down. In the end he made up his mind, only if TgM had added a bills. As you can see in the screenshots he agreed and wanted to make the trade but then Rusty wanted TgM to give his hat to his so called sister, bubbles - no screenshot of his/her profile nor any steamid. The trade would've been done withouth a middleman and the hat would've went to the so called sister, afterwards TgM getting the hat. Way to fishy. After TgM told him that it's a scam because that isn't the profile of his sister it's the profile of a trader bubbles instantly deleted him so he could not make a screenshot. To be honest it's pretty clear from the screenshots what he tried to do. Should you have further questions feel free to add me and we can make a chat with all 3 of us. Cheers, Durolan
Update: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198054796955 - Bubbles profile, had both him and his frieds @ friends http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/14558 - His profile on outpost, banned
Thank you for your report, an admin will investigate shortly. Also, his ban isn't really relevant since it's only an infraction of OP rules.
