    Description: Injection Scam: User contacted me to pay for my unusual. He requested that I provide a middleman. When I did he went AFK.
    Later I received a trade request from what appeared to be my middleman. Username, profile picture and all. He wanted my Unusual.
    It smelled fishy, so I asked him what game he gave me recently and he didn't know (the answer was Nexuiz).

    I didn't think to report him until after I closed the chat, but the screenprint shows the strangeness of what's happening.

    Do you have any screenshots of the chat linking r.babington to the scam?

    Good point. Sorta messed that one up, didn't I?
    Looks like both users are on Valve Probation atm anyway.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Without a screenshot for r.babbington, there isn't much that can be done. However, there was definite evidence of the Barret impersonator's involvement. That user is now tagged.
