He provided the profile of "catchthebear", who has a clean reputation. 4) I provide the key for my side of the bargain. 5) Scammer blocks and deletes me. 6) I attempt to get back in touch and mistakenly add the real catchthebear. I have a conversation with catchthebear and finally figure out that he was not the person in the conversation before. 7) Unfortunately, I only have a transcript of the conversation between the real catchthebear and I. Code: Never tell your password to anyone. Nebby: hello catchthebear: Hey. Nebby: so, you were going to trade me bioshock 2? Nebby: for the red guerrilla that you redeemed catchthebear: Beg your pardon? catchthebear: I've never talked to you before.
